1. clow law. most kids dnt get social media till 14 -15 anyways the ones that get it before then their parents were never gonna care enough to follow the law anyways. Mom can i get instagram. no james the law says u ahve to be 15. But mom u smoke crack and im gonna jut use ur id to get it anyways v

2. They’ve realised they can track everyone’s on internet through this easy law.

   It’s quite smart as if you argue against it you like nonces and hate children.

3. I’d rather see governments support parents more so they have the energy to actually parent their children than taking authoritarian measures like this.

   Assuming that it’s actually about protecting children.

4. If it was about protecting children, then they’d force the Social Media websites to expose their algorithms to scrutiny, and even give parents control over said algorithms for their kids. In that way, we’d make Social Media sites safer for everyone, and not just kids. Let’s not ignore the fact that impressionable people come in all ages, especially the older demographics.

5. Good on France for seeing how poorly this is working in Australia where kids literally don’t even get prompted and straight up copying it.

   Very good lawmaking all around.
