I wouldn't group all Western countries together.

The US has always been unique in having a very libertarian, freedom at all costs culture.

For example in Australia we have recently banned children from using social networks and this was supported by about 80% of the population.

Is there no resistance to things like having to adult having to prove their age to social networks? How is that going to be done, BTW?

The same way it has been done for years when you sign up for a mobile plan etc.

You verify your age using either passport, driver's license, digital ID etc.

There are plenty of services that provide this.

So you have to show your ID to social networks. Very intrusive.
