      Fair enough, though I do think there social media needs to be regulated in some capacity. There seems to be a lot of pushback against age verification here. That’s fine, but we should try to offer up alternatives. Right now public support is really high for age verification in Canada (about 70% according to a recent poll iirc) so I think doing nothing is just not politically sustainable. Politicians are going to respond to this public sentiment with regulation, so we should try to direct them in the right direction, towards whatever type of regulation the people feel comfortable with
