On of my ancestors cut his two fingers off to escape the Russian draft decades and decades ago. I’m not in America and I think I might be disqualified anyway if I were, but I wonder if that’s a modern strategy that could work. It does sound a bit drastic…

It’s more about experience than age. If you prevent 13 year olds from gaining online experience, they’ll have the same level of inexperience when you expose them to the internet at 16.

Not nocturnal? Speak for yourself, maybe… :p

The point is that the internet shouldn’t be censored though, we shouldn’t be giving corporations or governments the keys to censor the internet based on any protected characteristics (one of which is age), even if it’s done in a ‘private’ manner. What comes next? Sexuality/gender verification? You can only view porn if you’re the opposite gender? Race verification?

Also they’ll deny trans kids puberty blockers which are proven to be safe and reversible, and the alternative creates harm.

And they’ll censor the internet for ‘children’ (a 17 year old is not a child) to prevent them finding community, support or education outside their IRL religious and harmful bubbles.

It was never about actually protecting children

I went from windows to Manjaro to Fedora :p

This is just more child abuse disguised as “parental rights”. It becomes clear how harmful this is when you realise that not all parents have their childrens best interests at heart (even if they think they do and sincerely mean well) and allowing parents to censor the information children have available to them allows them to censor information that the children learn only too late to prevent harm.

Either

Amab != men

And I don’t hate either men or humans, I just don’t think the world would be worse without them

I didn’t say the world would be better with less biological males, I just don’t think a lack of biological males will make it worse

And why is that a bad thing? 👀

Doesn’t sound so bad to me

Why is sex important, again?

Little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want those kind of dreams it’s Californication…

Thank you for saying this. It is a point I see too often ignored. Censorship is bad, even if you can do it ‘privately’

I use GUI wrappers for yt-dlp - Parabolic on Fedora GNOME and Seal on Android

Thanks!

Bank cards, loyalty cards, other cards…

Just say it outright what you think or I’ll stop engaging with you

How do you know they know what you’re talking about? Did you DM them? Their public comments would seem to suggest the opposite, and I have no idea what you’re talking about
