In principle, banning kids from social media is a good thing. You still have to worry about the teachers, but not giving every freak on the planet access to try to groom your kids should be common sense.
The real problem is the expectation that adults will be compelled to prove they're not children by exposing their identities, which will be a tool to suppress and punish dissent.
Pretty much this. It is pretty much indisputable that social media is heavily detrimental to child development. But, this type of thing will also result in greatly increased govt monitoring of people online, and corresponding decreases in anonymity.

Although social media IS awful for children, I'm concerned that this an attempt to isolate them from increasingly uncensored platforms so there's nobody to counter said teachers, or government propaganda.
Countering said propaganda is a (sadly necessary) job for the parents of course, but many don't do a terrific job of that, and a lot can go on that parents don't even know about.
I think we should assume that 13 yr olds will continue to use social media. Whatever they (the government) do has an alternate purpose. Like the other guys said, in this case, probably tracking adults. What you say is also the point because they want to censor and promote degeneracy and then expose the children.
For the companies, this is a massive liability problem too. Either they put in more checks (and have to guard the info to much higher standard based on local laws) or they risk getting fucked when someone lies (lying? on the internet? who would do that?).
I'm not sure this will end well either way, and of course it's a retarded lefty government pushing it.
It's worse if it's anything like what the UK Government is proposing. Government photo ID will not be enough, you will also need to prove that the person attached to that ID is using the device at any time. That will require biometric data or preferably for them, facial recognition. Ofcom has stated that photo ID alone will not be sufficient as proof of identity when that device is being accessed.
We were also told to not be paranoid because this would only be used for adult websites. Then it spread to social media if Governments get their way. The UK wants to go even further - anything not "safe for kids" or has any age restriction (that is effectively everything bar pre-school websites) so this requirement will potentially affect everyone on virtually every website. This one included as it's accessible in the UK.
For anyone saying "just use a VPN", Governments are planning to ban them outright.
Then that means adults will also be discouraged from using social media to rot their brains if they want to avoid all of the surveillance. Sounds like a "don't threaten me with a good time" situation to me.
This has nothing to do with protecting children. This is about two things: 1) preventing children from accessing dissident influencers and 2) destroying anonymity for dissidents online. If the social media space was still wall-to-wall anti-white, feminist, lgbtq propaganda, no one would be trying to “protect the children” from it. And there’s no way to enforce this ban without destroying online anonymity for everyone.
It's much more likely the general trend of each new generation becoming gradually more distrustful of establishment institutions and narratives. The worship of Israel is an integral part of the Boomer Truth Regime, but it's a small part.
The push towards regulating social media is about governments and Old Guard power-brokers trying to reassert narrative control, and to the extent that older generations are in favor of it, their motivation is the fear and discomfort they increasingly feel as everything they once believed to be true is held up to scrutiny and ridicule by their own children and grandchildren.
Which is hilarious and infuriating at the same time. They will attack the men in their communities in a manner similar to how women like to go at each other ignoring the real pedophiles are in the schools and the government. All while ignoring their pre teen girls, who haven't even developed yet, are wearing the tightest yoga pants known to man preparing for their Tiktok thot lifestyles.
At what age in the military do they get trained to drive? Because that seems like a very obvious bit of idiocy at still not letting them rent a car until 21.

Porn is not allowed for people under 18. Yet everyone starts watching it at the age of 10 or something
Lmao, speak for yourself wtf. i didn't even know what sex was when i was 10. But your point is taken that there are a lot of people under 18 that watch porn
I don't know what JIDF think they are succeeding in, with all these ridiculous reports, besides letting everyone know that they are very easily butthurt and hate free speach. .
Besides the amount of predators online (i went down that rabbit hole years before pizzagate, its strange how the police forces of 10 different countrys can disable a piracy scheme, they cant stop these pedophile groups from coordinating on public platforms like facebook, instagram, x, etc. I would hope musk banned all these people, but I aint got much faith.
The amount of data being collected by the companies on each individual person is massive. Children are easily brainwashed, this is why most regimes through history will slaughter the men, but they will keep the women and children, most of the time. Do we really want these companys hitting our children with targetted ads and selective posts? Which brings me to my third point.
Without even reading the story, I can guess why they are doing it.
Social media is trying to force, the girls especially, to be something they cant be.
According to new CDC data [9.8 MB, 89 pages] released today, nearly 3 in 5 (57%) U.S. teen girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021—double that of boys, representing a nearly 60% increase and the highest level reported over the past decade.
If I had to guess, its about the depression and suicide.
It's not social media, it's parents. Plenty of kids are fine on social media because they have strong parents to teach them how interact with the world.
Parents are just aloof and busy with their selfish hedonism to actually raise their children.

Agreed. Parents have relegated their responsibility to iPhones and tablets.
Internet use is the only method of socialization people have left and ID will make ban evading impossible, this isn't just the death of free speech but the deaht of all speech.

"Won't someone PLEASE think of the children!?"
Same old playbook for "the greater good." All Common Wealth countries (AUS, NZ, CAN, UK) are free-range prisons.
So is the US. We enjoy greater rights here, but if you exercising them ever became a serious threat to the government they would strip them away.
A gilded cage is still a cage.
Nobody is kicking in my door for posting memes. I can pray in public and say outright that immigrants are a problem without being arrested.
I'd say America remains a much, much better nation than most. Enough that those immigrants are willing to risk their lives to come here.
They will if they want to, they'll just declare it 'misinformation' - https://intellectualtakeout.org/2023/03/arrest-meme-defense-ricky-vaughn/

Yeah my guess is antisemitism is rising in the youth via social media and they want to shut it down

Now they can finally implement the communist social credit score that they wet themselves over.

This is almost never just for the kids.
It's always for some other purpose. Like adults now have to prove who they are, so you can no longer have anonymity.
Oh is it people questioning Israel that led to old folk wanting age restrictions on social media?

Correct.
Just one of 31 laws rushed through by BOTH parties... so they can start their 9½ week vacation tomorrow.
Its a mix between that and muh ped0s. The latter is easily sold to tradcons.
Which is hilarious and infuriating at the same time.

They also can't rent a car until they're 21 but are encouraged to sign up for the military to die for corporations and far-away countries at 17.
At what age in the military do they get trained to drive? Because that seems like a very obvious bit of idiocy at still not letting them rent a car until 21.
It's not about kids, it's about snuffing anonymity online. Now everyone must use a government id to go online.
So many “content removed” posts, about 1/3 of total post.
Wonder what they possibly could have said?
You can use unscored.arete.network to reveal censored comments.
Probably the pedojeet, if I had to guess.

I like how games are exempt. They didn't want a mutiny.
This isn’t necessarily about the jooz.
This is another step to destroying anonymity on the Internet because now you’ll HAVE to verify yourself on social media.
How easy is it to circumvent this with a VPN?
Well, there's still online games
Alternative title: Australia requires ID for internet.
How is this even enforceable?
Post Reported for: Rule 12 - Disinformation
I'm not sure what's supposed to be the disinfo here. "Turning against Israel"? That's mostly an opinion statement.
Is anyone alleging that this is a fake screenshot?
I don't know what JIDF think they are succeeding in, with all these ridiculous reports, besides letting everyone know that they are very easily butthurt and hate free speach. .
Prolly needed to be done.

They're merely using this as a guise to remove anonymity from the internet.
Thats what a ped0 would say, into the woodshipper!
