Age verification is one of the best things that can be done

We’ve been talking about age verification for social media for a long time. I’d scan my ID and make it available upon request, just to comply.

The article comes to us from PC Magazine. The boosted post on Mastodon does have a point, Congress has not done anything about this problem, and with TikTok being such a problem as it reportedly has become, this would be a welcome change.

Here’s the boosted post.

AlmaTy: Boosting Amanda Carson (arush): Oh goody! We’re gonna collectively speedrun the age verification curve! Spoiler alert: working age verification that does what it’s intended to do is very difficult and we already spent 10+ years figuring this out but the idiots in Congress just have to engage in performative bullshit because voters demand performative bullshit. https://www.pcmag.com/news/senate-bill-would-require-social-media-age-verification-for-everyone

The link leads to the article Senate Bill Would Require Social Media Age Verification for Everyone and its worth at least a thought piece.

We’ve talked about this during some of our TSB programs but here’s an article for you all about it.
