to be honest... how about instead of the #ageverification we forbid use of the manipulative #algorithms instead?
I don't see myself #doomscrolling #mastodon daily for hours (technically I can, of course), because I can see all I follow in less then 30 minutes.
So, instead blaming kids for their curiosity and urge to belong to online communities, let's fight #cybercrime #exploitation and #AlgorithmicManipulation .
Here, nothing new under the sun. Simple and doable.
