Surprised to see so many people on Lemmy in favour of social media. It's horrendous for everybody, adults and children alike. I don't think kids should be on there.

Usually for things like this, I'd be fine with parents handling it and controlling their own kids' access. But social media is too pervasive, you'd turn your kid into an outcast if they didn't have it when 96% of their peers did.

    I would cheer if they banned social media for everyone, but since it's targeted their enforcement mechanism is privacy invasive age verification for everyone else. They couldn't care less about children if they tried, it's all about data collection. Pure and simple.
