Social media for even developed minds is a massive problem. People are literally trying to “fix” their faces to match a filter because it’s destroyed their perception of their own body, reality.
Social media is not for children.

This move will be as successful as Don Quixote of La Mancha's fight with windmills or Donald Trump of Maralago's fight with modern day wind turbines.

Egypt's take on age verification on the other hand (what do you think):
Egypt introduces a new parental mobile SIM card for children, aimed at safer phone usage. Communications Minister Raafat Hindi announced it will launch within 60 days.
Mohamed Shamroukh, head of the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA), said the child-focused SIM is currently in technical preparation and testing with telecom operators, with a nationwide rollout expected soon across Egypt’s four major networks: Vodafone, Orange, WE, and Etisalat.

Wouldn't a SIM immediately lose its effetiveness as soon as the kid uses public wifi? Which at least in europe is decently frequent?

You sure they wouldn't put in a way to remote disable the sim card in case of "unrest" in the country?

Good. Social media is poison and young people do not have the capability to adequately determine what is true or false on the Internet. They are highly susceptible to disinformation.

How will they check? How will it be enforced?? Certainly not just another way to make you provide your ID online right? Right??

Teenagers talk, and they will absolutely find workarounds. This will only cut off those who are already being sheltered in other ways.
