I’m all for regulating social media, problem being historically when regulation happens on the internet its for surveillance, not for children. Big tech has lined the pickets of politicians across the globe. Any child can get around UK and US ID laws by finding the right webpage, or using a VPN if they’re a bit older.

I understand where you’re coming from and I wish we lived in a world where that could work. Looking around though, I don’t think it ever will.
