Good for the bigtech fighting these laws. Parents should be protecting their children.
If governments want to get involved:
- Educate parents about the dangers online and what to do about it.
- It could regulate the addictive features of social media. The result would be a safer internet for everyone without anyone having to KYC themselves.
- If #2 isn't an option, force all computer manufactures to add in parental controls that automatically turn off when the user gets to the age of maturity.
I have doubts if any privacy companies are going to advocate for age verification. The very idea is anti-privacy.
