Great from the government. Pretending to protect kids. But in reality removes anonymity from the internet.

"Click here if you are over 18"

Click.

"Welcome to Tik Tok."

BAN DEFEATED

No, it'll be upload credit card info or state id.

It’s because they can’t properly punish their speech and actions under that age. So they just ban them outright.

Uh isn't that technically a requirement? People just don't obey it.

The system would require children and their parents to upload identification to prove their age.

No social media, and most websites in general won't sign up <13 yr olds. I don't know if that's a gentlemen's agreement or what.

Ok, seems this will pass because people just read the headline. You're 25 and want to sign up for twitter? Well how do we know you're not 12?please register with your state id to prove you're over 13. That's how it works

Yes, ID is generally the way age is verified. Doesn't mean you have to sign up. I would not give one solitary fuck if FB requires ID because I don't have an account.
