@Madchatthew A simple PWA would probably suffice in the meantime
Australia passes social media ban for under 16s

An interesting topic for debate. I totally support and understand the genesis here, but my question is, how do you realistically enforce it? I suspect there is typically an age barrier of sorts, but how to do you circumvent the obvious, such as lying about your age in order to access?

@phenomlab I’m all for it, it’s refreshing to read but yes actually enforcing it is a different ball game altogether.
-
@JAC yes, i just can’t see how it could possibly work.
And this simply bolsters the point

And LinkedIn has something of an amusing response

I agree it’s going to be incredibly difficult to pull off and I just don’t see how they’ll manage it, however I hope they do of course!

This would be really difficult to pull off and then what are the punishments if they are say caught being on social media by circumventing the preventions that are put in place? I am wondering if maybe doing a lot more education on social media for teenagers. Since we are in the day and age where you can’t get away from social media, why not educate and make it so if there is online bullying there is a punishment for that. I mean kids are kids are kids and they are going to find a way to get past the obstacles. Kids are made for that. Like when you don’t want a kid to open a kid proof bottle. The adult can’t open it, but the kid will have it opened in three seconds type of thing.
Maybe education with you need to take everything that anything posts as a grain of salt. And don’t take everything personally and if someone says someone said this about you, then just go to that person and ask them and come up with a solution. I don’t know that banning this type of thing is very helpful.
I understand the thought behind it, but it seems like that is just putting a band aide on something that should be taken care of and nurtured and healed.
