Social Media ban for children

[NotASlayer]

No, it is part of the law here now. The social media sites have to make sure, by law, they keep children off them by verifying the age of users. I said it was a dumb law when it was suggested but everyone was like oh it wont matter it wont affect you. I cant access reddit until I give them my face or other forms of id. The most ridiculous part is, that I can still read reddit, I just cant post on it, at all, until they have my personal details to verify my age.

I think that is FAR more dangerous to children especially because they are consuming content without engaging with the content and figuring out their own thoughts about the topics. They are literally being fed without a say. Its a stupid way to police the place.

It will take the average internet-raised child approximately 10 seconds to get around this...

Yes, the news says they are using photos of adults, or face filters to get around the verification. I dont like reddit enough to do it. I get downvoted more often than not anyway. Especially when I thought bad bunny was an actual bunny and that Jojo Siwa was a girl child. Downvoted in the hundreds lol. No wonder the search engines are getting stupider when it draws from that place.

Can't help thinking that all these new laws are more about the possibility to track people online than protecting children.
It will be a great tool for any upcoming government that want to suppress unwanted opinions.

We have gone from it being considered a serious crime to read someone's mail to demanding the ability to read peoples conversations in a depressingly short time.

Reddit is full of copy cats! I have been posting on a big brother forum. I went to check the reddit for bits I missed today, and there are multiple posts of mine, word for word, taken from the forum. Other people are copying my forum posts for upvotes! I don't know if they are bots or children.

I don't really care because I think that I am hilarious and I'm glad other people see it in the end. And the forum has timestamps that proves I was funny first.

Bots. It seems to be a major issue on Reddit.
