Although some of us treat this site like social media, I don't think it is technically considered social media.

 

[navychop]

What else would it be?

Does that law apply only to a minimum size site? Enforcement may be not to anyone's liking.

From the article: "The regulations released Tuesday require large social media platforms to use third-party systems to document age." (emphasis added)

Antisocial media? Per dishdude anyway... lol

I believe its called a forum. At least that's what we called it in the dark ages of AOL.

lol. It's what I'd still refer to it as.

Doesn't impact any structured content like a forum, the bill is related to algorithmic feeds - so most social media and video sites. Addresses habits like doom scrolling and other addicting forms of social media.

While current text is overly broad, also unlikely to impact this site. Enforcement is likely to focus on sites where adult content is the primary medium a site traffics in. And that's if it passes at all.

If it does, I can see sites and services similar to id.me becoming more popular for general verification processes to hook into.

Why cant I put you on ignore?

Why cant I put you on ignore?

Because he's a moderator and he may want to tell you something that you need to hear.

Enforcement is likely to focus on sites where adult content is the primary medium a site traffics in.

Enforcement seems to focus on anything that some level of administration disfavors. Laws can't dictate which elements are going to be pursued unless they are very limited in scope and defined precisely. That's the definition of "unintended consequences" (or carefully hidden consequences).

What needs to be taken into consideration is the poster's/reader's "emotional age" and there's no government-issued ID that contains that information.
