    In particular, the rule will require online platforms to confirm the ages of users before showing them algorithmically-curated feeds or sending them notifications at night.

    Oh, no! Notifications at night! Here’s an idea: Charge your kids’ devices (phone, tablet, laptop, what have you) in the kitchen so they don’t have them in bed. I don’t understand why we need laws to address shitty parenting that don’t begin to touch on shitty parenting.

    Because it’s working out so well across the pond.
