A company contracted by the government to assess technologies for verifying the ages of online users says it can be done privately, robustly and effectively.

    Produce studies and I swear to god if it’s that one where they say kids are scroiling Instagram for 9 hours a day when they report using it as a messenging application I will reach through the screen and strangle you.

    Legislation should not be based on vibes ffs. I think Mark Zuckerburg should be hung in a public square and skinned alive for the evil he has wrought with shit like aiding genocide but there is not sufficient evidence that social media, which covers everything from usenet to lemmy to Instagram to youtube, causes harms warranting age based bans. This is a world where we allow coca cola and factory farming, “it’s probably bad for some people some of the time” is clearly not the bar for criminalisation.

        Produce studies saying to say it’s not harmful, or be quiet.

        My dude, that is not how epistemology works. You cannot prove a negative empirically.

            When you get to university take a couple of electives in philosophy, including philosophy of science.
