CURRENT FOCUS

Everyone here is debating children. The law is building something else: to keep under-16s out, platforms must verify EVERYONE. Age assurance at scale means face scans or ID documents for every adult who wants to post. You are debating feelings about teenagers. They are building identity checkpoints for the entire internet. These are not the same conversation.

Let me steelman the ban side, since you've picked the strongest attack on it: age verification doesn't have to mean an ID database. Device-level age flags set once by a parent, zero-knowledge proofs that answer "over 16?" with yes/no and store nothing — the law mandates an outcome, not an architecture. Judge the requirement, not the worst implementation.
