- "It's to protect kids!"
I'm really tired of this. It's so clearly not to protect kids.
HATED AI taking creativity away from humanity. Yet, I've been generating so much content recently. I feel like a hypocrite honestly. Its also been a tool to help me visualise the things im writing but, idk man.
The generated content isnt amazing, I'll still go to an artist
Was going to get the Galaxy 8 Fold, then I heard the government was forcing device level OS scanning.
Samsung, this is a breach of privacy. Apple, this is a breach of privacy. Protect your customers
Reckless Ben may finally be allowed to release Part 3 of his Bricks & Minifigs investigation after a new court filing
Former franchise owners want a judge to change or dissolve the Temporary Restraining Order Ben says is keeping the video offline
China restricts VPNs.
Iran restricts VPNs.
Russia restricts VPNs.
Now Britain is looking at doing the same.
The fact we're even having this conversation should alarm everyone who values privacy and freedom online.
Keir Starmer has completely lost the plot.
We are ruled by idiots.
Do they not know every 15 year old revises GCSE’s on YouTube?
Do they not know that teenagers track their friends are home safely on SnapChat?
Do they not realise that - especially in rural areas with no transport - teenagers social lives are on… social media.
Do they not know that teenagers will find ways round - as has been shown in Australia.
This ban is illogical and damaging.
If I hear another parent say “it’s so hard to police them” I’ll scream. It’s a parent’s job. Take responsibility the children you are meant to be bringing up.
It is not the government’s job to look after your children.
But the government will now insist all adults provide ID to prove we are over 18.
😡
People *need* to understand this: the under-16 bans hit adults too.
Whether you’re 15 or 55, your ability to speak freely and anonymously online is at risk.
This. Isn’t. Just. About. Teens.
The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban.
"Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.
Banning under-16s from YouTube mostly means banning them from logging in, which means YouTube will treat them less like kids and more like anonymous adults. Great job, UK.
@FYMTommyGuru Framing social media like this is exactly how to get freedom taken away from people.
I don't want under 16s on social media. I also don't want government control over social media.
Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
American Fork residents backed Reckless Ben at a City Council meeting following claims of police misconduct in the Bricks & Minifigs case
The meeting ended without the city announcing an independent investigation into the police department
Sorry Belfast, I cannot support these riots! One man in a visa has committed horrific violence, this isn't the time to cause lawlessness on the streets.
Protest at Stormont about the real issues, which is on if they granted a visa to a known criminal, not his skin colour.
🚨REVEALED: The hero from Belfast has been IDENTIFIED 🇮🇪
Maitie Mag Toghearnan has revealed himself as the person with the stick who took matters into his own hands to confront the attacker last night.
Kudos to this man, Ireland needs thousands more just like him 👏
I hate that they didn't kill off Ahsoka at the end of Clone Wars, because that opens up some really dumb plot contrivances. Where was this fully trained Jedi from the pre fall days while Luke was trying to solo Darth Vader and the emperor lol
