You can still educate? Nothing about banning the physical access outside prevents you from educating. They can still have accounts, the platforms can continue what they have been doing for years. Not too different from educating a child about responsible alcohol consumption.
- necovek 9mo agoIf I want my kid to have an account, and a service employs (let's imagine without flaws) facial recognition for age verification, how can they use it? Am I misunderstanding what "ban" means here?
- ares623 9mo agoBan on the smartphone device itself. Like banning kids from access to alcohol. They can still use dumb phones. Or laptops. Or even tablets. Just not smartphones. In my mind, that will be enough to short circuit the network effects of social media enough for kids and parents to voluntarily wean off them and regulate their own personal use.
