France is planning to age-gate social media: https://reclaimthenet.org/france-social-media-ban-under-15-digital-id-age-verification
Big tech's algorithms are bad for the entire society: adults as well as children, and THAT is where legislation is needed. Europeans need more privacy, not less. #digitalsovereignity #privacymatters

@iode it's absurd when you think about it. Can't let children use social media in case they self harm, or use it to hurt others. But it's okay to let adults do the same... Social media needs regulation for everyone. At the moment companies are happy to promote dangerous messages because they make lots of money and take no responsibility. I don't claim to know how to do it, but the big firms need controlling somehow.
