Honestly they’re going to push for these age limits and I don’t even specifically disagree with some websites being not for under X, but verifying with some company’s website and sending them your info sounds awful. I’d much rather use my country’s existing id verification and use that to verify my age with the EU’s age thing and use that for the websites.
nothing a social media ban for <13 years old kids can’t solve, am I right?
There’s a reason why Meta is lobbying for age verification. They need it to be compliant with the law, without the accountability that goes with it.
What they need is an absolutely gigantic non-negotiable fine.
I don’t think it’s just about accountability, I think it’s also about being able to charge advertisers more for verified-human eyeballs.
10% of yearly profit per day of non-compliance.
Profit is far too easy to manipulate. A percentage of gross revenue would really sting.
