Great way to absolve social media platforms of any responsibility to moderate content.

"What do you mean we need to moderate our content? There's no kids on our platform, so moderation means limiting adults' free speech"

16 does not define "kids".

I recall going to a Subway in TX some years ago and making some slightly risque remarks - we are Brits (ooh er missus). We were mildly scolded that "minors are present". The minor in question was 20 years old, we were told.

So today but at least kids get spared? Jokes aside, we do need moderation of digital platforms but it feels like in the US political landscape at least, that would do more harm that good.
