Age gating is about surveillance capitalism, not kids.

in reply to evacide • • •One thing I've never understood about these age bans. If these sites are so dangerous that we need to be older, why don't we just make those sites accountable to do better
From what I've seen, most people don't get smarter as they age - they seem to become more stupid. Just ban any site that we think age restrictions will fix.

in reply to evacide • • •Government was perfectly happy with children using social media, until something made them unhappy with children using social media.
That thing was mass protests and school strikes, organised by children, against climate inaction by governments.

It was a complete failure.

in reply to evacide • • •A failing regulation justifies increasing the level of regulation. If your goal is online surveillance rather than 'think of the children' then this is an excellent outcome.
