I mean, all the steps leading up to that take way more than a few seconds, including…getting the email. This seems like someone misspeaking or not understanding what’s going on…

A couple minutes?

Why would they ever listen to that dumbass, who’s involved with the countries attacking them?

No you’ll be called a Russian bot for the needless bothsiderism you threw out as a completely unrelated response to what you were replying to.

Like, holy shit dude. When someone points out Republicans doing bad, you don’t always have to jump in with a much longer complaint about Democrats doing shit too. Time and a place.

They won’t attempt to stop doing the things the country hates, however…

Need to stop letting Netanyahu act without consequences.

I mean, No Man’s Sky notoriously did not deliver on its grand promises…for at least 2 years after its initial launch.

It’s not slippery slope when places are ALREADY implementing similar things, and there’s multiple companies (like palantir) heavily involved in surveillance on a national/international scale that are pushing for this.

Less good is better than missing entirely…

Patents are a way to spread knowledge, whole still offering some [time limited] protections. Before them, trade secrets were the norm, and way too much knowledge was lost with it’s creators.

You’re trying to constrain the conversation to not include the overall push towards exactly what I’m talking about. This specific action was in anticipation of what I’m talking about. You’re naive if you think this is where they’re stopping

No I’m not. If your PC has a flag that tells a website it needs to block that PC from viewing it…that is information that does not need to be shared, and can be abused by the Epstein pals that are pushing this legislation.

Even broadcasting that the user is a minor is idiotic.

It’s not FUD. This is an assault on privacy.

What I said makes perfect sense. Instead of having every computer tell every website that it needs to censor itself, have the content filtering done locally. That’s the smart way to enact this - if it weren’t just an obvious an excuse to ease us into online ID verification, and not actually about the children.

And artificially pumping up the price of games because steam has to have the lowest regular price (so even if another platform takes less than 30% gouge, they can’t offer the game for less than steam sells it for).

But people here will jump from the throat of anyone claiming they have any anti consumer policies

Having read one of them, he’s right: They’re not good. The writing is very basic. There might be a cool story in there, but it’s not executed well.

Having a neon sign pointing out that this user is a child is not much better. Literal friends of Epstein are involved in backing this idiotic law. That should tell you something.

False.

Web Content filtering has existed in some form for decades. This method they’re proposing isn’t going to be any more successful at it than what’s already out there-especially since kids are the excuse not the goal.

NO!

Content filtering should be local. Don’t broadcast people’s ages to the entire Internet. This is not only NOT the only way to do it, this is the dumbest way to do it.

Parents could actually parent, instead of relying on the government to nanny your children.

We don’t need this at all. The filter should be local. The content flag should be the thing broadcast. Flipping it is insanely idiotic.

In fact broadcasting to every website that a minor is viewing is the worst thing you can do to protect them.

Stop letting the fascists frame the narrative.

We don’t need local values at all. Computer should not be broadcasting personal identifiable info to every single website and cookie out there, regardless if it lets you lie or not. That’s fucking idiotic.

If you want to do what these things claim to be for, and protect children, you make websites contain a flag for content rating and local devices do the filtering.

Not the other way around, which is only useful for tracking. Most websites aren’t going to bother to follow through on it, anyway, why make it even more difficult and unlikely they do so?
