1. Don't assume Meta is anything other than a state propaganda and surveillance apparatus.

2. It's onerous for upstarts, so it entrenches Instagram and Facebook.

3. Guaranteed knowledge of who everyone is, and their web browsing activities, furthers their surveillance ends.

4. If you keep people off until they're adults and then throw them in with no guidance, they'll have an even worse time. Which is good for propagandizing.

5. They get to collect biometrics from everyone, even the underaged ones who attempt verification. All the better to build panopticon, along side Clearview and Flock.

6. The Heritage Foundation wants it, and everything else on Project 2025 has been proceeding as planned with lackluster resistance, so why would this be different? (Spoiler: the next part is calling everything they don't like, such as LGBT people being visible or alive, as "harmful" and using these new surveillance tools to deal with that.)
