MODERATORS
Never! How can they scroll their own social media if they have to manage their kids?
You’re obviously a great parent. I’d love to know what tips you have.
Certainly, allowing your kids to browse all the internet, including cesspools such as reddit, facebook and twitter unwatched is a great way of parenting!
If only we had things such as parental controls on these devices and filters to block harmful sites... But alas, none of that exist, so we have to rely on a nanny state.
The biggest excuse you have as a kid is "all my friends have it" with this, there's no hiding
You're not wrong, but it's buying in to the 'think of the children' misdirection while privacy rights are snatched away from the entire population. Fight this on privacy (on the internet) grounds, find better ways to require effective moderation (for example) instead, if it's bad for kids it's likely bad for adults, but not for the profit of the corpos that will just step around or wear the fines while hoovering more personal data. Think in terms of car companies creating jaywalking and then getting the scouts to promote the idea.
I agree with you. We are losing our privacy "because of the children"
My point is that there are websites that shouldn't be visited by a 10yo. And that's enterely on their parents. You shouldn't let your child browse the internet completely unsupervised if you don't even bother on setting some filters for their own safety.
Bit of an ask to give only a month's notice on having to verify every Australian user's age, technique left up to you (but if it's not good enough, massive fines!)
I wouldn't call them "massive fines" since, as per the article, they can be of up to $32M, which, for a company that makes billions, are merely operating costs.
I agree, tho, seems too short for a notice requiring something so big.
Probably the easiest/cheapest way is to just use an existing identity provider and require all users to sign up through there. Wonder how that will affect the userbase...
I for one welcome our future aussie comrades. Maybe aussie.zone can do a donation drive for more hardware or smth?
Hoping to see a surge for aussie.zone
Considering the role Reddit played in spreading Trumpism I dont think this is a bad idea.
Agree. Reddit got spoiled by money and now is a corrupted place. I hope that this platform will soon grow over 1 million in user base size.
How long until they notice lemmy?
