Adults who don't verify their ages would also lose access to their social media accounts from next year, under the legislation.

Is this out of genuine concern about mental health?

Is this about preventing ""grooming""?

Is this the ruling class seeking to curb and kill social media altogether? We've seen fears expressed from some in the ruling class that it needs to go.

    I think at the very least this is doing a good thing for a bad reason.

    We've all seen the brainworm slop that Social Media serves up. I don't think adults should be subjected to that shit, much less kids.

      I think their fear is that social media is responsible for the significant spread of progressive views, especially with zoomers being so lgbt, and that they think the inevitable continuation of this is eventually going to lead to socialism. Ergo, it must be killed or controlled.

      At least some of them are viewing the "woke mind virus" as a path to communism and fighting social media as if it is the cause of it for that reasoning.
