Is it really? Ask yourself, is the oppression of individuals based on age really a positive?
Do the voices, opinions and perspectives of those most impacted by this monstrous lawn not matter to you? Because all this proves is your support towards a fascist regime.
Of course, technological factors such as those you have outlined come in play as well. This law is a stepping stone for a totalitarian police state where everyone is impacted - irrespective of age.
However, the resonance induced in taking control of the corporations, by ultimately taking control of a class of individuals based on fallacious ageist remarks - is what makes this counterproductive, non-inclusive and destructive to trust.
There are individuals within that class that are using their might into defending their human rights, youth rights - and all you're doing with supporting this law is disregarding them and treating them as sub-humans. One group of teenagers used 1984 as a highlight to the situation, and they are right. Ageist, infantilisation doesn't solve nothing.
As stated before, this law has both issues in technological and egalitarian perspectives. And it's up to you to decide if you are really against corporatocracy or if you're just a fascist in disguise.
Yeah I understood what its really about when I read hacker news comments.
