You would think that all of these people pushing for social media bans for kids would be interested in whether or not these bans actually work...but no, I guarantee we will keep on seeing age-gating bills. https://theconversation.com/more-than-80-of-kids-still-using-social-media-despite-ban-new-esafety-report-finds-288808

@evacide@hachyderm.io All of these bills and laws are just action for the sake of it. They don't have any real ideas left.

@evacide@hachyderm.io honestly kids are super smart especially the ones that come from infosec couples. It's really hard to keep stuff like that away from them they will find a way just like we found ways when we were kids. The best we could do is teach kids about opsec and just being careful while they're on the internet in general.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Would not be surprised if the effect is opposite of what is intended, because criminal and/or abusive behavior can't be talked about without implicating yourself. Perfect legislation from a child molesters perspective, if you ask me.
