Analysis Summary
This is sarcasm critiquing regulatory proposals to protect children on social media โ the post inverts the actual policy (which targets minors, not seniors) to mock the approach. The EU and Australia are indeed moving toward age-based restrictions on platforms like TikTok and Instagram for users under 16, focusing on addictive design rather than blanket senior bans. The post's point is that regulators are choosing crude age cutoffs instead of fixing the underlying platform mechanics that cause harm.
