@mhoye@cosocial.ca PS - If you thought this was intended to support online platforms absorbing kids' free time, think again.
The unspoken assumption is always that parents won't take responsibility and set limits. So all arguments about age verification (both pro and con) insist that kids must have an accessible online presence. (Egads!) Parenting is the excluded middle, so its a contest between anarchy and fascism. Guess who always wins that contest...

@tasket@infosec.exchange @mhoye@cosocial.ca if you genuinely believe that what you're positing is anarchism, and that anarchists are the least capable people to fight back against fascists I'd really suggest looking at the history of antifascism and anarchism. Kids have a right to a safer (online) space as everyone does, but paternalism and control never got that for any minority. It would be ideal if children were raised more anarchisticly, with equal say in their environments and free association. "Parental rights" got us into this mess, more control over children by anyone, parent or government, isn't going to liberate children and help them.
