While I accept that anonymity protects people from being targeted personally, it also enables harm that is arguably worse than not using social media at all. Online bullying, online hate, trolling whatever you want to call it does more damage than the good generated by being able to promote your cause.Age verification is pretty straightforward not sure why losing access to under 16s would make you close? Irrespective of that we have entire generations of children raised on a daily diet of social media now becoming parents. It’s not pretty. We’ll have to see how the Australia system works but I wouldn’t be surprised if more countries follow soon. UK included.I agree about being the algorithm being the issue. I guess my concern about doomscrolling is the addiction nature of it.If someone made a statement in a newspaper that was factually incorrect they would be liable. Similarly if it was made in a TV documentary. Influencers have fallen through the cracks. I was recently affected by a person who passed away following pretty specific health advise from an influencer and that person is still free to promote the same craze. There should be recourse. I also think that influencers should learn to understand the risks of what they promote and the consequences. Pretty uncontroversial in any setting other than social media.</blockquote>
