This is the future those who push for age verification want for us.
Mishel Z@Gargron
I consider this type of age verification to be very negligent and pointless.
It would be more important to teach children how to use social media responsibly and how to recognize fake news and the like from a very early age – YES, IN SCHOOL.

☭ Father Hardstone@mischi2000 @Gargron Just leave parenting to parents, the world does not need 'nanny states'.

Yes, I agree with you there, but I also feel I must and want to hold politicians and governments accountable. Proper legal frameworks must be established for large social networks. It must be possible to hold these networks accountable much more easily and quickly.

@mischi2000 @Gargron Depends on what kind of accountability we are asking, some of the 'parental concerns' remind me of the Satanic Panic, #heavymetal scare of the 80s when the PMRC (Parent Music Resource Centre) in the US started a witch-hunt against musicians because some parents decide to sue Ozzy Osbourne for 'Suicide Solution', Judas Priest for 'Better by You Better than Me' (which was a cover of another band, they did not even wrote the song)
No social network can filter out creeps !
@harib_murshidi
No, of course there shouldn't be a witch hunt.
But there must be a way to stop bullying, self-harm, fake profiles, and things like that as quickly as possible.
Only then will social networks be safe for young people.
And believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
It should be clear to everyone that you can't filter out the weird people and creeps.
But you can create other conditions.

What exactly is a 'fake profile' ? When the internet was introduced to kids earlier on, it was specifically considered the most important rule that you should not divulge any real information and put anything like that on the internet and now we are going into the opposite direction !
And if somebody does harass someone at some social media network, they are responsible... even at this place some creep can creep in and try to doxxx or blackmail someone, i

Yeah, and the dotcom-crash was caused in large part by the inability for advertisers to target who was seeing the ads.
So the web2.0 got advertisements tied to profiles that were linked if not to ID, then at least to a large dossier of likes, dislikes, and spending habits.
Well, I don't understand it... you are saying that is that a good thing or a bad thing, I certainly don't want anybody to track my habits and have no interest in getting any 'localised' ads ! 😐

It's either or, depending on do you see yourself as making money, or as someone to be made money out of.
I don't want to be either of those things, 🤷
@harib_murshidi
There are all sorts of fake profiles, ranging from fake profiles to outright impersonations.
All I can tell you is that it cost my parents tens of thousands of euros in court and legal fees to have a profile deleted on meta-platforms that impersonated me in the worst possible way.
I was 13 years old at the time and suddenly exposed to things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I don't want to say any more about it now.
