But we tried that already with alcohol and we got organized crime.
So there gonna be some bootleg twitter posts now?

Also wouldn't HN count as social media too, as we are interacting here?

You joke, but I worry about this if Norway implements an age limit based on geographic location - it either gets kids onto the shittiest possible free VPN which MITMs everything, or gets them onto imageboards/apps with even fewer facilities for handling abuse than FB and Snapchat have

Family minister Toppe was immediately asked afterwards if the age limit would cover newspapers with comment sections, and she responded that it would - so parents would have to consent to you sharing personal info with the newspaper, which seems like a long way to say "your parents decide whether you get to read the news"
