Die EFF gibt sich afaik größte Mühe, eben das zu tun. -

@eff
It's an attack on the privacy of all adults.It's really about universal surveillance, not about protecting children.

@eff my nephew in the small teens has literally been using YouTube to learn programming. While a lot of content on YouTube is of questionable quality, this would actually hinder his ability to learn a useful skill were it to happen in his country.

@eff Sad that most Indonesian people supported this regulation...
While there are some critiqued about the concern of privacy (but this is so minor).
Basically, most Indonesian literacy on privacy are so shallow even though they are screaming if there is a huge data breach.
I hope better things happen.

@eff Having spent time in multiple "unfriendly" locations I appreciate privacy/anonymity *more* than the next guy, but we can't allow our kids or ourselves to be subjected to the type of industrial level manipulation now going on.
Likewise we shouldn't allow those industrialized manipulators to exist on the platforms we inhabit in the first place
If that wasn't enough, many/most platforms are owned, run and manipulated by nefarious/greedy owners sycophantic to a hostile non-democracy (you know which ones).
There is a technical fix, but one with a caveat (i.e. 'becoming of age' may reveal the fact).
Every citizen in a democracy could be issued with an anonymous digital token (multiple; one spun off the original for each use/platform/purpose so they can't be cross-referenced) that simply verifies this person qualifies to participate on, um, participating platform.
Maybe I'm a little naive and willing to trust my own government — left, right or centre — unlike the majority of humanity these days, but this current uncontrolled lab rat experiment is harming all of us and destroying discourse between verifiable human beings.
(I know some under-18s are way more mature than many nominal adults will ever be, but a year or few of additional mental peace has never harmed anyone like exposure to the industrialized manipulation would.)

@eff the responsibility needs to shift back to platform owners.
If you are profiting and can't keep a PG/R...
Oh now, there's an idea...

@demi7en the open source Yivi application can provide such functionality.
