Comment on France VPNs might be banned amid SREN Bill's new "unreasonable amendments"

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

I’ve taught my daughter to use a VPN here in the U.S. There’s “Kids Online Safety Bill” making it through congress, and if it passes, kids won’t be able to access all kinds of websites. Porn, yes, but also just websites about LGBT+ stuff which are perfectly safe for kids. As I have a queer daughter, I want to make absolutely sure she can access those sites if she needs them.

Sorry but I am curious, how did you find out your daughter is queer ? Is it the behavior towards other girls ?

  Because I talk to her. You know people talk to their kids, right?

    OP is probably assuming your daughter is very young and may not know herself.

    Nope, she’s 13.

May I ask how would the “Kids Online safety bill” differentiate between an underage user and adult? I’m not from the US so that’s why I don’t know

  I don’t know. From what I can see, that hasn’t been made clear yet. I am guessing, like porn in several states, IDs will be required to access things like TikTok or maybe even YouTube because it requires them to filter content for minors.
  
  There’s a reason anti-LGBTQ bigots love it.
  
  But even if that doesn’t happen, it allows for parental surveillance, and I want her to know that I don’t have the option to do that to her even if I wanted to. It should go beyond mere trust.
  
  If she VPNs to Canada, none of those issues will be things she has to care about.

  Oh it’s such a fun and novel and not at all dystopian idea they’ve come up with.
  
  Content requiring an adult will just require some kind of identification, surely you can’t be against providing your ID to any website that hosts adult content or that website checking/accessing/logging with a national archive that you visited said website, right?
  
  So far, no concrete things put forward, but all of them seem to be related to an ID-required system.

    I wonder how many people will send their IDs to porn hosting services

  That’s the big question no one has an answer for
