Whenever you hear "ban for kids" on the internet, read in reality "ID collection by a sketchy third-party company that will definitely use it or leak it or both for every adult."

@Em0nM4stodon Life would be so much easier if people just used @Taler . The issuer of the document could verify the age of the users and they could just anonymously pass this verification to each platform that needs age verification.

@Em0nM4stodon just heard the government in the UK is trying to get YouTube and tiktok to implement age verification so no one under 13 can sign up by saying they're older. Id verification for minors is just dangerous and unsafe.

@Em0nM4stodon Puts everyone at risk, even the kids so truly nobody wins besides an authoritarian government who believes in privacy for some (themselves and fellow high-value individuals) and none for others.

@Em0nM4stodon I mean, terrorism was used as an excuse for mass surveillance. It's good that some people were concerned about the privacy implications but majority of the people didn't give a fuck.
Snowden was deemed a "spy" by the current US president back in fucking 2013 ! And I guess most people just tolerated that shit and now here we are, lol
There were some thoughts pardoning the guy recently but some people in power are opposed to it of course, lmao. I just got my info from Wikipedia.

What I find baffling, is that people on a global scale, do not go on the streets, literally march on the streets, to tell their governments that this totalitarian movement on a global level needs to stop, otherwise we will stop the governments...

@Em0nM4stodon Beyond not helping kids, it actively hurts them. It makes it so the only stuff they can access on the internet is the worst drivel.

I'm thinking this is a meme that goes back to the 1950s, at least.
"Won't someone think of the CHILDREN??!?!?"

@dalias @Em0nM4stodon it feels like the worst and biggest sites on the Internet will be implementing this bullshit, potentially forcing kids to small Internet. And that’s a good thing.

There's a set of plug-n-play tools the #GOP has used for decades (at least) to distract people from what they're really doing
The Children
JOBS
The Troops
WomenThey don't gaf about any of them, but they know we do & play us continually

@PeachMcD @tarheel @Em0nM4stodon
This, to me, is exactly why we're stuck having this conversation again and again. Even if ID laws are repealed or rejected, for that to happen we still have to be the ones forced to explain why the bans are bad. Remember the Clipper Chip? It's so tiring.

@Em0nM4stodon As former kids, we should remember all the ways we effectively circumvented age restrictions placed on us. Kids ain't dumb.

@mandela @Em0nM4stodon 4chan, 8kun, kf, etc. won't be implementing "age verification".
