Comment on Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announcesparent

Comments

Have they said you’ll need to provide ID? My guess would be they do it through other mechanisms like age estimation. I know X is already doing this for posts labelled mature. If they do estimation through account age most people are probably already basically verified on lots of the main social media services.

I don't know, hence the question.

Confirmed these are all options before id may be necessary:

- Account age more than 16 years

- Age estimation

- Credit card
