It is indeed a hard provlem. No low hanging fruit. There certainly not alone, but have a bigger issue with grooming and predation since half of all kids use their platform.
It would be an easy problem if the government put in place sensible reforms for age verification.
- nomel 7mo ago> It would be an easy problem if the government put in place sensible reforms for age verification. What would these reforms look like?
- intrasight 7mo agoFor starters, get rid of Section 230. Then getting over the collective fear of the government having a role in our online identity. They provide foe our physical identity so I don't understand why we're afraid of them providing our digital identity too.
- fwipsy 7mo agoI thought that sounded off, Wikipedia says it's half of all American kids.
- Aeolun 7mo agoIt’s certainly more than half of all my kids.Also more than half of the kids I know in Japan.
- fc417fc802 7mo ago> It would be an easy problem if the government put in place sensible reforms for age verification. Implying there's a simple solution that isn't being implemented because they weren't forced to by law. So what is that simple solution? Children typically don't have any form of government issued ID. You can verify someone is a legal adult (you probably shouldn't, but the point is that you can) whereas you can't easily verify that someone online is a child.
- intrasight 7mo agoI didn't say there was a "simple solution". I said it would be an easy problem for the software services if they had a proper age verification service that was government sanctioned.
- fc417fc802 7mo agoIf it's an easy problem then there's a simple solution. You seem to have glossed over my second paragraph. How is this service supposed to work for children?
- intrasight 7mo agoSorry, didn't respond to that. All humans must be assigned digital identity by the government. You won't be able to use a connected digital device without assigning it identity.
- fc417fc802 7mo agoOkay. That would indeed make it an easy problem to solve from the perspective of a service operator. However I don't think I'd consider that to be a "sensible reform". Rather a dystopia that must be avoided at all costs.
