I am more worried about how this would be enforced. I've heard that China forces the major mobile games to scan the user's face once in a while, which would be horrifying in a similar scenario, especially applied to everything, not just games.
Having social media not be soft-required for school would be awesome though. I hated having to be on VKontakte as a kid and hate having to be on Telegram now.
