I don't think enforcement actually needs to be very tightly controlled. The barriers that are put in place like the one you describe are already enough to create a social milieu where parents and kids with think twice about these things and understand that there is a recognised harm potential.

There's nothing stopping you pouring your youngsters a glass of wine with dinner, but as a society we've made the dangers of alcohol and similar things so well understood that no parent wants to.

Unfortunately, as a society, we have a much harder time grasping social media threat data. I suppose some of that is due to how news orgs consistently+bizarrely+hugely overstating the actual harms in the data.

Oh totally! What I'm saying is that laws like this, even when not enforceable per se, can help move society towards that understanding.

Judging by how many of my kid's friends under 13 have various accounts already, I'm not sure that's the case.

A lot of kids are given alcohol as well but I'm still happy to say that as a society we understand the danger of underage drinking.
