It's more similar to the current age restrictions on alcohol, although I do agree it'd be better to ban recommendation algorithms than an age gate.
They didn't poll under 18's because it's a political polling organisation and under-18's don't vote, I will say it is a bit strange they grouped the ages like that, since they usually don't, it seems to have been done for the page layout.
The other study linked only has one non-leading question, and a majority still supports a ban.
I don't support the current implementations but dismissing the specific poll is a bit silly.
I totally agree with that, I'd argue for either banning the negative aspects or doing that double-blind government-run verification I saw proposed that lets neither the government or the site have relevant information.
My point was that that stuff is a real concern for most people and that's why those bills are being passed.
tbf it's a linux flipphone, but yeah it seems like a kinda weird second product after their commodore remake.
What stops you is the javascript puzzle, I agree it's not worth it for the inconvenience but the idea is at least interesting
