  Yeah, I hate that our only two realistic options are allowing companies to self-regulate or age verification, but age verification feels like the lesser of two evils. We’d need to see much more immediate and catastrophic effects for the government to force social media companies to give up their algorithms and actually moderate without using imprecise LLM’s and automods.

    Forcing people to give their picture to Peter Thiel is not regulation. Age verification laws are giving companies more licence to abuse users, not less.

      Respectfully, I’ve heard all the arguments and do not care to litigate it again.

      What you and I think is immaterial. These are the only realistic outcomes in the current ecosystem. You can go have pointless arguments about it with someone else.

        I’m gonna make a statement and then say I don’t want to talk about the thing I just brought up.

    I vote for a universal shutdown for anyone who starts discussing harmful topics… But you’re right, that is pretty unrealistic. Government regulation is either going to be non-existent, or based on non-existent dangers made up by AI CEOs

    Bullshit. Tell me one reason why can’t a gocernment decide that the algorithm is bad and let the company choose in removing the algorithm or become banned in that country.
