    Call me old, but I don’t think that under 16s should be allowed on a dating site even without an social media ban.

      So far, I thought this was the norm. Dating apps are basically all 18+ here, although I did encounter kids posing as adults while I still used them

      I agree.

      Should a government be forcing this? I don’t think so. Especially if that requires providing personal information to the internet to enforce compliance.

        Who but the government would enforce the law? Because if there is none, there is no reason for the dating app to self-limit their customer base. They might write “you have to be 18+ to use this app” in the T&Cs, but nobody could held them responsible if school kids hang out there with fictional birthdays.
