This will lead to one thing. Mass surveillance. Worse than it already is.

I'm sick of this stupid argument. If you're on commercial social media you're already under mass surveillance FFS 🤦‍♂️ And if you're arguing that now the government will have access to this data, they already do! Social media platforms already know how old you are, they even know when you're taking a shit. It's just not beneficial for them to take any actions to restrict kids from using their platforms because they need the next generation of addicted users.

Kids need parents that dont give them phones and let them browse the internet freely.

Commercial social media platform are multi billion dollar companies that have built some of the most sophisticated AI/ML algorithms to get people addicted to their platforms. Do you really think the average parent has a chance here? Then consider the network affect. If most of the kids at school are socializing online on these platforms then restricting your child's access limits their socializing. Social media access for kids needs to be limited by governments.

Should we require ID to buy kitchen knives too?

I don't think that would be effective at reducing access for minors given knives are readily available in most kitchens.

Have you read this bill? Are you sure your opinions haven't been manipulated by social media companies that have lobbied hard and flown influencers around to speak on their behalf?

Unpopular opinion but I support the intent of this bill. Kids shouldn't be exposed to algorithmic content. As it's currently written it looks to be limited to platforms with a certain threshold of users. Which might actually encourage fediverse growth. Any slippery slop argument is silly and just benefits Zuck and friends.
