Two mastodon posts. The first from @quaff@thecanadian.social has a link to https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/bill/C-34/first-reading and a screenshot of the Minimum Age Obligation section of the bill, which reads "27 (1) Subject to section 29, an operator must, with respect to every regulated social media service specified by regulations made by the Governor in Council under subsection (5) that it operates, implement adequate age-verification or age-estimation measures designed to prevent a person under the age of 16 from being able to have an account with, or be otherwise registered with, the service." The second post is from @jos1264@social.skynetcloud.site. It says "Nearly a million passports and photo IDs were left unprotected on the public internet" and includes a link to https://www.theverge.com/tech/947157/passports-data-breach-cannabis-club-systems-nefos-puffpal.

My timeline is a cautionary tale. How are social media companies going to check if their customers are over 16 without "carding" everyone? And what protections will there be that the identity data they capture isn't left somewhere that can be captured by even worse actors?
