@daz_black Shut down any and all mass surveillance laws hidden under children protection. Hardcore promote the use of parental controls with courses on digital safety and better parenting. Go after the various social media companies and force them to regulate their algorithms.
Fuck all the countries pushing identity verification and attempting to ban all ways of circumventing it. All their politicians deeply in bed with the Epstein class, who all mocked china and russia for suppressing their citizen now attempting to do the same.
I will never give my ID/face, anything to be able to use the internet, to have access to free speech and independent news/media. There will always be workaround.
Once pioneers of the human rights and privacy, now forcing people to bend over.
It's insane that we went from being told and taught not to give our personal information away on the internet to now being forced to verify our identity to be able to use basic fucking internet services.
Every western country and not only, in a snap it pushing the same shit.
If adults are truly concerned about children's access to social media (which is undoubtedly harmful), parents should stop their own children from using it (rather than delegating their parenting to the state).
The same parents who currently give in to the demands of their children will also give in to them after the ban is implemented. As a former headteacher, I worked with thousands of parents. I've witnessed the pattern countless times.
The social media ban for under 16s will do nothing to safeguard children against harm, as evidenced by Australia. In fact, the opposite is true.
The vast majority of children in Australia are still on social media sites, except they're now "adult only" sites.
The social media ban is really about digital ID.
Britain will be one of the first democracies in the world to require IDs in order to access the internet openly.
We are sleepwalking towards a total surveillance state.
@HuanRyder@Arrrrash Centre. West should be even faster imo. My friend group for marathon is all over the EU and when playing together our queues are just as short. Perhaps you're experiencing NAT issues or similar.
