Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media
(www.euractiv.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Enforcing it is virtually impossible.
You are correct, but i'd like to expand a bit on how it could be solved.
It requires that all major social networks use BankID for all traffic from Norway.
Bypassing it would require a VPN, which is a simple hurdle.
But the major win here is that parents will enforce this. Parents can point to this law and say that they have to be old enough. As long as enough parents enforce this law and the VPN requirement is there, then it will probably be effective enough
And a 14 year old kid using a VPN is probably not the target audience for a lot of the worst abuse.
Not saying it won't happen, but a drastic reduction is better than none.
