That's true but has anyone studied the good things that have happened from younger people being able to find community or other positive aspects?
Either way the solution again is not age gating, it's real meaningful data privacy laws that if enacted would have a huge effect on many companies today.
- XorNot 3mo agoHow do data privacy laws address the significant number of voters who are being told and believe that social media use is causing issues for children and want something done about it? This is exactly what I mean: you've rocked up and started talking about something else entirely.
- akmiller 3mo agoI think you misunderstood me, I'm saying strong (very strong) data privacy laws make age gating unnecessary. This solution has far reaching benefits across all age groups.
- XorNot 3mo agoOkay: How? How do data privacy laws prevent a 14 year old from being cyber bullied online or consuming influencer content destroying their self-esteem? This is (in the most politically neutral way I can put it) what people who want social media age checks are talking about.
