>”I can see a lot of merit in that,” he told the German dpa news agency in remarks published on Friday.
>”I consider the question of an age restriction to be more than justified,” he added.
what would all those online experts do then?
Yep, I agree. we need a generation that’s more aware of internet infrastructure, cyber security, privacy and anonymization. We won’t get it unless boomers and their replacements are as annoying and as invasive as possible handling digital age problems that they know fuck all about.
Of course. We need to ban tobacco, vapes, fireworks, meat, alcohol, cars and a dozen other “normal” things, why not this too
Please social media AND dating app for adults too!
Uhm… can we add ban for social media for elderly as well? And when we‘re at it, please let the elderly vote no more. Voting for a party out of pure habit is not going so well lately.
Considering that most of the platforms have minimum ages of 16 (13 with parental control), I only see the issue with them not enforcing their own TOS.
Yay. Every social account will be linked to a real ID and everyone will be on their best behaviour. Peak democracy!
Yes please. And while your at it: no more children in front of the camera for influencers. It’s horrible.
I support this, but it also needs to apply to boomers.
To anyone who agrees with this idea, you should consider how exactly this is going to be enforced.
Because this is essentially going to force all adults to connect their ID to their social media accounts, which is something that the state could abuse in a million different ways.
Just one more tool to take away our privacy and turn this country into a surveillance state. No thanks.
I see merit to this minister being kicked out of office
I think it’s idiotic. Droves of boomers get radicalized by fake news on Facebook everyday and yet have the temerity to say their children can’t handle social media. They will encounter it eventually. I’d rather my kids grow up with it responsibly rather than have something thrown at them as adults that they are not prepared for.
In general, I think it’s a good idea, but the problem is that the only way to make sure this is enacted, is by demanding ID from EVERYONE in order to use social media.
And that’s when it becomes a problem.
I would never freaking ever upload my ID to any social media site. Not in the age of online scams, data leaks, identity theft, etc.
