there should also be an upper limit 😆
Seriously, I grew up with my mother telling me “don’t believe everything you see on the internet” and she is now addicted to Facebook and believes every single thing she sees as fact as long as it aligns with her believe (republican and Christian - but you already knew that).
(republican and Christian - but you already knew that)
Of course we knew that. Only republicans and Christians are susceptible to propaganda.

Yup, absolutely! Something like 15 - 32 should be fitting.
I wholly support the idea of kicking everyone older than 15 off social media.
I wholly support the idea of kicking everyone ~older than 15~ off social media
I wholly support the idea of kicking corporations off social media.

Yeah… because the age limit of 13 is being enforced really well!
It would be wise to ban Danish universities from using Facebook. Students who do not use Facebook by choice are excluded from receiving some university announcements and information. It’s quite despicable that universities pressure students onto FB.
BTW, I could not read the article because it’s also exclusive… jailed in Cloudflare. The tl;dr bot was useful.
This is stupid and unenforceable.
It’s definitely enforceable. Force social media platforms to only allow accpunt registrations with euIDs.
But its a huge hassle and wont find a political majority anytime soon.
Signing up for social media with ID? Damn. Imagine showing ID to create a Lemmy account. No thanks.
Of course you’ll always be able to sign up to obscure services such as Lemmy servers. It’s always been like that, even with the US law COPPA (nobody really checks).
This law would only be applies to major platforms that have a EU base somewhere (Meta, etc.)
But then the EU is also pushing towards interoperability. If Threads require ID checks and is 15+, but also federates, 13 year olds will just go elsewhere.
I guess the age limit could best be enforced by parents, who would be able to tell their kids they can’t use social media before they’re old enough. Sure there will still be kids around, but there will be fewer of them.
You never know what kind of moronic ideas can find a political majority. Especially not when it comes to technology and surveillance.
Get the hell out of here with forced id-d registration. Nobody needs or wants that other than surveillance capitalists.
Fine the parents who let the kids register early, if it gets known. This will only be a problem for those who let their kids be brought up by the internet.
That’s such a 14yo thing to say. Can you show some ID?
exactly - there is already an age limit that isn’t being enforced, why would a different age limit be better
Denmark is a meme state. They introduced blasphemy laws last year. Why stop with stupid now?
Beer is still cheap though.
Beer is cheap in Denmark? You must be from a country even further to the North.
100% correct.
