@froztbyte @Em0nM4stodon I don't disagree with you. I did say that I felt the message is starting to get through slowly. You mention people leaving discord; I also have decided to leave a community I'm part of on there, and communicated why I was doing so. But I don't think anyone else there took the same decision. And I know many people IRL who would think I'm being paranoid. So while the mass of people who "get it" is growing, I think it is still small and unlikely to turn the tanker just yet.Note, I think it's a good start, but I think the problem now is not so much companies as it is government policy. The apps the companies built have been a vehicle for harm to children. Frightened and hurt parents are one of the most highly motivated lobbies out there, and between them and the tech companies, our governments have been persuaded to embed exactly what these companies want into national law. And it's only just happening now, so no government is going to reverse direction on it anytime soon. To change it is going to take a long time, and it's also going to require finding a solution that satisfies those campaigners for child safety. That's why I think it's going to be slow.
