And censorship.
Who needs the first amendment anyways!?
Well yeah, yall got so many of those that you could do without one or two
Amendments are just bandaids for a flawed constitution.
Two was supposed to protect one. :(
I don’t, I don’t really even know how the Constitution Act of 1867 has to with censorship.
and child abuse
hot take, preventing kids from accessing information their parents (or the government) deem inappropriate (such as queer resources, abortion resources and sex ed more generally), is child abuse
This cartoon is a classic
never ages, perhaps can be extended as “restriction of personal freedoms”
Big Tech would like to use this to supress open alternatives. Microsoft to stop Linux and that kind of thing.
You misspelled Microslop
I don’t think that"s the reason for the absird lobbying, which is why it’s getting through.
Governments aren’t that competent to get this through at scale, but corporations can and have a very good reasob to do so.
I believe that it’s a lot more probable that the reason is profit - social networks have a problem with bots. Advertisers don’t want to pay if 90% of impressions are bots, and you can’t really solve that problem easily.
Age verification by ID solves this, and if they even can lobby hard enough to outsource the costs to mandatory OS level veryfication, so they just call one OS api, it’s even better.
Surveillance by a government full of pedophiles!
They need new sources.
Didn’t even try hard to hide itself.
They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore
And they will get away with it.
With a big push from Meta
I so wish people had just gone “nah, no thanks” to Fecebook when it first came out.
It’s the pile of shit that keeps on giving.
But what about the chiiiildrennnn?? Wont anyone think of them?
This is propaganda buuullshit. This is governments selling mass surveillance pills to the public.
Just like Iran crack down by the US. Funny how US intelligence had 100% certainty of existence of weapons of mass destruction and 0% certainty of their location in Iranian soil
Sqw a hypothesis where Facebook and other companies lobbying for this were doing so to keep
clankbot accounts out of the data they’re scraping from social media sites. Seems pretty likely to me* government + corporate surveillance
Always has been.
Not to mention corporate surveillance. Companies would love to know your age.
The mask wasn’t even very good at concealing. Practically transparent.
