alt Hacker News> the idea of a whitelist enforced on device for local accounts used by children
What’s wrong with making it the social media companies’ problem? If they sign up a child, they get fined. Everyone is then incentivized to come up with solutions. If some of those are shit, restrict them. If they’re not, great.

This already is the threat, and all the solutions social media comes up with are eerily “Age Verification” shaped. They are all going to be shitty.

Because your "solution" creates massive privacy violations unless age verification and age assurance are banned, and result in even larger fines.
