We already have content restrictions in place to âprotectâ under 18s whether theyâre mature enough or not to see porn or gore. Physical and digital media have PEGI, BBFC, etc. ISPs have parental control - the UK has Content Lock. We have parents with personal preferences for their offspringâs access.
National or global censorship is useless. In their quest for power the corporations and governments are trying to turn the internet into a child-friendly internet. If these are the lengths theyâre willing to go to, if their intentions were honest, it would surely be easier to let the adults have the freedom of adults and build a second internet for children. Maybe age lock that. Instead of killing everything consenting adults made.
Just imagine the change that could go through social media platforms if, instead of censoring their content, users would just share links to platforms which allow them to freely share without unnecessary censorship.
On the other hand Iâm a bit scared of what the rich assholes would come up with instead if they canât work themselves off at the enshitification of reddit et alâŠ

There are already multiple search engines only for children. Itâs only excuses to seize power over people.
