If these laws were about integrity in social media, there would be disclosure laws for paid time or content creation, disclosure of who pays for ads or time of creators. This would equally protect adults and kids instead of dubious age laws
Nothing. It's a cancer on all of society, but modern societies generally agree that it's desirable to engage in a reasonable standard of protection for children while also allowing adults to engage in vice or undesirable behaviors if they so desire.
