An Angus Reid survey says three-quarters of more than 4,000 respondents are in favour of a ban like the one in Australia, where youth under 16 are prevented from setting up accounts on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Threads.

USA is a shithole so I'm guessing you don't have 3rd party verification through banks etc.

As I said, you can look up the legislation in Australia where uploading ID is one of several verification methods.

Enforcement doesn't need to be entirely at the point of access. By making it illegal companies are obligated to cancel the account upon discovery they have done so.

LIke you're still conflating 2 very different things based on how your framing your question. It's a strawman tbh. Like you could easily go answer this question for yourself if you cared beyond winning a reddit argument.
