@MarcMillerVM Ya right. It's to ban kids from reading real news and to track adults who call out your bullshit

[Chris Heatherly @chrisheatherly]

I’m actually a child online safety expert and was one of the pioneers in this space with Club Penguin and so I feel uniquely positioned to critique this.

The groomer problem is real but it’s also vastly overstated. The far larger issue we saw at Penguin was suicidality or reports of sexual abuse in the home.

There is no solution for lazy/bad parenting. You can implement all the ID laws you want but if parents are going to just hand kids their phones unlocked, those kids will have access to all the same things the parents have unfettered.

What I found is that these draconian safety laws actually make it harder to be an honest operator of kids apps because on one hand it’s so much legal risk and so much user friction that it simply becomes uninvestible as a business.

Parents will just lie to let their kids use the unfettered internet. For example, I have a friend who works in mobile gaming who has two kids, one above and one below the age limit but separated by just 2 yrs, and the two wanted to play and chat together on Roblox - which is reasonable. To do this, he just verified that his younger kid is old enough for the chat feature when he’s not.

This happens all the time and will happen with these laws to. How far do we want to go with this? Scan the face of the user in real-time to make sure it’s not a kid using the device? We could do that but it feels like a massive unwanted intrusion of privacy.

That’s how you know this law isn’t about kids. COPPA and GDPR-K and so forth already make it illegal to allow chat and other grooming vectors to kids.

What’s really being done here is trying to eliminate online anonymity. And this is a far bigger issue that goes to core speech rights because if you cannot criticize the govt anonymously and if wrong speech is a crime then it becomes easy to identify all the detractors of the govt in power, and ban, fine or jail them for speech crimes.

Starmer has already been doing this and he wants to do it at a much bigger scale. Starmer won’t even acknowledge the problem of actual grooming gangs in Britain’s neighborhoods but he’s worried about online grooming?

No he’s not, and this hypocrisy gives away the game. What he wants is to kill online anonymity so he can enforce censorship of his unpopular policies. No politician should have this power.

@martianwyrdlord They censor on Blue sky. That's the point. You can invade but you won't be able to post anything real

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@MarkJCarney @EmmanuelMacron This is about censoring and tracking all Canadians. Nothing to do with kids.

Josh Dehaas: The Liberals are using the excuse of protecting children to usher in an expansive censorship regime

@CTVNews It's online age verification and tracking of everyone

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@globalnews Censorship and tracking. This is pure evil

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@elonmusk @Inevitablewest They're trying this in Canada next.

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@Keir_Starmer What a joke.

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@BasilTheGreat Of course

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@CTVNews Stop hiding your agenda behind kids. Nothing your government has done on 11 years had helped the kids and nothing will.

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@CTVNews Look who's talking lol

[drstankbooty @drstankbooty]

@CTVNationalNews Hopefully

This is the 11th announcement on reducing food prices from the Liberal government.

Food prices have gone up after every one of the last 10 announcements.

Try cutting taxes. Food packaging costs or inflationary spending that drives up food costs.

Please no more strategies.

@bindelj Not even close to good enough. Quit X

@Martyupnorth It's so retarded that it's hard to believe it's real... But it is

@nationalpost But the TFW program can use all the slave labour they want
