This is just more government overreach. I get that protecting kids is important, but forcing a minimum age on social media isn't going to stop kids from finding ways around it. It’ll just drive them to less regulated platforms that are harder to monitor. Also, who's going to enforce this? Parents should be teaching their kids about responsible tech use, not the government acting like Big Brother.
I don't find it's an overreach, it's like age restrictions for movies. Sure, many kid's don't follow those, but many do. Parents can enforce it or not. I think having an age restriction at least signals to society that social media isn't without dangers, which can in turn influence parents to teach their kids about it.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
