16+

Easiest for all companies to work wiyh; they are legally allowed to process all personal data from that age (in the EU).

But definitely not the crazy way Yubo works with dividing 13–17 and 18–9999.

Kids will always find a way to use social media. So you can either make platforms kid friendly or make it such a hassle to long in on that no one will bother using it. Neither is a good solution, and cost more to implement theses solution than the data collecting for the sites will earn in revenue.

well im british and this ID trash is already ruining our country making things 18+ with you need an ID though to me also a joke for another reason - they go on about protecting kids but.... they build a child predator halfway house not 10ft from a child play park overlooking the park...
But social media should be banned entirely or have a time counter for how long one can spend on it lol

I'm glad internet not existed in my life until I was 16. I not even had a phone until I was 16

No I don't think children should be prohibited from using the internet to socialize with friends. Limited to certain websites, perhaps, but it's really up to the parents to ensure their children are able to socialize responsibly. The fact is, before a couple of decades ago, before the internet existed in the way that it does now, children would see strangers in the real world every day riding their bike to the park or walking to the bus or visiting a friend and the solution was never to lock them away from the world.

Hold up, show me your digital id civilian!

It should be 25+

It´s funny enough that adults want to protect children or teens from things they enjoy or do. Like as if kids would not be curious about it - just because of that.

I don´t know how it works in other countries, but here You need to be 18 to sign the contract to participate in the web, or rather to get a telecommunication contract. One could of course use certain other, public, entry points, but all in all people below 18 can basically only participate if they have the permission from someone who is 18+, or able to sign said contract. So i for myself don´t really see the problem - even if they also discuss such stuff here. Seems that they think that the 18+ people are not responsible enough. Which makes the point of having it 18+ obsolete, when it doesn´t matter how old You are, because You´re always too immature to handle the web, which is probably true for at least 25% of the population anyways.

If it was about me, there would be more transparency and education about the web in school - combined with certain teaching that not all people are nice, that not all companies are nice, or all authorities, or how to handle certain situations, or how security works, or to which offices they can send certain issues, or which sites are okay for certain age groups, and which should be avoided. That would probably also prevent the one or other "my account was hacked because i gave my data to some random person who asked for it, but he said he´s a steam moderator on discord."

yes, Internet is anonymous conversation, when books arent anonymous conversation? writer for books use aliases. from some dubious publishers.
there isnt any guarantee that any conversation cant go wrong and cause damage to listeners anywhere.
including words from parents.

But saying that I've had the most problems with old people on social media than young.

Not for me. The Internet menaces in my experience have all been less than 30 years old. And understandably, older users often take refuge in different forums.

Yes
