If it was just changing the current 13+ rule to 16+, then I would be all for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) Probably even just less extreme measures by banning accounts that are obviously kids permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 child) Yeah that would pretty much be enough. Allow reporting of underage accounts and ban enough would probably make it boring enough for most to not bother. Yes some will get past, but if the majority are not that kills half the reason to even use the platform in the first place. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago Reporting underage accounts is already a thing.

Personally, I think internet restrictions should be handled by the ISPs and by parents, with default parental controls switched on, disclaimers, and even possible legal threats about allowing your children to access restricted platforms. Possibly have schools enforce the social media ban as well. (Ie, they can punish you for simply owning a social media account) permalink fedilink source parent
