Doesn't the "how to implement" determine whether to implement it? A poor implementation shouldn't be done, but a good implementation could make it simpler for companies to verify the ages of users, limit information passed to companies, offer a quality of life improvement for users.

- synecdoche 2mo agoMany examples of prison for Facebook posts in the UK. Not bad enough?
- toasty228 2mo agoIt's bad, just not "We ArE LiTeRaLlY RuSsIa". But I guess it's the logical conclusion of the last few decades of critical thinking erosion and people not being able to form any kind of nuanced opinion
- toasty228 2mo agoI love how "they" wanting to know your age is a big conspiracy, but zuck &co hiring the best behavioral and addictions scientists to get yours kids into doomscrolling brain rot as soon as possible is a fact of life and we shouldn't do anything about it
- leonvoss 2mo agoThe solution is banning dark patterns at big tech companies, not banning privacy.
