Comment on Ofcom outlines ways social media can verify ages of users
Tweak@feddit.uk 1 week agoThis is exactly the issue with how they’re dealing with this. Social media sites aren’t just harmful to children, they’re harmful to everyone. Instead of regulating the people who access them, the government should be regulating the social media sites themselves - specifically their intentionally gamed algorithms.

Yep. Not just the gamed algorithms, but also the lack of fact checking and moderators. All the guardrails removed, and then algorithms pushing unhealthy engagement.
