A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How do they even plan on enforcing this? What would possibly be the consequences for either parent or child if they violate?

what defines social media

The article mentions anything that requires an email to sign up. My guess is that social media sites will allow "guest" accounts or something with no email that section you off into a kids version of the site while everyone else is expected to provide verification.
