      Agree, there must be accountability from the corporations. And while age limits sound nice, they are hard to enforce. I haven’t seen one country or company roll this out successfully.

      Also, how would you verify a 16 yo, not like all of the have IDs. Seems like that responsibility should also fall on the parents.

      Maybe he should also raise the age limits then on his platform from 13 to 16 and be a pioneer, but let’s be real, he won’t, cause that’s loss of money

      Every website coming out of the woodworks to bring about real id surveillance under the guise of „protecting the kids“ I see. Conservatives with hidden post histories don’t bother replying, everyone knows „protecting the kids“ was never something you genuinely believed.

      And I’m sure he wants the actual validation and enforcement and blah blah to be „someone else’s problem“…

      I’m unaware of how they think keeping kids in the dark is going to help them once they are able to use the internet. I just don’t understand how these CEOs are looked up to for their wisdom.

      Sooo many kids in the elementary school my son goes to use Pinterests version of shorts as a Ticktock alternative. They know this, and just try to use this scrap for more data scraping.

      We should all be on the same page here, parents, educators, producers, all three power branches. The minute my kids got one to one school devices these were used for classroom comfort instead of actual learning. Gamified math isn’t math, it’s a game. An app with a chat turns to all sorts of bad communication and destroys the business model. 

      Shareholders of all these apps: focus on engagement destroys the substance – the fastest one to change this narrative will win – not the one who plays the system, our minds.

      Get kids off games and chats. The ones who do, will profit before the rest.

      Hi, Nostradamus here. Here’s exactly what’s going to happen (and why all these tech CEOs are so very in favor of this):

      sites/services banned for ages under 16

      ages under 16 still find a way to get access

      site/service says under 16 no longer present, save money on content moderation

      site/service gains new revenue stream from selling people’s IDs

      shareholders rejoice!

      They just want our personal identification data. They don’t give a shit about kids.

      While we’re at it, I call for a ban for pinterest showing up on every image search, and a ban for forcing people to create an account for clicking to view the source of said image.

      I’ve been over 18 since I was 6. 16 shouldn’t be a problem for the youth of today.

      I wish we could all just agree for transparency, this is not about protecting children, this is about laziness and/or inability to moderate platforms by their owners, with an added layer of additional data collection.

      I am completely in favor of limiting social media access to kids under 16, but not at the risk of losing personal privacy through legislation.

      It is on the parents to know what their kids are watching and companies controlling age restricted content moderation. Not some arbitrary age check.

      The truth is these companies would rather do an age check then create moderation systems for various ages of adolescence (which means hiring human people, not some AI algorithm), and provide tools for parents to track their kids Internet usage. Additionally, parents need to be more present in what their kids are watching, while understanding boundaries of what is actually appropriate in these changing times.

      Age cut off as well? Whatever the average life expectancy is. No social media after that.

    19. metarx on

      I think we can just ban social media at this point, adults can’t handle it either.

      It’s wild we have to risk free speech, internet anonymity, and basic common sense with regards to data security because parents have failed to restrict their children more.

      I had AOL parental controls in the early 2000’s. I know the landscape is much more complex today; but did parents just give up on things like parental controls and monitoring what their children are ingesting all day?

      This isn’t to protect children, they’ve proven many time they don’t care about us, or our kids. This is to push in a national/world digital ID they can attach to programmable digital money and control every aspect of our lives. Many states are sneaking in laws like this about the devices themselves.. do whatever you can to fight against it . At minimum just do a little bit of research for yourself and then spread the word . Then reach out to your local politicians and tell them NO
