But in reality this would not hide age, for example if a child signs up for Facebook, the only information revealed is that they are <16 years old. But once they turn 16, they want to have an unrestricted Facebook experience, so they will send a new token to Facebook, showing that they are older then 16 now. Facebook can now record the day the user does this and will now know the approximate birthday of a person. Sure, the user might not do this right on their birthday, probably in a span of a few weeks, but they will still have a good understanding of the age. This system would still be better then having to reveal your whole Id with all details.

That's kind of the same thing. They don't improve their moderation because they don't want to take down scams, so they can make as much revenue as possible.

I saw that Deep fake Elon ad on my phone and on a small screen i didn't notice the small mismatches. Especially in the first 20 seconds it is spot on. I mean i didn't fall for it either, but i totally see how other people could fall for these deep fakes. Obviously, they do, otherwise these scammers wouldn't have the money to run these ads.

I was also spending way too much time on YouTube, but found a way to cut down on the time. I made my own YouTube app that simply removes the recommendations. Those recommendations get you to watch video after video, without them, YouTube turns from an addiction machine into a useful tool to learn new things.
