The push to control teen access to social media is really a push to require KYC on all apps and websites.

In short, you cannot arrest people for their opinions online if you don't know who they are.
Even mainstream lib journos are talking coherently about this issue. Why are we being pushed closer toward mass surveillance?

I believe bots are also a part of this agenda to achieve censorship and KYC.
Bots are annoying so you filter, block, or censor them. This then forces measures to insure only real people are online and subsequently a verification process.
All a slippery slope.
Good luck getting mastodon instances and nostr to follow these rules. The internet has to be gatekeeper companies (facebook, pornhub, etc) so they can be brought to court, etc. no company no control.
