@yoongispotatoes @harleydarlings @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts there is a reason there are educational youtubers who have sponsorships and programs with quite literally the most talented companies in the world

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @harleydarlings @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts one of my university professors actually does primarily lecture through youtube funnily enough

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts a ban that has more downsides than benefits, will likely end up just being used to implement id scanning, and will also be bypassed en masse via VPNs? i struggle to see the rationale

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts who says you can't advocate for both?

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts the point is that authoritarian moves like this are bad no matter the fine details

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts eh i'm doing good enough, got an internship starting soon enough in fact! thank you for your well wishes though. (also the curfew and the ban are part of the same piece of legislation)

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts it's a complete ban for under-16s. they deserve online education too!

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts and before youtube people from disadvantaged areas got lower quality education due to a lack of resources. there's a reason that oxbridge admissions used to be a lot more private school dominated (and even now many areas are underrepresented)

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts if it wasn't for certain youtube channels and videos provoking my curiosity and letting me learn more i likely wouldn't have gotten into the university i'm in now

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts social media including youtube which is one of the pillars of online education

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts re. revision, this online animation helped me understand something i was initially confused about

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts my local library didn't have any books on the things i was learning unfortunately! i'm pretty fortunate now that my university library is legal deposit but i still use a lot of youtube for revision

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts we can when we have access to the internet! it is inherently a democratizing institution which is why access to it should be preserved!

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts also, what if some students want to learn more advanced topics than what they get taught? they should be enabled to do that!

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts yeah because my school was underfunded and we didn't have a physics teacher for part of our a levels
most of what i learnt that got me into university was from online

[Force @force__captain]

@RogerOfBorg @prestonjbyrne @silkiecarlo they invented laptops for this reason

[Force @force__captain]

@Sir_Moanalot_ @ds9trek @iCick_e_Ciak @prestonjbyrne there's still millions of devices and that work and are distributed currently and GOOD LUCK eliminating the grey market for imported devices that will boom as soon as this passes

[Force @force__captain]

@yoongispotatoes @Dylllllllllann @char1iewatts too bad they can't use youtube to learn stuff to help them with their homework

@robotnikhottake @miroyato @Polymarket do you know what TLS and similar protocols are
