We are now being told we need Digital ID, age verification and KYC to "protect kids" at OS level but the simplest solution is the best one. Hear me out:
Keep computers in common areas (kitchen or living room) and delay smartphones. We shouldn't trade everyone's privacy for a problem that can be solved with parenting, love, explaining dangers to kids and stricter corporate accountability.
How hard is this? What am I missing?
@nixCraft You miss the point that the government is corrupt and totalitarian. You can't control or suppress free and sovereign people. That's why "we" need laws to "protect" the kids..
It's just a salami technique from my point of view. -

@nixCraft follow the money
(I don't have anything concrete, but usually when something this dumb is pushed this hard it only starts to make "sense" once you understand what money flows where how.

@nixCraft another thing that is missing is the sheer amount of pressure exercised by other childrens parents who do not mind surveillance, ads and trollfarms having free access to their kids.

@nixCraft Make the creators of content broadcast a flag of mature content. The OS can be configured to read the flag and not load mature content if the adult has turned on content filtering. Problem solved without making private information vulnerable to hackers or corrupt governments.

@nixCraft Could also, y'know, hold the people actually harming children (like facbook with their predatory & manipulative algorithmic feeds) accountable, instead of attacking privacy.

We are doing what my parents did (most likely by happenstance):
Internet-connected family desktop in common room, one account.Any other computers (laptops) not internet connected, curated software.
Phones, not until highschool.

ZERO OF THIS IS ABOUT PROTECTING CHILDREN.
Stop wasting energy arguing about the details, this is what they want.ALL OF THIS IS ABOUT STATE SURVEILLANCE.
Powerful people are pissed off that anyone can be anonymous on the internet, and they would like to stop that, so you can be punished for saying things like #EatTheRich and #FuckBillionaires -

It *is* hard going against the grain. Well worth it, but to constantly be the only parent making your kids wait until 13 for their first mobile phone, you have to put up with a lot of bullshit from every other parent.

The naive belief that your rules in your house apply anywhere else. My first porn not age appropriate was at my aunts house, it was mixed with age appropriate VHS tapes and we kids were sent to the TV room to give the grown-ups space to talk.

But eliminating privacy is the whole point. The Epstein Class has no interest in protecting children. They’re only about protecting themselves and extending their control.

Kids also deserve privacy when using the family computer. I don't believe that computers in common areas solve this.
But parenting, love and explaining will.
