Australia is banning everyone under 16 from ALL social media….should that happen in the US?

The government says will it rely on some form of age-verification technology to implement the restrictions, and options will be tested in the coming months. The onus will be on the social media platforms to add these processes themselves.

I don't like the idea of making adults show their ID to access anything just to prevent kids from accessing it

Perhaps parents should just do a better job of actually parenting and not letting the government parent

Lol, sometimes it ain't the parents fault. Kids are sneaky and can be innovative to get around rules. We were.

But it's not the governments job to parent the kids IMO

Wouldn't that apply to everything the government has age-based restrictions on? Cigarettes, alcohol, weed, driving, guns, shit in every state except Maine (and Guam if you wanna include territories) you can't even buy a can of spray paint (some include Sharpies under that) if you're under 18. Parents can only do so much to raise their kids right, the government steps in for the rest.

I really don't see how that's comparable. You just brought in things that kill people
 
I'm with it. I don't believe the internet need be completely free and accessible. I'd actually be fine with having to need ID to use it, if that were at all possible. Probably my least libertarian take.
