This ban is a wake up call to Tech Industry to implement and enforce rules against hate speech, grooming, fake news, etc. They surely cannot verify the age of a human without any official ID made in the real world. This leads to other problems but that's not the concern of the government! Social Media wants it's users, not the government.
what? Why would tech industry care? If anything it'll have the reverse effect and dimiss tech role in brain rott because "see, kids are not on it! It's all good here"
