Many users do not desire to interact with underage users for many reasons. Some underage users may wish to opt out of seeing 18+ users so they may bond with people closer to them in age or perhaps for safety. I think a functionality to

  • mark your account as 18+
  • hide content from accounts who didn’t mark self as 18+
  • hide content from accounts who marked self as 18+ would be very useful to those users and set a higher standard of personalized experience for users engaging with social media.

    This will just mean that those under 18 will mark their account as 18+ and we are back where we started.

    And if it did work, it will allow those adults who want to groom children to easily target them.
