7 in 10 children remain on major social media services? Does this mean they got 30% of the children off of them? I’d say that’s something other than total failure. A start.
But that’s nonsense. If the bills sponsors had been honest about the fact that it would fail for the majority of children, then it would have never passed in the first place. They lied to push it through and now you’re painting a rosy picture around a complete failure.
Show me any single thing anywhere that has ever reduced children on social media by 30%.
Maybe if you could, I’d give a shit what they said about the bill before it passed, or what you think. Since you can’t, I’ll call it, objectively, not rosily, the greatest success of all time in getting children off social media.
And I will still be downvoted here regardless because people hate age verification (with cause). But more than one thing can be true at the same time.
I know schoolteachers who can’t get kids to pay attention to anything for more than 60 seconds, even when it’s literally written on the board in front of them. I don’t like age verification either, but people are burying their heads in the sand about how harmful these applications are to developing brains, and IMHO age verification is the lesser evil.
30% of their kids off of social media is a huge success.

Absolutely right.
I’d love to see 30% reduction in kids being on these platforms globally. That would be a good start.

You sound like a gun supporter in the US: “It’s not perfect and is, therefore, not worth doing at all.”
