    1. > The European Parliament’s Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection has voted to ban social media access for children under 13 across the EU, with access restricted until age 16 without parental consent. The recommendation passed with 32 votes in favour, 5 against and 9 abstentions, pending final approval at next week’s plenary session in Strasbourg, France.

      Does anyone know if this is a non binding recommendation?

      And how will they check for account holder age? By requiring us to inevitably doxx ourselves?

      Just ban iPods and phones for kids under 13 or 16. They dont need it and it wont result in a dataleak. 

    4. Can we instead leave this problem to parents instead of legislators?

      How about banning X, Meta and TikTok all together?

    6. Instead of teaching kids how to be safe on the internet and making social media a safer space which would be tougher and more expensive they slap a band-aid on a gunshot and ban kids from using social media. Kids will get access to social media very easily. I feel like it will be used as an excuse for id verification and banning vpns to “protect kids” instead of actually protecting kids.

      Any social media site or app that will ask me to present my ID can go f… themselves.

      Decline and pay or accept and continue, so I haven’t read this article.

      I don’t think it’s a bad idea in principle, but it’s probably impossible to implement (especially ethically)? I lied about my age to use Facebook when I was younger, so simple stuff like that.

      I don’t think the big social media companies would be down for federation/data sovereignty either (keep data in specific countries only). Kind of need to get a handle on them, but that probably would provoke the annoying orange.

      please explain, does it mean banning content at all, or just banning registration?
