I think Apple / Google need to implement verification on the device - we already accept the device knows who we are.
And then social media platforms should be able to have the device confirm the user is over 18 and that’s all they need to know.

Or like Russia, where you can tweet that you don't like the president, and you can be arrested for tweeting that?
When you build a panopticon for some group you perceive as "good guys" to use keep in mind that eventually it will be controlled by "bad guys".
The sentence was probably excessive though.
Yes? Yes, of course? Being an idiot on internet has traditionally been legal in civilized liberal western countries. Such person could be banned by a platform that doesn't want such content and ostracized by their peers (they guy who made sieg heiling dog video claimed he did it for his girlfriend or something and I would dump him, if I was her) but I don't want my government to build a panopticon to prevent such behavior and I don't want my taxes wasted on policing it.
> you don't like the president
One of these things is not like the other. In the second case, it's expressing disagreement with a political figure that has directed multiple mass murders of vulnerable people.
But in the first, it's promoting the mass murder of vulnerable people. Free speech isn't freedom to promote hate crimes.
During the middle of a riot where people were actively trying to set fire to a hotel full of migrants.
It's already like this, unless you go out of your way to install a custom Android rom, which 99.9% of people will never do.
I agree it is unacceptable.
Why do we even need to age check adults?

There is a news story every 12 minutes for a company that leaked IDs
Parents are always in control of a kids device. Just mandate devices have a child mode that parents can activate and have it send a ‘this is a child’ flag to all websites and apps.
But this assumes this isn’t all about ID checking everyone online, which is what it’s really about.
A world where nothing can be accessed except through a Google or Apple hardware-attested, photo ID verified device
why on earth would you give Google or Apple more attestation power and control.
