Yeah no shit.
I wanted to view an account. Do to that you need to make an account yourself. So I made one, solely to look at this one account.
I was dragged through this long set up process where I said I was into trains and technology. What was the first thing they served me after making an account?
A tweet celebrating the death of a black 14 year old murdered in London by a white guy with a Samurai sword alongside a load of right wing tweets.
Same with reddit. Needed to comment on something: said “I like Trains and Linux”. What did they give me? Ragebait from various UK subs.
I hate the outrage economy and it’s why I love Lemmy and Mastodon.

Ngl, right now I’m endevouring to acquire more music in digital file format rather than streaming right now. Spotify is great, especially when your looking for individual songs that you’ll only listen to a handful of times, and for discovering music, but once you lose access to it you’re pretty fucked.

- Comment on Australia to ban under-16s from YouTube 6 days ago:
You joke, but the “could” there is loadbaring, because it could mean literally anything. The people who decide this are the website or the government, and the government isn’t telling us what “could” means.
In short, anything the government wants age gated can the age gated and websites are over-age gating to cover their arses just in case.

The UK: We just age gated all content that we decide could be harmful to children, resulting in mass surveillance, scams, and dodgy VPNs.

- Comment on UK Government responded to the "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Petition. 1 week ago:
The TL;DR of it is “we’re not repealing it, get fucked.”
The technology minister said on Sky News that if you was to repeal the act, you’re on the side of Jimmy Savile.
That’s where we are in all this, support this or you’re a nonce.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 1 week ago:
An copyright law is pretty similar in every country, or at least has a version of it. Japan’s copyright law is so strict you can’t even mention brands in media and has no version of fair use. It’s why in Anime, when illuding to trademarks, it’ll be something like “Sany” or “Destiny”. This however, does not mean that I, in Scotland, am forbidden from making a video where I mention the words “Sony”, “Disney”, “Greggs”, and “Tesco”. Every country has different copyright laws and on the internet they seem to take a middle ground.
Porn on the other hand is very different with very different laws and very different ideas. For example, Porn is illegal in South Korea. No “JAV” where genitals are blocked out, porn is straight up a crime. Where I live however, it is legal, albeit on the internet you have to go through an adult verification thing, which is easily bypassed. Each country does not have a universal standard law on pornography or what counts as such. There’s proposed laws in the US for example which could see the mention of queer people as counting as “pornography”. Not the depiction, just something like “Leonardo Da Vinci was gay”. That’s why people in the UK are worried because the law doesn’t just cover pornography and covers “sensitive content”, which, you know, could be defined at some point to include anything.

That requires effort, which most parents are unwilling to do, and newspapers will still want it banned and governments would still want to ban it so they can ban other things too.
