The law in EU says that they can only store the data they actually need which in this case would be none of it. You check if user is over 15 and create the account or not.
Or course you’re going to say you can’t trust social media companies with that and that for sure they will still store everything but they already can do that. They have peoples’ credit cards, addresses, phone numbers and emails. What’s new here?
My point is, if you don’t want social media companies to have your data you don’t create accounts there. If you do have an account there sharing your date of birth is not an issue.
As for anonymity I say fuck it. We’re living in the age of bots and misinformation. Verifying that only real people can post things online will be a benefit for society.
Yall gonna hate but I’m curious how this plays out positively even with the negative consequences.

Yep. This is a parenting issue. Not a government one.
I didn’t say there wouldn’t be negative consequences. In fact, I said there would be. I’m just curious what positive could come from it.

We’ll see. That’s a really closed-minded opinion.

It’s closed minded when you believe that the two are not mutually exclusive.

I’m confused. Do you believe that you can have good AND bad consequences, or because there are bad consequences you cannot have good consequences?
