> The commission said children under 13 could use a fake birthdate to open a Facebook or Instagram account, with no checks on their self-declaration. How is what Meta did here any different than how 99% of other websites age-gate content? Why is Meta getting the harsh treatment?

The EU can't think of anything better for the children of Europe than burning $300 billion on open sores? Investors and economists have gone crazy, chips and digital infra aren't worth anything, they just extract value from your population and make them dumber. While the western populace is buying debt fueled subscription services on credit, China is buying real estate, maintenance and robots with their trade surplus. Endless VC hype about robots in 2040, except there are here now. Not "here" they are in Chinese factories making cheap vehicles.

Kids under 13 using Facebook is a real problem now? There's something fishy about this. Is this for lobbying and enforcing chat control and age verification?
