Answering this point directly, not the full argument.

If Meta bans young people from their platforms, young people will just go to a different platform, and then Meta loses a generation of customers.

But if the age blocking affects all platforms, then the playing field is kept equal with respect to age blocking.

Which other platforms? Age verification affects everyone equally. Any alternative platform that caters to young people that grows large enough will get the ban hammer, unless somehow someone manages to run a Facebook alternative out of Russia for people (kids?) to flock to.

I still don’t think that is the case.

This might reflect a misunderstanding of my comment.
