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.

      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.
