UK asks social media companies to tighten up for under 13’s

The UK government is doubling down and asking social media firms to toughen up age checks for under 13’s. Now whilst I feel this is something that should be done I can see a negative situation happening across social media where these firms are charging for age verification. I was recently asked to verify myself and couldn’t complete the checks for various reasons and got charged a 33p transaction fee from Paypal because of this…. thousands of 33p adds up quickly doesn’t it!
