> The only way law enforcement should have access is if they show up and get the phone in their possession, with a warrant. Which could happen any time some teenager posts something without realizing it identifies them.

It’s beyond crazy that we’re actually talking about police showing up at someone’s house because they suspect a social media post came from an under-18.

This is one step away from your local government unmasking their Internet critics and sending police to their house by “suspecting” that they might actually be a minor.

> If the teenager has your full credentials, that's when law enforcement sees who you are, and can take whatever action we deem appropriate. I would think just revocation if you might have been hacked, more severe if it's clear you shared on purpose.

Why would you assume the person giving out the token is in the same jurisdiction? The tokens would almost certainly be coming from another country.

The police aren’t going to be tracking down teens, confiscating their phones, running forensic analyses, and then doing the work of getting tokens revoked through a possibly international process. They barely have enough time to show up and take a report when someone does minor physical proper damage.

All this does is open up the process for targeted abuse when governments or police need an excuse to go after someone posting on social media.
