About time Europe treated addictive feeds like the product design problem they are. The real test is whether this becomes meaningful age appropriate access with privacy preserving checks, or just another glorious cookie banner where everyone clicks »I’m 18« and TikTok solemnly salutes.

    EU already has systems for verifying age and the provider sends no identifiable information to the website. While I find age verification problematic and annoying - where credit is due, they seem to have at least made it so that the citizen data is not being uploaded to US servers.
