@floodpwr @SiGallagher @Kohonos234 @realzoestrimpel That sounds like an extreme case of deflection. You know how easy it is for kids to find hardcore porn here, but you prefer to deflect.

@kevinnbass TBH, Adults shouldn't be using social media. We use the word "social" t disguise the fact that they're just insidious time-vampires that exist for one reason, to scrape your data.

Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"

“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

For those sucking up and regurgitating all the misinformation because it suits the narratives that outrage you:

1) YouTube is not being banned. The under-16 friendly version remains available. Content design for adults does not.

2) BlueSky has not been exempted. No definitive list has been published yet.

Social media was created for adults, not children. Over the years it has been used by more and more by children to access unsuitable, addictive and damaging content. Mental health issues in kids has accellerated sharply since they began regularly accessing this content, including a 50% rise in suicide rates over just 10 years.

If you are outraged by legislation designed to provide significant protection for children, then you are the problem, not the legislation.

@JoshPhillipsPhD I'm Canadian. All of our cities are 15-minute driving cities.

@floodpwr @SiGallagher @Kohonos234 @realzoestrimpel So much talk about algorithms. Here's something for you, do a search for this hashtag and tell me how easy is it to keep it from polluting your timeline. The algo will force feed you porn to keep you engaged. #mvsales

@floodpwr @SiGallagher @Kohonos234 @realzoestrimpel Yes, because no child has ever sought out the things that we warn them are harmful.

@TheBeanEyesOpen are you also okay with her getting fake ID's to buy booze?

@JamesMelville Were you this emphatic when Facebook demanded driver's licenses from drag queens? Were you shouting to protect their anonymity?

@TheHauskarl It's sort of like carding kids at liquor stores, right? That really infringes on adult's rights.

@elonmusk Then why would it need us?

@CarnivoreKing88 Maybe this is why you're not allowed near playgrounds.

@0xToade @realzoestrimpel Is google really the problem or is it the site that designs it's algorithms to boost engagement?

[TQ Boyce - Member of the AI Resistance @TQBoyce]

@floodpwr @SiGallagher @Kohonos234 @realzoestrimpel any resourceful kid that knows how to google will find those hashtags in a heartbeat. So could you if you tried. Hiding your head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist rarely works well.

@KarenJukes2 @realzoestrimpel Maybe the better solution is to clean up this site and reveal exactly what the algos are pushing on people.

@kaurimark @realzoestrimpel It took me all of 30 seconds to google porn hashtags for this site and I'm an old man. A tech savy kid will be way more resourceful than I am.

@Elephantastick @realzoestrimpel Everyone knows that Twitter is filled with some of the worst porn on the internet. If we don't let a 10 year old by hardcore porn in a magazine store then why are we allowing them access here?

[TQ Boyce - Member of the AI Resistance @TQBoyce]

@Average12021279 @realzoestrimpel Buddy, do I look like Grok to you? It took me all of 30 seconds to google porn hashtags for Twitter, you can do the same.

[TQ Boyce - Member of the AI Resistance @TQBoyce]

@wakeuptotheleft @realzoestrimpel That has nothing to do with my question.
