    There’s a reason why Meta is lobbying for age verification. They need it to be compliant with the law, without the accountability that goes with it.

    What they need is an absolutely gigantic non-negotiable fine.

      I don’t think it’s just about accountability, I think it’s also about being able to charge advertisers more for verified-human eyeballs.

        Profit is far too easy to manipulate. A percentage of gross revenue would really sting.

          Which is what these EU laws usually do. This one is up to 6% of world wide revenue. Actually collecting those fines is another story though.
