Next up: Ban social media for people over 15
So all of the French people on social media will have to be exactly 15 years old?
Second!
Yall gonna hate but I’m curious how this plays out positively even with the negative consequences.
It won’t because to actually enforce that you are going to have to require social media sites to literally do ID checks.
Do you honestly trust any social media company to not suffer a hack
Yep. This is a parenting issue. Not a government one.
I didn’t say there wouldn’t be negative consequences. In fact, I said there would be. I’m just curious what positive could come from it.
And the answer is none, that’s how bad the negatives are, any hypothetical you can think of is defecto nullified by the negative
We’ll see. That’s a really closed-minded opinion.
Yes so closed minded. How dare one have concern about privacy, data security, and low trust in government and corporations known to sell your data
It’s closed minded when you believe that the two are not mutually exclusive.
Because they more or less are?
Did I miss somewhere that the silicon corporates actually do a good job in respecting privacy and keeping kids away from problematic content?
The law in EU says that they can only store the data they actually need which in this case would be none of it. You check if user is over 15 and create the account or not.
Or course you’re going to say you can’t trust social media companies with that and that for sure they will still store everything but they already can do that. They have peoples’ credit cards, addresses, phone numbers and emails. What’s new here?
My point is, if you don’t want social media companies to have your data you don’t create accounts there. If you do have an account there sharing your date of birth is not an issue.
As for anonymity I say fuck it. We’re living in the age of bots and misinformation. Verifying that only real people can post things online will be a benefit for society.
