Do y'all think ID verification will soon be mandatory across all mainstream social media?
I can definitely see it ramping up even more than it already has. There may be one or two holdouts that distinguish themselves for not doing so, at least temporarily, though.
I expect it to mandated by law to make accounts with any online service within the next 5 years. I'm working on a full transition away from the few things i still use that need accounts with those types of corporate services now. The main thing left to do being email.
Will be in australia. By december all social media sites have to delete all accounts of people under 16 and the only way to do that is for them to ID people. Supposedly its to "protect children" but they aren't calling for age verification on porn sites so its pretty obvious its all about tracking what people say and do online.
I've also heard that sites like YouTube will implement AI systems to estimate users' ages based on the content they view, and apply restrictions accordingly, such as blocking the viewing of videos deemed problematic, and an ID will be needed to prevent these restrictions. But considering that the majority of YouTube's "kid's content" is either brainrot or ElsaGate content, this will more likely be used to silence opposition, such as coverage on Israel's genocide against Palestinians.
