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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  13. 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.
