The EU has banned under 16's from most social media sites, teens are flipping their shit

>It's clogged up your inbox with pleading emails, but another unintended consequence of GDPR could be bad news for teenagers.

>The European data laws coming into effect this week will introduce new rules around kids and online services, in some cases requiring children under 16 to get parental consent before using apps that ask for personal data

>Not all European countries have the same age limit of 16 – GDPR leaves some wiggle room to lower that threshold to as low as 13 (which has been the general standard across the US and Europe until now – hence social media platforms like Facebook requiring users to be at least that old). The UK and Ireland have opted to keep the age of consent at 13, while countries including France, the Netherlands and Germany have moved to adopt the 16 limit.

>In response, some apps have simply changed their age restrictions to say that users must be 16 to use them at all; last month, WhatsApp updated the minimum age of European users to 16 (though you still only have to be 13 to use it in the US). Facebook still allows 13-year-olds to sign up, though they will need parental consent to access some features such as personalised ads.

thats fucking great, now ban american music and series too

we can all thanks onigger for handing over the power of the net to the UN while illegally sitting as security council chain. As well as the UN adopting the hate-speech laws soon after
you're fucking stupid

GDPR not looking so bad no, is it?

Why not just say under 15?

OH NO NO NO NO

Good

I somewhat agree. Social media is worse for the mind than some drugs imo

they are losing control of social media so they are trying to limit the damage these kids see
this will backfire.

because he is under 15 and likely female

Shame that for every great law, the EU has ten more that are pure cancer

this

Age of consent will be homogenized at 16 min. If you have 15 as minimum or less, you're gonna change soon.

Happend here in spain (we had 13 because of gypsy weddings mostly) so get ready.

It really curves your banana

God bless this union.

And Ireland's age of digital consent was just bumped up to 16

I"m not so sure this is a bad thing. I really think that less TV/phone time/etc is what everyone needs.

I think it's a good move.

Kids don't get exposed to all the gay shit and refugee propaganda that is rampant on Twitter and Facebook. Also think it will lower depression at young ages because kids don't get so exposed to how good some other kids life is. It generally means less exposure to dangerous ideas for the easily influenced.

Also we wouldn't want a generation that is being raised on garbage memes. Kids shouldn't be tweeting about there boring lives. They should be outside playing, laughing and growing up. Not exposed to the garbage Twitter and Facebook shuts out.

>digital consent

wew

Death to Babylon II.

As if that’s going to stop anyone lmao, kids don’t watch porn either because the site says 18+.. right?

That's older than the age of consent in most of Europe.

but its rampant in their classroom and TV
Social media is the only place they can see anything different
if it wasnt for social media putting a spotlight on the BS journalists were doing people would still believe what the mainstream media was selling

Social media and smartphones have shown to take primary priority in one's mind to the point you can't properly think by being in proximity near a phone. Other things that are in your primary attention priority is your name so that you coule notice it even around a lot of background noise. Let that sink in and tell me how's this is a bad think. I wouldn't let my kids near technology, let alone social media until they are 16 minimum

believe it or not guys but Jow Forums has a presence on social media and you are reaching people. that is what they are trying to stop here.

give them time, the pedos will surely get the law changed so they don't lose an important recruitment method

generation z is growing

That combined with this

We can't stop winning

Probably when ((they)) identify themselves for whatever thing there are virtue signalling for at that second.

Only thing that is going to die is your unemployment payments once austerity kicks in to pay for privilege of leaving EU.

Is the UN controlled the net this whole site would be shut down and any non American poster would be in prison for hate speech

im not saying social media is healthy
im saying the reason they are doing this is because we are having an affect on social media
that is one of the reasons why they scream "russian bot" so much
>dont listen to him he's just a russian bot, ignore his opinion
If it wasnt for social media spreading the truth we would not have trump and mainstream media would not be referred to as Fake News.

They do not want kids seeing anything outside their propaganda ie. classrooms/television news

ARMY is what fans of kpop bou band BTS call themselves. I'm ashamed that I know this.

The EU also banned the average bloke from keeping even 1 bass fish this year when you go fishing, meanwhile large commercial boats can still catch as much as they like.

EU is a fucking joke, terrible terrible plague on the people.

Kids being banned from social media is a legitimate improvement.

>you're fucking stupid
why is letting kids on social media ever a good thing?

This is a good thing. Surprised we don’t have it here yet.

> @hiplikejbooty

I want to ban this particular teen from existence.

Good. Kids should be out playing instead of being inside glued to their phones.

Good, social media has a NEGATIVE influence on impressionable young people who have no idea how the world works. Someone explain to me how I can block access to (((instagram))) for anyone in South Africa.

>Be German
>Can have sex at 14

The new European legislation about users' private data protection coming into effect these days is one of, if not the, most protective laws against misuse of users's data
that there are a few sperglord kids getting pissy about it, just the better

I don't think young kids are that interested in TV and the news and such. If the parents are decent they will not have leftist ideas.

I always say that experience as a child has a big impact on your life as an adult. If a Syrian refugee bullied some Dutch kid and they were both let's say 12 years old. The Dutch kid will be biased towards refugees. That is why I hate Turks, they treated me like shit when I was a kid so I have a general bias towards them.

Also you got those retarded internet challenges, so kids will be less exposed to the idea of eating dishwasher soap. Celebrity will also have less of an influence on kids too.

Kids should be outside developing based on their own experiences. I am glad I still see that here in the Netherlands but much less compared to when I was a kid.

I think it is a good thing and if not, it will be an interesting social experiment.

>im saying the reason they are doing this is because we are having an affect on social media
Maybe one reason, but certainly not the only reason
it ain't right for some internet companies to make money off influenceable little kids' preferences' data sold to big advertisement companies

Twitter is a company and Twitter is their property and they can do whatever they want and....hue hue hue.
I'm sure just yesterday they were loling about Trump being halted by the court from blocking people on his Twitter. Now their laughter turns to tears. IT RAINS SALT!

This.
Social media is used to spread stupidity, Marxism, Social Justice and degeneracy.
It's a kike brainwashing tool. Thats why all Social media sites are owned by kikes.

How's that possible, 48 replies and only ONE sees how this rule is useless?

Jow Forums used to be a smarter board.

based eu
if only Jow Forums could ban the underage

Sites asking your ID pasports for their databases when? Wanna play some online game? ID required. topkek

true, guess we will have to see how it turns out, id like to see kids getting out and playing more.
just something tells me a reason they are doing this is because of how much social media is turning against the leftist agenda.

this is the best thing the eu has done in a while

I`m actually fine with this, most sites run by our government require ID check via bank or ID card already.

This is fantastic!!

The goverment wants to control our mind, what we are thinking. They want to decide what to do with our bodies ( donor laws). The internet was our first global tool to help us think for ourselves. If you don't stand ground marxism will take over.

Good. Now if we could just get all of the fucking underage b& out of this place, the internet would be saved.

just another reason why glorious EU is superior to the Amerimuttland

for perhaps the first time ever i think this is a good thing.

I`m not a communist, just a concerned citizen who wants more protection and stability.

This is unironically a good thing.

>The goverment wants to control our mind, what we are thinking
And the government is controlled by how people vote, or how they're thinking
I don't see the problem

The internet would be a better place without all of you really

good news at last.
Snotnose kids shouldn't even be on the internet.

Jesus, the majority of BTS fans are insufferable.

Not surprising since they're either preteen girls or womanchildren

It just means they are going to roll out some new outlet to control what they see and learn. The EU is totalitarian and was losing control of the communist message. Now they can take it back for future generations.

Based EU!

yep. kids need to be kept from computers like computers are poisonous snakes.

I'd become an EU shill at that point.

If only eCommerce bans were next but sadly they make too much money for that to happen but they and nomies fucked internet up

Good, theres no reason to allow children on social media

at least the AOC in Germany is still 9

And thats the problem you not seeing it.

Good. Social media and every form of marketing and advertising that employs the use of any psychological or mind manipulation tactics should be punishable by death.
