no literally i find the government banning it for under 16s as a great way to start a movement of this rule being placed worldwide but at the same time i feel like banning it, is also just gonna make it worse. like cos if im being honest my daily screen time is 6 hours and its geniunely embarrasing for me to say. i regret it alot but at the same timei genuinely cannot help it. but yeah our generation is so reliant on technology, especially social media, so i have a feeling some kids r just gonna get their way through the ban by like faking their age etc.

its also so crazy like are we all gonna have to attach our faces to our accounts now? because the government apparently ruled out forcing id's so now tech companies have to use face scanning technology...
which incidentally has failure rates that increase if you are female or black or like minority
ALSO what if i want to shave my face and im 16? theres no way it can tell the difference between a hairless 15 yr old and a hairless 16 yr old

literally...
it could also mentally affect kids who are chronically online too. I think it really depends on how people under 16 take it...a challenge (finding different ways to get through it) mental affects, social affects, going outdoors instead as a result etc.
actually that's really good since to watch 18+ youtube videos, I had to verify my age, and one way was to use this exact face age estimator... it thought I was above 18 lol
