What’s wrong with making it the social media companies’ problem? If they sign up a child, they get fined. Everyone is then incentivized to come up with solutions. If some of those are shit, restrict them. If they’re not, great.

- EmbarrassedHelp 6mo agoBecause your "solution" creates massive privacy violations unless age verification and age assurance are banned, and result in even larger fines.
