Right, definitely wouldn't want that. But do we just have to accept the negative impact the internet can have on children as a necessary evil then?

- scarface_74 3y agoSo you would be okay giving your ID to Facebook or any other site before you can access it?
- knightoffaith 3y agoNo, I wouldn't. I'm just wondering if we have to accept the consequences for children or if there's some alternative solution.
- scarface_74 3y agoHow do you propose that social media sites verify your age without showing them your ID?
- fragmede 3y agoBy showing a third party their ID that doesn't share the actual ID with eg, Facebook. That third party would then share their status with Facebook. Facebook doesn't get the ID, but does get to verify that they're of age (or not).
- scarface_74 3y agoSo now the government still has a way to match a user with a real person and we have to trust a third party company with our ID? And I should have to do that as a 50 year old guy with grown kids for “the children”? How about if parents are concerned about their kids, they should use the parental controls that are already available. And this isn’t theoretical for me. I live in Florida.
- krapp 3y agoIf we have to accept the negative impact of bullets in our childrens' bodies from spree killers and cops as a necessary evil to preserve the Second Amendment then yes, we should accept the negative impact of the internet as a necessary evil to preserve the First.
