      Couldn’t we like… stop companies from targeting kids and maybe restrict kids from having smart phones? I think this would fix the problem and wouldn’t infringe on people’s privacy and personal data more than it already is. Seriously, bring back basic call and text flip phones that aren’t connected to the internet and have those for people under 18 and if they are caught with a smart phone then fine the parents based on income. This whole mess is stupid. It’s not even about protecting the kids. If it was then there’d be a huge list of people in power in prison right now.

      Social media is a giant can of worms that people have just been avoiding addressing for a long time.
      I don’t think forcing people to provide ID to use social media is the answer, but social media definitely should have been under far more scrutiny from the moment Cambridge Analytica made their debut.
      It really has the power to train people to believe what you want them to. The depths of its impact on society are difficult to even comprehend.
      I feel like this is just a tokenistic attempt to deal with a huge fucking issue. That I don’t really have a solution for either, apart from way stricter oversight and transparency for people operating social media.
      The fact that zuck has so much power and influence in this world because he made a website for rating college girls is fucking.
      Depressing.

      The list of countries in force is a mix of questionable countries that want to control you and progressive countries that want to control you although this time for good reasons®.

      Allready seen some anonymous online id verification thing on our government messaging app (it’s just where we get our mail like taxes and stuff, so it’s not on an email) weird that it’s there and not on the id app, context, im from denmark

      As a colourblind person, I appreciate the legend with list of countries otherwise I couldn’t tell just from the map.

      Just came here to say that having a amber then green then red colour scale is mighty confusing. I think you need to decide whether ‚regulation ‚ or ‚ no regulation ‚ is your desired end state and work back from that. Yours, data scientist…

      Wouldn’t it be better (or, ‚more beautiful‘) for PASSED to be represented by a colour closer to IN FORCE’s green, such as the orange used by IN PROGRESS? And then for IN PROGRESS, a sightly-less close colour such as yellow? The way it is now they seem contrasting.

      Anyways. For the Canadians here, the government hasn’t really gone tooooo far into a proper age-verification bill, though, the Liberals have a majority and support for it seems high. [CBC Article for further reading](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/social-media-ai-minimum-age-9.7164902) but tldr after the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting in BC (where the shooter talked with ChatGPT a bunch, and whose messages were not flagged by OpenAI) they’re discussing a new bill which would make social media and chatbots have minimum ages necessary to be used.

      Miller (the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture) said that ‚previous iterations of the bill overreached‘, and despite the majority the Liberals would try and ‚look for support from other parties‘. I’d hope this means they don’t try and rush it nor (with the majority) try and kiss-ass to create a bill that does fuck all to protect and just ends up leaking our personal info everywhere but you never know.

      [Another CBC article which talks more about the previous iterations of the bill (at the end)](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-youth-social-media-ai-ban-9.7180358)

      Would be interesting to also add laws on age verification for app stores and operating systems (e.g. Brazil)

      and countries where major tech companies have implemented it without being forced by the letter of the law (e.g. mandatory age verification for iOS in UK)

      Shit like this almost makes me believe in conspiracy theories. Why did suddenly every country decide to lose its mind in the same way?
