Social media needs regulation for everyone, and I’m deeply concerned about the impact of ID verification on the open web, but at the same time, given the clear harms, it’s hard to argue with people attempting some form of regulation, even if limited and imperfect.
The obvious solution is a government age verification service. Platform age verification is just more data collection, I highly doubt it will even keep kids off social media.
