So the legal driving age in Texas is 15, but you won't be able to use any social media until 18? Makes sense. And of course, "age verification", totally nothing to take data and control users, nah, LeTs ThInK aBoUt ChIlDrEn first. Comedy.

Well said hugh mungus 👍

As annoying and dumb children on the Internet are, and how often overexposure to it harms them, this is just another example of the famous party of small government making the government bigger and more anti-freedom to do things that parents should be doing in the first place. If only families didn't need to send both parents to work for 40+ hours a week for each parent to bring home enough money to live then the parents could actually be parents and properly monitor their children's Internet usage.
