If you have been wondering about the effectiveness of the social media ban of under 15 year olds, this study got you :)

lying about age on verification prompts (57%),

that's roughly the same percentage of americans who can see a genocide live streamed to the palm of their hands every day and still won't accept that it's a genocide.
