That "social media" ban. I wonder how many people will "accidentally" get a notice that they HAVE to verify their age by providing private information & how soon will hackers copy the emails & get ALL our info cause we HAVE to give it or lose all access to our, decades old, social media accounts🤔😒

In any other context, what would we think about some unseen stranger eavesdropping on kids’ conversations to see what they’re talking about?
I missed that Communications Minister Anika Wells said that kids talking on social media about plans to get around the teen ban will be picked up by the platforms as a signal that they are under 16.

Probably because the ban has absolutely nothing to do with child safety whatsoever, it is about limiting and controlling access to information for young people, as well as slowly forcing everyone to adopt a digital ID. The whole thing is an absurd farce that’s going to fail in spectacular fashion.
