The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Mississippi to enforce a state law that requires the nation’s largest social media companies to verify the age of their users and obtain parental consent for minors, an effort the state said is intended to protect children from online predators cnn.it/41zeYCI
So, wait, for social media, parents have power, but for gender affirming care, parents don't have unlimited power? Which is it?
A huge infringement on the right to privacy. Never scan your drivers license to an unknown third party unless you really want to subject yourself to bribery and identity theft. F the Supreme Court. And I hope civil lawsuits bankrupt states like Mississippi.
I want them to verify if it’s a Russian bot farm.
I don't entirely disagree with the intent here. The internet as it exists today is causing great social harm at a global scale. This solution I don't see as being effective or at eliminating the root cause. This needs to be resolved at a much higher and more comprehensive scale.
Mississippi should also enact a law to protect little children from being f*cked in the ass and being video recorded by powerful men. Men so powerful, that the list of their names, compiled from over 10000 #Epstein child sex videos, even after Obama released 920 Epstein docs in 2024, no list in 2025
But how will they radicalize their alt-right youth?
While there’s some pedo sexual predators at the wh. 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Good luck with that. There’s a reason it’s called the World Wide Web, Mississippi.
Bsky access workaround for Mississippi users: bsky.app/profile/dutc... Bluesky has chosen to block access in #Mississippi rather than risk potential fines of up to $10,000 per violation: www.wired.com/story/bluesk... #AgeVerification #SocialMedia
So, more government regulations.
Nationwide, this should be done, to ensure children are protected--not only from predators--but from porn sites. I don't know what Mississippi has tacked on to that, but it should be solely to protect minors.
Meanwhile, here in the UK I can't read any of my past Bluesky 'chats' here (about gardening and climbing) unless I verify my age first.
That must of hurt.
Sucks
What about guns?
Guns are also very good to protect children from online predators. — NRA rep
Another way to track you and what you do.
In other news, @cnn.com executives allow their in-house Trump cheerleader to be completely and utterly shameless.
Get the Epstein list and condemn the guilty to death in order to scare people from hurting children
Trump and MAGA are evil. Giving kids iPhones before they can read books is a stupid.
