  Using children as a prop is the same bullshit the EU tried not 6 months ago. Police your kids, not everyone else.

    Oh, the EU is still pushing through that anti-encryption shit. It didn’t go away.

  As a former teacher, advisor to a state attorney general, and now an executive at Meta — I’ve dedicated my career to protecting children online.

  That’s an awfully strange pathway to executive at Meta.

    That looks like the standard “this person has pull with the AG, let’s hire them and exploit that for our benefit” move.

  Aren’t these the same guys who have an unenforced policy on minors using their platform? Gosh if they didn’t protect the kids then what’s with the change of heart now?

  Oh, right, protectionist policies.

  Good thing I don’t use or support anything made by Google or Meta. Chrome and all Chromium browsers, Any Android flavor.

      Apple is scary not because what they do, they’re doing great, but what they can do once PR departament allows.

  Gotta protect the children from thing like boobs and the word fuck so they can get them started on what really matters, becoming hopelessly addicted to a social media platform to drive advertising revenue.

  Oh great! Now I have to create a new alt Facebook and gmail account every 18 years? How many more Alt lives do I have to keep creating. This is getting ridiculous!

  Obscenity is not protected by the first amendment.

    What is obscene is subjective.

  I’m happy with age verification. I don’t GAF about whether it’s unconstitutional cos I’m not American and I don’t GAF about the 200 year old opinion of dead revolutionaries

    It’s possible to implement parental controls without breaching the users privacy. For example, a website could have a tag saying it’s for adults only and the browser could check this fully on the client side, and parents would just need to press a checkbox in the configuration to use it. Google has enough clout to pull it off through Chrome, the fact they don’t proves that this is not about the children but a justification to collect more private data.

      Google can do what it likes with Chrome, sure. What about Firefox, Edge, Safari and the others?
