It's good to see that many countries are working on lesiglation to protect children and teens against this, since the companies clearly aren't trying.
The problem is when government's solutions go through identifying everyone and collaterally tracking their actions.
In the same way parents can be blamed for not keeping their children safe around guns/alcohol/drugs, they should also be blamed for not keeping the children out of digital dangers, and keep mandatory age verifications out of here.
That’s pretty much the whole purpose of government and if it isn’t doing that then it has abdicated its primary responsibility.
American tech corps act like cigarette companies but we're still at the point where banning them for kids is considered weird, fringe and even dangerous. Crazy.
