An Angus Reid survey says three-quarters of more than 4,000 respondents are in favour of a ban like the one in Australia, where youth under 16 are prevented from setting up accounts on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Threads.

So how would any proposed laws be enforceable without some sort of ID verification (ie. Age verification) in place?

Or are we talking a simple "confirm you're not a robot button", but for age? Similar to what porn sites have asking if you're over 18.

Or would you prefer everyone including yourself need to upload something like a drivers license to access websites... Like Lemmy for example?
