If any platform or service I use starts gatekeeping behind ID verification, I will be dropping them. None of you are important enough to me to justify risking getting my info leaked by your shitty security practices.
Age verification is a giant scam and is just an excuse to track people.
If you are a parent and are concerned about what your child is looking at, then use parental controls.
I believe it is the parents responsibility to monitor what their child goes on, not the platform.
Whether you agreed with him or not, Charlie Kirk is dead purely because some people didn't like what he had to say. That should outrage every single one of us.
I hope I'm wrong.
But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.
Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.
I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.
But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.
Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.
But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.
I hope I'm wrong.
Every American should be absolutely furious right now.
Charlie Kirk has never once encouraged violence against any political group, and he was just shot at an event in Utah.
Never advocated for anything except peace.
An absolute outrage. There are no words. Pray for Charlie.
@MrBeast Why are so many hating on MrBeast for this? You can say whatever you want about anything else he's done, but what specifically is wrong with this? It seems like people just hate that he's helping people.
So do Parental Controls and the ESRB rating system not matter anymore?
Like don't we already have systems in place to "Think of the Children"
We all know the ID stuff is about data collection.
Here is my take on the children internet safety act, besides that its misleading and clearly targeted towards adults:
It is not a website's responsibility to determine if a visitor is 18+, it is the parents responsibility to make sure their child isn't visiting 18+ websites.
Global censorship is being rolled out all at once packaged as “protecting the kids.” Hope y’all are awake. This isn’t a drill. Your rights are currently being stripped in real time.
