Honestly, in 2026 do you really think this won't be subverted?

VPN to countries that don't require identification. Done.

Kids have been buying accounts for years now. It isn't new. See: WoW. This isn't anything new, just a new market for it.

lol regarding holding anyone legally responsible. Good luck is all I can say. The US doesn't prosecute firearms owners who claim a stolen gun that was involved in a crime, only in very clear (and especially stupid) cases. No chance this happens with social media accounts. Just none, on any wide scale.

And again, pretty easy to AI generate an ID these days... kids were doing this in the 70s and it was way, way harder back then.

And this is at the cost of mandatory handing of IDs to big tech that will inevitably leak. Are you comfortable posting a picture of your ID right here? If not, you should be no more comfortable handing your ID to Facebook.

I'm not willing up give up my right to privacy because someone else is a shitty parent, sorry. I'll subvert it because it's unethical.
