Estonia is correct. The responsibility to keep children safe falls on adults and platform operators, not on the kids. If social media isn't safe for children, it's not safe for adults either, because the safety this is about isn't about the content, but of what the platforms do with our data.

Estonia is the rare EU country opposing bans on children’s social media use

Estonia declined the EU's Jutland Declaration, arguing age bans are unenforceable and Europe should enforce GDPR against platforms instead of restricting children.

And another article failing to properly mention that an age ban affects *everyone*. Also you, adult, will need to prove your age.

@DePemig Exactly, especially as there’s currently no measure to prove age that can’t be turned into digital infrastructure for authoritarianism easily. It’d be ineffective at protecting children but potentially effective at stifling free speech.

Maybe there's something to that "digital republic" mystique.
