Honestly Idk how this is gonna work in practice but so long as it's non invasive I'm pretty cool with the idea on paper. Mainly because teenagers online are just God damn annoying lol. If I have to start doing things like registering devices or providing documentation I'll definitely be against it but not even for privacy reasons that shit just sounds tedious as fuck to do and I'm lazy. If getting rid of the kids is more annoying than them being here I'm against it. That's my selfish smooth brain take hahaha
I just want existing accounts grandfathered in. These kinds of bans are more effective at reducing uptake than getting people off the platforms, and more importantly I don't want to do more paperwork.
I can't find my source for the fact that existing accounts won't be grandfathered in.
