  • My opinion: no. Children under certain age have no capacity to detect malice or disinformation when interacting with others, especially adults and algorithms bent on harm.

    Hell, most adults probably aren’t. But as long as a child has a guardian, it’s the guardian’s responsibility to teach, guide and protect.

    Letting a child lose into the internet is harmful, just like letting one out into a city.

    I don’t think age verification is a particularly good tool to enforce that, but I don’t know what is, on a societal level.

    I do agree with the stated goals tho.
