Illinois is the first state in the U.S. to ensure child social media influencers are compensated for their work, according to Sen. David Koehler, of Peoria, who sponsored a bill that was signed into law and will go into effect on July 1, 2024.

ToS that enforces 16+ to post content of themselves as the main focus of their channel. Definitely not require any sort of ID. If they’re proven to be lying, or are clearly and visibly under 16, then ban.
Okay the age part doesn’t seem pragmatic at all since aging a kid based on only appearances is wildly inconsistent, and now you’ve banned someone so they just make another account.
What do you do now?
Nothing. That’s the point.
I’m sorry, I’m confused. I asked how someone who wanted to ban child influencers would accomplish that, and you gave a small list of things you would do to do it, and then when it didn’t work you said that was the whole point?
Is your point that you can’t do it? And if so, why did you offer up something if you figured it wouldn’t even work?
If they’re ban evading, they’re just going to keep getting rebanned and isn’t an influencer at that point. Appearances is a difficult problem, and unless it’s very obvious they’re under 16, they shouldn’t be banned. The alternative is that you ask for IDs to guarantee this, which is horrible. It’d be much more preferable to let this small problem run rampant, since it’s significantly less harmful then requiring IDs which I hope I don’t need to explain why that’s extremely bad, privacy invasive, and a security nightmare.
Why is this so upvoted?
It accomplishes nothing and would do nothing to “ban child influencers”.
The entire point of the thought experiment was to point out how ridiculous the idea of somehow banning people off social media completely is.
Any and all terms or conditions would be wholly unenforceable.
Hopefully Google will implement ID verification into the web integrity API to protect these children.
Can’t tell if sarcasm or not, I assume so
