Comment on Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 week agoThat’s actually much better than what they’re currently doing. If all you had to do was verify with your phone that you are >16 it would mean that each social media app and then every other site that the government demands do age verification doesn’t need to verify you. It means you only verify once, on your device.
Unfortunately that’s why they’ll never do it - the government wants to ram through a universal digital ID, and this is how they do it.
Absolutely not, nothing good can come of this. All youre doing is giving more power to Apple/Google to control everything youre allowed to do on your device. You now have to have an approved phone, with their approved Operating System, apps installed via their approved app store, an approved browser… Etc etc.
That digital ID stuff is horrible as well, they already tested it during covid with the checkins nonsense.
Better for what? So they can indoctrinate kids into normalizing absolute government overreach and a further slide into a technofascist state?

No fucking way. This is not a valid solution.
Don’t you learn from history?
You have other way than locking and taking the control of everybody computer (as smartphone are today).
Look how the corporation are trying to reduce our liberty by removing us the choice of choosing our marketplace, locking our applications, removing our capacity to say no to IA, actively scanning our photos, videos, making link between our contacts, our needs, our interests.
This is already to much power too give to external people.
And you want to give even more? The total control of what can be used on it?
Are you that blind?
For this problem, only one solution: parenting!
Stop deporting local issue to worlwide consequences.
Discussing with the kids about the risks and why they should be wary of these social networks for their future is the only way.
These platforms are no different than drugs and alcohol. You can deal with it with good parenting.
And definitely by not screwing everybody else with more control. It’s just an excuse anyway. And it’s far far far worse that having gouvernement ID card.
We all have one here, than doesn’t block us to manifest.
