The smarter kids will just go in and change their bday or create a new account that has them old enough. The only way to prevent that is to make them verify ID on every single person logging in from a Florida based ip or is a resident. But, what about those who are traveling from other states, should they also be forced to upload ID? I’m going to say no.
I’m not sure you follow. I’m postulating whether or not say facebook would have to lock someones account and force them to upload ID because they happened to have browsed it while inside the state. This would not be looked upon kindly by other states.
They would force ID check from anyone accessing from inside Florida. Once they left Florida they could access freely. A 16 yr old from Georgia on spring breakin Florida would have to age verify until they went home, at which point the verification would no longer be required.
This bill must be funded by VPN services because anyone who thinks teens won’t figure out a workaround has never tried to stop teens from anything. Disobeying is what they do on an evolutionary level.
what a fucking dogshit state. not that social media is good for anyone, but restricting kids from one of their main forms of communication / news / outlet to the world is just designed to be obnoxious.
even best case scenario, active malice aside, these people somehow have zero memory of what it was like to be a kid; having to wake up for school at 6am and do endless homework for no material benefit, and now this
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Waiting to see how these apps do the malicious compliance thing. Because I think that’s probably what’s going to happen.
How?
That’ll end well…

If it’s illegal in the state for residents then it will be illegal for those traveling too

Also using sites such as “This Person Doesn’t Exist” to generate am AI pic of a human could be used for profile pics.
You can make an instagram account fine with bing dall-e too.
Wow, broken clock and all that.
Internet too dangerous. Florida, just ban it entirely, just to be extra safe.
For once Florida is doing something good.
At least it would be if they weren’t simply doing this to prevent kids from becoming more informed.
I’d agree if the ban extended to news articles online.
It doesn’t.

Sounds totally enforceable!
Bah they’ll just do it in secret instead of openly.
