The zero knowlage proofs from google seem suspect and easily bypassed but at the same time seem like the only viable option.
Kinda messed up but i actually hope to see a mass exodus of children from social media. They are absolute detriments to all platforms, and their mental health will imporove dramatically. Ive been part of many communities that allow children. Rocket league, pokemon, mtg, mmos, twitch chats, discord, fgc, etc. something eventually happens, every time. Imo children interacting with adults without direct supervison is the most irresponsible thing a parent can do. and i dont even blame the parents anymore these kids have 100 devices all internet accessible. It must be a nightmare if your child is even slightly tech litterate.
"without direct supervison" thats the Problem. However, age verification, chat control, the fight against encryption, etc. are in no way about the children who are abused and instrumentalized by the states throughout Europe. it is simply about the blanket surveillance of each individual.
The issue of upbringing, parental duties and parental responsibility is not addressed. Although it would be the parents' responsibility. So you can already see that it's not about the children... because shitty parents can continue to be shitty parents.
