There are all sorts of fake profiles, ranging from fake profiles to outright impersonations.

All I can tell you is that it cost my parents tens of thousands of euros in court and legal fees to have a profile deleted on meta-platforms that impersonated me in the worst possible way.

I was 13 years old at the time and suddenly exposed to things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I don't want to say any more about it now.

No, of course there shouldn't be a witch hunt.

But there must be a way to stop bullying, self-harm, fake profiles, and things like that as quickly as possible.

Only then will social networks be safe for young people.

And believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

It should be clear to everyone that you can't filter out the weird people and creeps.

But you can create other conditions.

Yes, I agree with you there, but I also feel I must and want to hold politicians and governments accountable. Proper legal frameworks must be established for large social networks. It must be possible to hold these networks accountable much more easily and quickly.

I consider this type of age verification to be very negligent and pointless.

It would be more important to teach children how to use social media responsibly and how to recognize fake news and the like from a very early age – YES, IN SCHOOL.
