I’m asking for public policy ideas here. A lot of countries are enacting age verification now. But of course this is a privacy nightmare and is ripe for abuse. At the same time though, I also understand why people are concerned with how kids are using social media. These products are designed to be addictive and are known to cause body image issues and so forth. So what’s the middle ground? How can we protect kids from the harms of social media in a way that respects everyone’s privacy?

    You also cannot blame parents here. Most of us live in societies where a 13 year old can walk home from school on their own, and if they buy cigarettes, alcohol or visit a strip club then the business owner is in trouble. Business owners should figure out how to provide their products safely.
