Since when is australia the 2nd, considering the amount of discrimination that is persistent in that country. Firstly it was the Aboriginals, now its ageism caused by these “protection laws”.

I’d really consider again if that list is accurate.

This isn’t just seen in the laws. This kind of thing is happening within every perspective imaginable. One example is language, as certain words or quotes are purposly stripped off their original meaning to primarily deceive and fearmonger the people.

Even if they only targeted the plebs, it will completely tank the economy. One of the problems is that they will singlehandedly reduce the capacity of techies and engineers within this country.

New technical people will be hard to come by as there is no means/tools to pursue that passion, other than spending heaps of money.

Linkedin is essentially an electronic circus, nothing on there is worth anyone’s time. Its essentially equivalent to 4chan but for corporate edgelords and bootlickers.

He seems awfully authoritive in this case - paranoid so to speak.

The signs where obvious way before this shit show. Cloudflare, crowd strike and all the others where merely warnings - yet Europe found itself too shallow minded once again.

Centralization is what caused this to even occur - this would’ve been preventable if the leaders actually looked at the signs.

We are in hell.

Always was, just this time Trumpler is exacerbating the overall situation - essentially driving us deeper into the underworld.

Agreed, this problem isn’t just the children - its everybody. Its actually problematic that this is how the situation is perceived, that only a minority is being spoken of. It is a problem of all, highlighting the severity of this situation.

Isn’t this a bit counterintuitive considering the nature of AI 😑

How about revoking citizenship and deporting the borguoise which is in power of this fascist regime - or even better, bring out the guillotine.

It was a pact made with the devil from the start. This is what happens when the USA gets constantly sucked up to because they are the “powerhouse” of the world. The problems where already obvious due to the flawed way everything is centralized towards this country.

As the point stands, the leaders of other countries are to scared to stand their ground against fascist trump. Of course this may change, but the thing is; signs of inadequacy where there from early on, it’s just that only a select few really seemed to care about it.

I assumed it was clear what I meant,

Unfortunately not. There are many individuals which are dissapointed due to the failed efforts of the blanket bans, but ultimately stand for them.

Aside from that, this problem is defacto already partially solved. As you said parental supervision - parental controls are proven to be extremely effective at what they do, if they are utilised correctly.

But even so, you are highlighting the need for separation of developing minds even if that statement has no basis on age. If you’re serious about it, then the whole internet should be designed to be safe for everyone.

I agree, we do.

That is true. The effects of social media shall not be applied to just the children and consequently also the teens, but to all the people. Such laws are basically half measures which do more harm than good.

Regulation is what should be done; if efficiency is what we strive for, why aren’t the corporations responsible for this not being regulated. A safe internet shall be safe for all - It is important to realise children grow up to be teenagers then adults just like everyone, such a disproportionate effort is completely unacceptable.

Why is it that we look at the ways the children circumvent this ban but not corporations? This law is not made for the people, it is made for the corporations.

I’m not opposed to the concept

That’s such a poor way to say that you support blanket bans. Even if it worked, this approach has technological and egalitarian problems which are clearly missing from the scope of such laws.

It is important to highlight that we have teens grouped in there not just the children, so infact this kind of law will be doing more harm than good. But even if the law is rooted on ageism and discrimination, it is clear that all age groups are being violated of their human and youth rights.

Technologically, this blanket ban has no real effect, it has been proven that local parental controls for children and maybe for teens is way more effective - leaving the whole internet ageism free. In reality the internet should be safe for everyone rather than a select minority - taking half approaches like this is just an excuse to further segment the already segmented internet.

In addition, politically, these type of laws should be transparent. No matter what its aimed to do, non-transparent laws shall not be trusted. Open democracy was also what is missing from these laws.
