"I wonder if parents realise they could lose access to their YouTube/TikTok/etc accounts if they allow their children to use their accounts even under supervision. If age inference technology is used even if you're adult and it's your account if it accesses what they consider junior/teen content those accounts could be cancelled/suspended. This is an example of where the government's policy will directly override a parent. The government is parenting for you and you won't have a choice If this isn't what you want you better speak up now"

"But it's not. It's selective targeting of social media removing sites that have parental moderation and supervision. They've selected sites that have low junior participation and ignoring sites that have junior participation. It's forces adults to age verify while driving kids and teens to unmoderated sites. It creates an underground culture to circumvent government restrictions. It does nothing to protect kids"
