Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says the move will protect children from the “digital Wild West”.
Well, Trump doesn’t like Sanchez, and Trump now controls most American social media… it’s the most logical move on his part.

Better yet : ban Facebook and the likes for anyone younger than 40 … and also for anyone older than 39.
Do also Reddit, xTwit, microSlop and so on.BrikoX@lemmy.zip 3 hours ago
Wouldn’t have expected this from Sánchez. The mistargeted hysteria is getitng old.

So fucking stupid, it’s not going to get or keep anyone off of social media. They will just get pushed to shady sites that won’t bother to comply or they will lie about their age.

I am asking in good faith, what is a more appropriate response?
I work in youth crisis support, and I can say that social media addiction is on par with methamphetamine. I used to be a tech startup guy & game developer, so I’m not naive to what you’re saying either.
