Troy Hunt argues under-16 social media bans should put enforcement on platforms, not parents (policy opinion, no threat)

1 fonte(s) · 1 atualização(ões) · publicado 09/11/2026 21:42 · coletado há 1 hora

This troyhunt.com Weekly Update 529 is an opinion column, not a security report, on the debate over keeping children under 16 off social media. The author says the debate is misdirected because social media platforms are being placed in charge of implementing and enforcing the age limit, which he considers the correct allocation of responsibility. He acknowledges major holes in the implementation and serious privacy and social concerns. He argues the approach does not need to be perfect, since over time it will shift social norms for the children in the affected age bracket. He hopes the principle that the burden should not fall on parents will be respected more than it has been. The article names no vulnerabilities, incidents, threat actors, malware or indicators, so no technical, fix or remediation sections apply.
