    Oh, you’re not saying the user answers this question. You’re saying someone like the Department of Licensing does?

      Pretty much that government API you mentioned, rather than the platform self regulating. Fox guarding the hen house and all…

        Yeah and when your government is experiencing some troubles themselves the whole shit comes down. We’ve experienced a little downtime here for regional government and it lasted quite a while. Centralisation introduces its own weaknesses. Additionally, at some point, we could address this by just having parents accountable in this specific use case. Wtf do we need a technological solution to address parenting? This small subset thereof.

          Exactly! Parents should be in charge of child not smoking or drinking! What sort of countries would also hold stores accountable… wait up…

            I’ll also add that, contrary to shop surveillance, parents have physical control of their kids devices to a large extent. And most OSes comes with features allowing parental controls. So yeah we have the tools for enforcing our accountability as parent on the internet.

            I trust that parents are the first line of defence for those as well. Then education. Then store controls indeed but it doesn’t involve the mass surveillance implementation required for the web. And the risks are also absolutely not the same; physical check are not leading to increased risks of leakage. Or reuse for not necessarily compatible purposes. It’s also not systematic ; as soon as you vaguely looks out of your teens you’re never asked ID anymore for either…
