New developments in the social media ban for under 15:

According to the new regulation, young people's access to platforms will be tightly controlled. Identity verification will become mandatory — this will prevent unregistered access to gaming and social media applications.

In addition, government oversight will be increased. Platforms will be subjected to stricter regulation, and the legal responsibility framework will be more clearly defined.

Commercial use by children is also prohibited. Content creation and activities aimed at earning money — all of these will be banned.

This move is an important step toward protecting young people. It will also create new compliance requirements for platforms and operators.

Once again, there's regulation on kids' internet usage. This is really the last straw.

Ha, it's the same old regulation again. Child bans always start like this.

This wave of regulation is really serious. Kids even have to go through real-name authentication... Thinking back to the days when I casually used fake accounts, haha.

Another ban? This time it's the kids. The platform must be terrified.

Mandatory identity verification online? In theory, it can block small accounts, but in practice... it's just another useless innovation. --- DevOps teams are busy again, platform compliance costs are skyrocketing, now they are experts. --- Prohibit children from making money? Luban No.7 is working on it again. How should we handle this in reality? --- The government oversees, platforms take the blame, children are bored—this contract is quite interesting. --- Locking themselves inside again... maximum academic value, minimum practical value. --- Let's do a small experiment: guess how much VPNs and fake certificates will increase in price.
