You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

@Em0nM4stodon "but my friends are there"

get more, better friends

@codinghorror
Change “friends” to i.e. “preschool parent group” or any other IRL ingroup, and try again.

Social connections are hard to migrate to alternative platforms.

Tried preschool parent group and other IRL friend groups. Way worse than the friends in my phone.
