I mean. . . It should be up to the parents to protect and educate their children. It is very easy to set up protections on a computer to either not let them use discord or to not allow them to install it.
That’s a false dichotomy. Parents can and should protect children. Social media sites can and should protect children. It’s in the social interest. Parents don’t have control over every device a child has access to. Firewalls at schools and libraries are often lackluster
Personally I won’t use a site that wants to scan my face. My computer doesn’t even have a camera.
I am also not going to upload a scan of my ID. We are on Lemmy for goodness sake. Clearly I care at least a little bit about my privacy.
It seems to me that there is no good way to ensure that children are kept away from content they shouldn’t have access to without serious privacy concerns.
