Nah I don’t want corpos to have even more information on me than they already have.

It’s time for people to finally accept again that you can’t shield kids from anything, especially if it seems forbidden and interesting.

Also if you really wanted to pick a verification age you would have to go with 25+. 18 years old are just legal 17 years old and 20 years are barely out of school and don’t have any experience about anything. 30+ years are stuck in the system and 65+ simply don’t care anymore.

Actually raise the verification age to 99+. No wait just ban social media for everyone, it sucks and is unhealthy, go tough grass or something.

So don’t have an age restriction for tobacco, or alcohol or strip clubs either cuz you can’t shield kids from anything? Got it.

Nice strawman you got there, but we weren’t talking about those topics.

The topic was social media, try to keep up.

It’s absolutely relevant. Go back to your cave if you can’t understand that. It’s 2024. You have to think about digital restrictions the same way you think an out analog.

Just dont give internet connected devices to kids and your problems are solved. I would agree with company being forced to verify the age of a person before signing a internet contract. Don’t give open access to internet to kids it’s just like sending them anywhere in the world alone.
