    Facebook requires users to be "at least 13 years old." That's
    Facebook's way of saying "13 is fair game for sexual predators." The
    other problem is how do they expect to verify that a user is 13? By forcing them to submit a photo so that some pervert in an underground Hawaiian bunker can guess their age?

    It seems that there's always an element of pedophilia in these edicts.

    You're right that it's a control thing. Some people have the "sysgod" mentality.

    Too many people have that mentality.

    I read more about it and they said they rely on an AI program to "detect" the child's age based on a video selfie that the child must upload (it reminds me of when I got kicked off for refusing to upload a video selfie.)

    Not only "can" they detect if child is 13 or not, but they "can" also detect if Aaron Thomas is REALLY Aaron Thomas. But of course it's BS. If they can detect a person's age then they should prove it first, before deploying it on children. (Leftoids are probably letting their kids do it.)
