Maybe if the porn and social media companies had been a bit more thoughtful about safety instead of chasing profits regardless we wouldn't be here

What do porn and social media companies have to do with safety? This is a non-solution to a non-problem.

Meta has fueled several genocides internationally and has been instrumental in the fascist takeover of the US and other countries, but besides that and maybe the way it’s making kids worldwide depressed and self-conscious, I suppose there’s no problems really

yeah but the problem shit like this aims to address doesn't exist! it's not that problem!

I was just addressing the claim that its a “non-problem”

this legislation is indeed aiming to solve a non-problem. it does absolutely nothing about misinformation or big tech overreach (in fact, getting away with requiring real names and face scans for everything is a dream of big tech and fascists alike.)

Yes, I completely agree, but they’re *claiming* it solves variants of “big tech overreach”

It's not about that. The problem is kids seeing very inappropriate content.

teenagers have been acquiring porn since before computers existed. no matter how much of a surveillance state you create, teenagers will find and look at porn -- whether that's online via shady sites that don't follow the law or via in-person black markets.

It’s not a question of a binary, it’s a question of degree

yes, now they're all going to go to the super shady sites that won't require ID and are full of the most extreme stuff out there! a massive win for surveillance states!

I agree this is a horrific policy, but you keep moving the goalposts - it remains a problem even in the status quo

That’s basically already the case lol

how's that relevant? we have all been teenagers. the reason your kids are weird about women is not porn, it's shitty "alpha" influencers. a problem that this notably does not solve in the slightest

This is about 6,7,8 year olds not teens.

what is inappropriate content and who decides for everyone?

Fascists have had no trouble taking over countries (and kids being depressed and self conscious) long before the first pair of computers managed to exchange a packet of data. Everything has moved online now, including the bad stuff. It doesn't mean that the bad stuff was caused by the move online.

It can be an accelerant without being the sole cause, those aren’t mutually exclusive

The move online broadcast the bad stuff far and wide in a way that never happened before.

Politely, I don't think your opinion is very valid on this in that case. It's a huge huge thing. Ask any parent of school aged kids.
