There are many reasons why I'm against age verification and social media bans for teens.

Youth is part of society and their voices should be heard. When we take a look on how they use social media, we can see they use them for expressing themselves, mobilizing for important causes such as climate action and fair wages.

Imposing restrictions on young people is not the way to protect them. In fact, it's taking their right to freedom of expression and speech. It also harms society as young people very often have smart and accurate ideas on how to make society better.

Another reason is that to verify age, you need to collect ID. This exposes people to risks such as exploitation, identity theft, fraud, scams, etc. Breaches are happening, we saw many severe breaches in the past. Making the use of ID documents mandatory for age verification would make life easier for cybercriminals.

There are more reasons.

Yes, we need to act to protect children and fight against child abuse. There is no doubt about it. But what we need to do it in a reasonable, safe and transparent way that is not cutting young people from social media, or exposes people to risks to their privacy.

The article #ActivityPub, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly by Dominik Chrástecký highlights a number of examples of #ProtocolDecay, a topic I also address in the call-for-reflection article Grassroots fediverse evolution ..

I just found 2 possible more possible examples that I raise genuine questions about, see..

Do NOT create out-of-bound custom and app-centric mechanisms that define new and expected behavior on protocol level.

People look at the number of boosts and favorites and think that means something, when they could be bots. We must learn to discount that and just instead ask who of the people we trust/follow shared and/or liked it. Maybe we could show an icon that made this distinction. The Kevin Bacon stat.

Doing the former on a decentralized network empowers the exact people and systems we are trying to get away from.
