Comment on Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoWe’ve lived through an entire internet without age checks, why is it different now? There aren’t more creeps
I think the big difference is ease of access. For millennials growing up, accessing the internet basically required being at the family desktop in the middle of the living room. Phones weren’t connected to the internet, and cell phones weren’t even common yet.
And kids still got groomed, even when their only access to the internet was in a shared family space. But that began to shift as devices became smarter and more portable. Now, any 8 year old can get groomed in their own bedroom, while simply playing a video game.

It’s not more common at all, we are being played by the media for this very purpose, and there is no reason we should let them win, there’s no reason they should win, they are using dishonest arguments and a majority agree with us in an honest conversation. Let’s’ call them on their bullshit and stop them, then we can keep your less worse option for when something has to be done, and keep it to show how compromising us is the reason, as they refuse the methods that wouldn’t compromise us.
