       Estonia is correct. The responsibility to keep children safe falls on adults and platform operators, not on the kids. If social media isn't safe for children, it's not safe for adults either, because the safety this is about isn't about the content, but of what the platforms do with our data.https://thenextweb.com/news/estonia-eu-child-social-media-ban-opposition

       @osma And another article failing to properly mention that an age ban affects *everyone*. Also you, adult, will need to prove your age.

       @DePemig @osma Exactly, especially as there’s currently no measure to prove age that can’t be turned into digital infrastructure for authoritarianism easily.  It’d be ineffective at protecting children but potentially effective at stifling free speech.

       Here's a good longer piece explaining why age verification solves nothing for children's safety, puts all of us at risk, violates fundamental privacy protections and lets the bad actors, "social" ad platforms off the hook.
