Implementing a social media ban entails the collection of age verification data, often through digital identification systems. The necessity for such systems raises serious concerns about data security and privacy. Data breaches are commonplace, and the prospect of vulnerable personal information—especially for minors—being stored or exposed to malicious actors is alarming.
As Rion All points out, these verification measures could inadvertently introduce new vulnerabilities, making sensitive data an attractive target for hackers. The implications highlight the need for cautious and secure implementation if such policies are to be effective without compromising individual privacy.
