it won’t be much better in the US if the government has their way. age verification, blocks on porn sites, restrictions on VPNs, this is all stuff that’s been done or is currently being done. it’s a slippery slope that’s only going to get worse until the internet is an experience that is carefully curated by the current administration.
You are living proof of why SJW’s are so insufferable.
Nothing matters more than orthodoxy, not even the fact that we’re raising a generation that can’t focus on anything cognitively for more than 60 seconds.
You people keep repeating these platitudes as if there aren’t a lot of useful products sold that are literally harmful to kids. (And purposefully designed to not be save for children.)
Just like how expecting people to recycle was bad policy.
Though I wouldn’t be opposed to there being statutory regulations against parents whose kids get addicted to these applications and end up self-deleting or causing harm to others, not unlike how we’re seeing the state start to go after parents who fail to secure their guns. But just trusting parents to parent isn’t an option anymore. There’s simply too much evidence of the harm these applications cause.

“It’s for the CHILDREN, you COMMIE!”
People keep repeating these platitudes as if digital products aren’t literally harmful to kids. (And purposefully designed that way.)
But okay.
Please keep repeating this propaganda as if it were true.
Australian studies have shown that the social media ban is harmful for children.

🙄Who uses “SJW” in 2026? At least call me woke or whatever.
Maybe money should be dumped into education and evidence-based science… instead of what people “feel”
thanks for putting such a big smile on my face, taking me back to a time of sjw’s.
your username is a perfect representation of your views on lemmy dawg.
TL;DR
This screams: “I don’t want to parent my kids, so let the government do it instead, and do it to me too along the way.”
Do you really not see how that takes away your own agency? Both in terms of raising your kids and your own privacy.
By all means, utilize the parental controls on your children’s devices to keep them away from harmful content.
But keep the government out of people’s personal devices, and stop attacking the basic concepts of anonymity, privacy, and data security.

Do your job as a fucking parent.
They don’t. That is why regulation is necessary.
