Whistleblower to Congress: Facebook products harm kids and democracy
The two best ideas I&#x27;ve heard:<p>- Require age verification by law and ban kids from using it. We ban kids from alcohol we should ban them from this.<p>- Require ID verification by law but allow people to use a fake name.<p>Fixes the bots issue and the kid depression issue.<p>The market isn&#x27;t going to get there by itself because of competition. If insta implements this then they lose market share to snap. So there&#x27;s a strong incentive to attract as many kids as possible. Need a govt intervention.<p>This also isn&#x27;t negative for free speech as a value, since people can still post under a fake name. It just kills the bots. And without the bot assisted fake news, there will be less pressure and need to censor, so it&#x27;s actually a win for free speech.
