I find it hard to see a way to run a targeted ad social media company at all if you have to make sure children aren't harmed by your product.

don't let children use? In TN it that will be illegal Jan 1 - unless social media creates a method for parents to provide ID and opt out of them being blocked I think?

Wouldn't that put the responsibility back on the parents?

The state told you XYZ was bad for your kids and it's illegal for them to use, but then you bypassed that restriction and put the sugar back into their hands with an access-blocker-blocker..

Random wondering

Age limitations for things are pretty widespread. Of course, they can be bypassed to various degrees but, depending upon how draconian you want to be, you can presumably be seen as doing the best you reasonably can in a virtual world.
