this is backwards. why can't publishers mark pages as child-friendly and then browsers and operating systems can have a child-friendly mode that parents (or whoever the authoritarians are) can use. Laws can target people misusing the child-friendly mode.
It's not about actually protecting children. It's about data.
It's fucking ironic that this article is asking me to register just to read it.
Can was please fucking stop needing accounts to exist online? So fucking dumb
Does anyone vaguely remember those internet licenses from that Star Trek DS9 episode when they went back in time but it was the near future from the 80s perspective meaning that it's actually today?
We're going to have internet licenses soon
Remember guys, they cared about the kids and their online safety as soon as Israel started a genocide in Gaza and they lost control of the narrative. But they didn't care at all for the past 20 years when Epstein and his buddies were running rampant.
edit: clarity
No one needs the internet outside of work. The moment I'm forced to show my ID or get my face scanned, I'm done for good.
Get your coat, we’re leaving.
I don't know what they are thinking, but i protect my ID data more than i protect my credit card data.
This is why the Dark-web exists.
- Tor
- I2P
- Yggdrasil
- LokiNet
- FreeNet
- ZeroNet
- GNUnet (In the distant future)
Did I miss anything ?
Time to buy Death Stranding 2 I guess
If it comes to Lemmy, I quit. I'll go touch grass all day, I don't mind.
I don't see how anybody could come for lemmy. I feel this just attacks centralized services
I will move to freenet, i2p and tor
Tor was a U.S. government supported service and guess who pulled the plug on it.
Really? I haven't really used Tor but I can't find anything about that. What happened?
The Naval Research Laboratory invented onion routing and open sourced the code.
Current US administration stopped funding it as part of their slide towards corporate-driven dystopia, I believe. Tor itself is still out there, just a little more strapped for cash than it used to be.
Using it from time to time and hosting a relay. Works and has been improving over the years imo
Yes, the EU with their draconian and dystopian plans just go over our heads and do it.
All quiet and sneaky, no articles in the sold out press, only small specific outlets or sites that investigate privacy or tech.
If this happens they should check ID at church too seeing as how children are much more likely to be abused or groomed by someone there.
the simulatenous legislaiton from all countries seems very suspicious of a certain foreign adversary backing such motives. this isnt the first things like this happened. just a hunch.
