There's no reason why children should be using social media. I support legislation that will bar them from it. They need to go touch grass.
Most kids are banned from social media anyway. But it means nearly every kid in the US has broken the CFAA, committing a felony typically given a twenty-five year prison sentence. I don't know how that will play out in the EU, but we really don't like putting our kids in prison for creating social media accounts on false pretenses.
Or their parents, for that matter. Especially since we work all our adults so much they have neither time nor energy to parent.
Blanket solutions are not going to fix this.
Not like Twitter officially has an +18 rating in Germany...
Just checked:
Why the fuck is Facebook, Instagram and TikTok +12 here?!
Facebook is basically an extremists training ground. Insta and TikTok aint much better >_>
No one is going to prison for creating accounts of websites.
