1. But how will the tech oligarchs indoctrinate yo kids now?

2. Yup! Because when I was 17 I definitely didn’t click yes I’m 18 on porn sites…

   How hard do you think it is for a 12 year old to go: date of birth? Sure! 01.12.2009…

3. Future generations will be much better for it

4. He went on to say: when I was 15 I was meeting my 40 year old wife

5. Narrator voice: this won’t work

6. Good, make it 16 and implement mandatory media literacy classes in school from ages 12-16.

7. Finally a sensible fucking idea.

8. Smart!

9. In that case, ban it for those over 65 as well.

10. They can’t even enforce the current age limit.

11. Smart.

12. First all under age French riot eminent…

13. Very good move imo

14. This is such a great move but honestly, this should be anyone under 18.

15. I like it

16. Make it from 18

17. Next do 15 and older…. (I fully get the irony that I am responding on Reddit).

18. Think over 50 is a better place to start

19. People act like propaganda didn’t exist before social media

20. French here: this is meaningless, they have no way of enforcing this, nothing will change.

21. Please EU follow suit.

22. Finally! Everyone needs to do this. Social media is absolutely horrible for mental health, but especially for children.

23. Quick, turn 15 faster!!!

24. Good luck with that. Every parent ever knows that saying kids can’t do something ALWAYS stops them from doing it…../s

25. They’re gonna hate it but it’s probably a positive thing

26. “All of these teens are making fun of me from being beat up by an 80 year old woman. I’ll show them!” 

27. Although they’ll really need to ban anyone that *acts* under the age of 15 from social media – and that, I fear is gonna be impossible.
