The proposed social media ban, the EU KIDS Act, is perhaps the most chaotic law I have ever read! New paper: Are EU Kidding Me? Notes from a Poorly Drafted Social Media Ban. files.michae.lv/papers/veale_areEUkiddingme.pdf In the spirit of the proposal I have stayed offline and read no takes.

As a preview - loot boxes banned everywhere EXCEPT games - age estimation techs have impossible tech requirements - U-15s have 1 hour daily limit on strava & spotify - accidental age rating obligation for all kindle ebooks - 14 yos on work experience can only use slack through a parent's account

Is it possible to read this paper without pulling out all my hair? I'm already very mad at the EU Kids Act, I'm worried about getting even more mad

no it is impossible i am the author and i have no hair left
