Let’s introduce a national digital I’d to stop the kids accessing shit online. And to ensure that we need to make it linked to ur government I’d.
So every person can be identified on whatever sites they do whatever they post.
That’s China. Not America
You could very easily build the system to perform the age check without logging it to the user’s ID since the check only needs to be performed once to create an account and just block anyone without one from seeing any of the content.
Estonia has digital ID based services and they aren’t China. In fact China despises them because they’ve made the cutting edge in digital public services without having to compromise citizen privacy, which makes China look even worse for going out of their way to invade citizen privacy when it isn’t even necessary to offer the same safety measures and services.
Would you give your kids blank plane tickets for them to go anywhere in the world alone ?
I guess not, then don’t give them a internet connected device without surveillance. It’s YOUR responsibility to keep YOUR kids safe not mine. I don’t want to be forced to give MY ID online for YOUR kids to be loose on the internet as much as I don’t want to see your kids roaming alone anywhere they feel like.

What about we introduce more control from teachers and parents about what devices kids have access to, and give them some supervision too while we’re at it?
I propose we take all parents, line them up, and start slapping them in the face until they stop being so fucking stupid.
Alternatively, and more realistically, we accept that gen z and gen alpha are just lost causes and massively invest in schools so maybe in a couple of generations we can break the cycle of stupidity.
That will never work. The people can’t be trusted they must be controlled with an iron fist of justice and glory.
So people can’t be trusted, but you want to give control of everything to one person/group? Sounds contradictory to me.
Daddy government knows best. Daddy government will protect you from thought crimes.
Let’s not be pieces of shit using “for the kids” to destroy basic privacy rights online.
But think of the children they must be protected we can’t possibly expect parents to be responsible so the government must step in to ensure their safety.
Apparently about 10% of people are getting your sarcasm
We’re at a pretty bad part where that type of sarcasm is someone else’s legit stance.
Poe’s law :/
What’s sarcasm?
Stupidity.
You’d what?
I’m surprised that Facebook consistently ranks higher than Snapchat on these charts. I thought younger generations considered Facebook to be for “old people” for just about 7 years now.
It’s just not true in reality though. I see people from young teenagers to people in their twenties and thirties using Facebook. It’s dominant amongst all age groups and the “Facebook is for old people” trope is a myth that needs to die out.
Facebook needs to die out.
I don’t disagree. I’m just saying, it’s still incredibly popular. I don’t even have an account myself.
Maybe it’s because they have to? Keeping in touch with older relatives, following local events, etc
I mean, you don’t need Facebook to do any of those things you listed. People can still call, or text, or use a myriad of different messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, Viber etc.You don’t need Facebook to find out about events or concerts and the like either.
I use discord and text messaging for my family. People keep telling me to get Facebook for marketplace but I’ll use other sites for that.
I mostly use Signal and SMS for a few people. Facebook isn’t worth it just for Marketplace. Online shopping isn’t that important, let alone for second hand goods.
Yeah, apart from what another person said about alternative apps… Events organized by local communities or businesses are often advertised in Facebook only. I know of a few local businesses in my area with Facebook being their only online presence.
And they are shooting themselves in the foot.
It highly depends on country, region, socioeconomic factors etc.
Facebook in Brazil survives through groups, I don’t think people actually engage with the feed, most use it as forum each one inside their own groups.
This what we’re calling gen alpha then?
Apple is gonna love that free advertising
Is it really any worse than Gen X’s symbol of youthful rebellion being a cable TV channel owned and operated by Viacom so they can advertise music that’s been packaged up by the big three labels?
thats how they thrive. remember airpods when they released?
I mean it’s run by the biggest kid, so I guess it’s understandable that they at least want to check out what their like-minded fellow is doing over there.
I hope they turn away in disgust.
It’s an anti-social network, makes sense with the trend of gen alpha sharing less and less, they will stumble through a lot of porn though…

So what. Everyone was on twitter in middle school for me back when it first became a thing. It’s not new news.
Twitter now is what 4chan was then in many ways. This should be disconcerting in the least.
Yeah but 4chan could actually be fucking solid at time, tg was always fun. Oh and the image board format made the schizo posts fucking hilarious sometime. Also my little pony cum jar, that level of degeneracy is far more isolated on twitter.
