I feel like not enough people are kicking up a fuss about the loss of online spaces specifically for kids. Flash games, MMOs like Club Penguin, forums with human moderators who kept everything in order... all of these used to be super common and a lot of people online started out on those. Nowadays kids are diving straight into the deep end that is social media because there's nothing specifically for them anymore.
I'm not saying that bringing back kids' games and forums would magically fix the issue of online safety, but it would be heaps more helpful than banning them from social media or requiring everyone to hand over their ID to access websites.

this is not my screenshot
discord has been pushing its new uk online safety act changes early for some users. this screenshot belongs to a 32 year old who used discords built in face scanner to verify their age. the scanner said they were 11 years old, and instantly suspended the account, with no option to try again or appeal, and the suspension will automatically end in 2027, when they’re “old enough” to use discord.
DO NOT SCAN YOUR FACE TO VERIFY YOUR AGE
if you really want to verify your age, use a different option available. don’t trust the face scan.

don't say "2010's music" and then play something from 2017-2019. that's not 2010's music to me. they're sonically so different from 2010-2016 to me

YouTube is implementing an AI policy that tracks your watch history and determines your age with it. The only way to be able to continue watching the videos you want on YouTube if you've been falsley flagged as a minor by their AI is to give YouTube your government ID. This is being implemented in the US right now. It is essential to rage against this and put YouTube in the fucking ground if they continue with it—that may be the only way to make them backtrack. But damn isn't that hard to do when responding to this announcement with a polite but negative comment flags you for violating community guidelines and bans you from even posting it?

i do appreciate how thoroughly the obnoxious tumblr liberalism of starting a scoldwhine with "hi, [identity group] here," was destroyed by "white person here, i jerk off to the goombas from super mario"
