Rioting Pacifist

So a law that is deliberately done in the least invasive way, sets a president to push invasive and manipulative shit?

Can you explain how? Like in any way? When it’s clearly going to reduce the manipulation of kids.

Sorry it wasn’t you it was someone else who’s also worked themselves into a hysteria about this bill that doesn’t require age verification: https://lemmy.world/post/43924616/22534958

No, people who don’t confidently understand reality are.

You litterally just claimed you don’t send user-agent strings to servers, it’s not surprising some dumber than AI level takes can get you worked up about a bill doing things it doesn’t do.

They still send user-agent strings.

you don’t focus the government to track the speech of everyone through a slow-boil process to make it socially inevitable that our fucking retinal scans are uploaded to a central government database that tracks everything we post online.

Lmao have you actually read what the law actually says.

Lmao Lemmy users proving they are in fact dumber than AI and when confronted with a mass hallucination will call everyone a fed 🤣.

The more deranged you post, the more I’m convinced restricting 13 y/o s access to the Internet (that this law doesn’t do) is a great idea.

Lemmy/redditors can be dumb, the article actually made it very clear the law doesn’t require verification and isn’t that big of a deal.

So you know what astroturfing means?

I’m clearly not presenting myself as a grassroots campaign for something, I’m just laughing at the reddit/Lemmy hivemind’s collective hallucination on this.

How is disagreeing with the hysteria “astroturfing”?

If you’re going to call everyone not on board with your fear cult a bot you could at least stick to your claim instead of changing them.

More AI fearslop

And yet here you are fighting to defend corporations from regulations, somehow thinking you’re not on the side of facism. 🤷‍♂️

everyone I disagree with is a bot

Pathetic!

Hear me out a non-invasive API isn’t some terrible invasion of privacy, you already send user-agent strings to servers.

Quit believing all the fearslop you see online man.

So you agree it’s good to expose them in a limited way between 13-16 so they gain some experience without being preyed on by predators like Epstein and Kotick?

You agree the law is good then or do you think we should hook babies up to iPads to build up immunity like RFK and the antivax cultists that believe in chickenpox parties over regulations.

What control do you think this law puts on devices?

Unlike the lootboxes you think kids should have unrestricted access to, I’m sure the corporations will be satisfied and won’t push even worse technology on kidsm

It’s an open standard that could lead to tighter controls on devices in the future.

You could say that about anything? Are you opposed to oauth/openid because it could lead to tighter controls in the future?

Why deanonymize the devices themselves?

Have you read the law? It doesn’t deanonymize anything.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to require age verification for social media platforms?

You say that like requiring Reddit to do actual age verification is better than your OS asking you to enter your age on your account.

and outlaw online gambling?

I think we should ban online gambling, but that’s also an actual ban instead of the open standards that YOU were asking for.

To tear a company to shreds for getting kids addicted to loot boxes you first have to show they know their targeting kids.

This isn’t about porn, it’s about app stores & Roblox.

IMO it’s Better to support a good initiative than supporting corporations by mindlessly believing all the fearslop generated to protect them.

The laws should be enforcing open standards, not closing things down.

The CA law does push for open standards.

Specifically a standard way for app stores to get the age range of users, the alternatives are:

• Bury heads in sand and let companies target kids
• UK/AUS style bans.

Realistically I think talking about RSS readers as a way to stop kids getting hooked on loot boxes is burying your head in the sand though.
