      None of that is how this works. Forcing companies like fb that I wouldn’t trust with a recipe to store (even temporarily) copies of peoples ID or other documents is not the same as having a store eyeball an ID or in the case of some places swipe or scan the ID card to verify that’s its legit.

      I don’t disagree about certain versions of social media coupled with the angst and issues with being a kid not being healthy and I’ve kept my use to a min even going so far as deleting my fb years ago. That said, these type of laws do nothing but the opposite of their intentions.

      What we need is all kids sitting through a class about the good and bad about social media and teaching them how to be safe and smart when interacting online.

      I’d suggest you think through what can and will happen when random support people have access to peoples IDs. Hint, they won’t be sending them cookies.

      Seriously. This kind of thing doesn’t work online unless you go the China route and if you want that, you can kindly move to a country already doing it and let’s keep some semblance of common sense here.
