Background
I think this is an applicable reason as some ways of accessing social media is harmless to children, and certain platforms like capcut and youtube only have relatively no impact on children, however, some, like reddit, should be banned. Also, alternative verification methods for example, ID verification or facial verification are prone to data leaks, and if children are verifying, then pictures of childrens ID's and faces can enter the internet.
