Happy to be dog piled about this, but I don't know what social media apps can do to stop being toxic af for minors without age verification.

children and teens need to be taught internet safety and the web needs to be more spread out so that moderation is viable. HUMAN moderation. by human people.

Who is paying for all the necessary human moderators? Agreed on Internet safety lessons, but if my lesson plans were magic bullets, then there would be far fewer people who don't understand rhetoric and logic.

"Just give a company that had data breaches last year scans of your photo ID, it'll be fine, surely if a scan of your photo ID is stolen noting SERIOUSLY bad can be done with it..."

I'm 99% certain that ID verification is done by a third party that doesn't retain the images. You can call BS but their only task is a token that says if a person is a minor or not, no database of IDs necessary. Confirm and delete.

But, I don't see any other way to address the issues...
