    What scares me is the future of this push.

    In Australia, after their U16 social media ban, 4 in 5 U16’s still accessed social media they were banned from.

    When these bills have little impact b/c minors figure out how to get past age gates, there will be pressure for more draconian measures. It isn’t like the ppl pushing these will shrug and give up. They will demand more and more erosion of local control. More and more corporate lockdown.

      It’s like only criminals have guns, but with age. Endgame is everyone (formally, TLAs have known for a while, but that’s not as chilling for free speech) identifiable online, because fuck anonymous free speech.
