@avoca This is retarded. Not only does this rob children of valuable social interactions, it can only be implemented by using nasty age verification technologies.
If you want to limit the actual harm, then ban Facebook and X and any other platform that pulls eyeballs to right wing propaganda using ad money and algorithmic garbage.
Yup, totally agree.
FYI - to subscribe to Substack in Australia you have to age verify. This is done, for Australian subscribers, by a subsidiary of Palantir.
So, the US intelligence services have a KYC record of EVERY Substack subscriber in Australia.
And there is no way to verify the validity of this statement, so AFAIC its true, its much safer that way.
