why would taking rights away from teens be something adults do in their interest -- clearly, it is not for the benefit of these young people, so whose benefit is it for?

@libramoon @br00t4c Not to be an alarmist, but, if passed, "The federal government is running a trial of technologies that could be used for [age verification] this purpose, including things like asking all users to use a digital ID, existing government documents like drivers licences, facial analysis and other methods" to keep users under 16 off their platforms.
