insane suspicious

Not insane. Coordinated. Organized. Elected.

Folks don't want to hold Nazis accountable for their Nazi laws.

not really. it was a natural progression. with any online movement it always goes undergound > cool > profitable > user blocked > forced. we're at the forced stage of social media. What I mean by this is at one point we found social media and even LLMs cool. companies decided they needed to capitalize on this cool new tech and make a buck out of so they in turn hammered ads and tracking into everything. the user eventually gets wise and blocks all of this while still consuming the product. So said companies now demand that world governments prevent people from out right blocking them so they can continue marketing to them and selling their data for a profit. They then mask this as "protecting the children". All you have to do is look at whose financially backing these movements. Surprise, Surprise one of the top backers/lobbyists is Meta.

It moved quickly because it needed to move quickly otherwise the potential for lost profit was massive. LLMs are getting on board with this too because they're not making any money and their best bet is to "age restrict" their bots so they an sell the users data. and user data from an LLM is INSANELY more valuable than say Facebook user data. Users are more likely to tell a bot things that they wouldn't admit on social media...and there's money to be made off that.

Just the usual Nazi state tracking citizens

Let's be clear, we're providing our biometric data to palantir, that's all this is about

I am sorry, but isn't it 99% not about "children protection" but general surveillance for everyone wrapped up in a "pretty" package that plays, again, on fears as the parenting and unforeseen future backed up with the "time-saving" features for those who are in a hurry within the same system?

This has nothing at all to do with actually protecting children. This is entirely about the fascist state cracking down on its citizens and restricting their freedoms.

Children are property. Government protects property.

Also, this isnt about children and you fucking know it.

"Problem" is, no one does that. And I get that its on the parents in that case but these lazy ass parents basically want the nanny state to nanny them. The people who want this basically are only allowed to get off on being repressed by some controling influence (God, the state, etc).

It also means kids get around it. I used the parental controls on mybson't Xbix but he would just go play stuff at his friend's house.

Also, mildly related, and maybe its changed, companies need to make it easier for parents to remove parental controls. Because if I remeber, back when I did that after he was older (he is like 27 now), it was a pain to remove his Xbox account from being associated with mine as a parent.

if that happens, techies will flee the web to something else. Gopher, Gemini, who knows. And then adapt it to their needs.

"But I'm a League player!"

"We take those."

Not just black bagged and kidnapped to the nearest reeducation center?

I prefer kirked. It was great to watch it, would enjoy watching others that deserve it.

open outlook

Which one? Do you see how unreasonable a standard that is?
