Zuckerberg seeks to place responsibility onto Apple and Google for underage social media use

Zuckerberg seeks to place responsibility onto Apple and Google for underage social media use::Apple and Google, not social media companies, should be responsible for checking users’ ages to ensure they are not underage, Zuckerberg told lawmakers, suggesting it would be “trivial” for Congress to design legislation regulating app store owners.

They're all to blame and parents.

It‘s very depressing how everyone keeps shifting the blame instead of doing something. Even law makers abuse the topic of child safety to end internet privacy.

So we've reached the point where the web doesn't exist anymore in the general opinion, it's just wall gardened apps now ? 🙁 .0

TwilightVulpine ,

For the average user, might as well. Most people don't use PCs in casual settings and most Android phones come with Facebook preinstalled.

Especially in developing countries. A lot of people there have literally never experienced the open web.

Ow, this one seems to particularly suck 🙁

I feel the worst outcome of this will be mandated age verification on every website. I really hope the EFF is ready to fight like hell.

Everyone knows the median age on Facebook is 55 so he's got a point there

But not Instagram

If we had a good DID using SSI wallets, it would not be that privacy invasive.

Example of SSI wallet:

Browsers on phones too so access is already outside the app store

The problem with smart people is that they seem to think everyone else is too dumb to catch them doing stupid shit.

    How about making companies stop pre-loading this shitty meta bloatware on every piece of hardware in circulation?

    There is absolutely no reason I should have this shit stuck on my phone and default loaded onto windows. Hot garbage.

    Wouldn't it be awesome to buy something and have full control of it

    BoringHusband ,

    Yes. Apple and Google should ban the Facebook app.
