Yeah, when it comes to verifying the age of a potential minor, the technological methods are kind of limited.
voice-verified
On one hand, you could use some software where you take a picture of a person's face and I guess that tries to estimate their age, or you have them submit like a a legal ID to the platform.

Putting aside the creepiness factor for a second.
voice-verified
Do those verification tools work?

So when it comes to using photo ID as a verification tool for enforcing some of these new policies, summarize that debate because on one hand, you could say, well, you know, you use a photo ID for buying alcohol and tobacco.
voice-verified
If social media is as harmful to young minds as we think it might be, then maybe there should be photo ID enforcement.
voice-verified
Tell me why it's more complicated than that.

voice-verified
In your piece you refer to the zombie era of meta.
voice-verified
What do you mean?
voice-verified

voice-verified
has 3.9 billion users globally, which I guess would include Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
voice-verified
That's roughly a billion more users than YouTube has each month.
voice-verified
So I guess the runway for Meta's slow death is pretty darn long.
voice-verified

voice-verified
Some meaningful consequences for this era of social media impunity.
voice-verified
Like what?
voice-verified
It's not your job to bring us false optimism, but thank you for translating this head scratcher of a settlement.
voice-verified
Julia, thanks so much.
