Resistere ai controlli sull’età “pericolosi e socialmente inaccettabili” per i social media, avvertono gli scienziati

It’s easy – any age check that is not from my government and the app goes bye-bye

Fuck social media ban under 16!

The solution is to disband social media companies and their respective platforms. Social media hasn’t contributed to the good of society in any capacity. Forcing ID checks, age verification, and restrictions does nothing to actually contain and/or regulate these insidious platforms.

The social media experiment was a dud. Move on.

Here’s what it says: “Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.”

Why? ““We share the concerns about the negative effects that exposure to harmful content online has on children,” the academics write. But current plans “would require all users to prove their age … A robust age verification system would require checking “government-issued IDs with strong cryptographic protection for every single interaction with the service,” the academics write. Such infrastructure is not only hard to build and maintain on a global scale, but would add friction in services, meaning many providers would refuse to install age checks.Using technologies like cryptography to solve the problem risks centralizing tools in the hands of the few companies that can deploy them at scale, the experts warn.”

Friendly reminder that the Heritage Foundation is one of the actors behind the big push for mandatory age verification.

And I personally agree that children shouldn’t have access to social media, but that goal shouldn’t be achieved with tools that can eliminate anonymity or be used by malicious governments to restrict access.
