In Australia we are less than 100 days away from having our biometrics harvested by social media platforms as a part of the reform's to block social media usage for under 16s. Whilst I absolutely see the merit in limiting social media usage for children to avoid all kinds of harms I'm most concerned about how the platforms will implement this and have no faith they are doing it with the users best intentions. If anything I think it will be used to train their algorithms, build out their networks and harvest even more of your data and user statistics to further their main interest, which from what I can see is growth and profits. It's utterly horrifying really. #privacy #socialmedia
