Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws
gian@lemmy.grys.it 4 days agoWe have given away far too much of our parental responsibility over to 3rd parties, and now we don’t know how to parent anymore.
A responsible parent can do as you say, but there are also not so much responsible parents out there, so maybe we need a backup option in these cases.

The problem with that is that you quickly become responsible for EVERYONE, and then you wind up right back where we are with government bureaucrats telling parents how to raise their children.
If a law or rule can be used to harass otherwise good people, then it will be.
If you give some self-important bastard an inch, they’ll take a mile. Just look at the police.

Ok, so do you think it is better to not be responsible for nodoby ? Good, as long as you are prepared to pay the consequences of this, both at personal level and a social level.
Sadly true, but this do not means that we should not have laws.
