What if we ban computers from using kids instead?

[bedifferent@mastodon.social]

@jbz and adults. Let the dogs and cats fight it out.

[seedsignal@mastodon.social]

@jbz well that’s just crazy talk.

[geoffl@mastodon.me.uk]

@jbz What about if we ban corporations and bigots from running social media.

[grepe@ieji.de]

@jbz you mean people. if you say kids you implicitly create the need for "age verification" which is collecting more data instead of less...

[apostateenglishman@mastodon.world]

@jbz This whole "debate" summed up in nine words.

[the_wub@mastodon.social]

@geoffl @jbz You forgot to ban the billionaires from running "social" media.

@jbz pffffft. Bwahahaha!

[rickd6@mstdn.ca]

@jbz doesn’t follow the gun lobby thought process- it’s not computers that cause the deprivation of kids (people) it’s the people using them? [let us make anything but don’t blame us if you do evil with it]

[bedifferent@mastodon.social]

@ciourte @jbz Yup, just like that. Whackamouse.

[petrikas@mastodon.art]

@pdmckone @jbz how can I make @EUCommission see this? Rather excellent.

[jaharkema@mstdn.social]

@jbz plz. That is exactly the rethoric used for killing privacy and mass surveillance.

@jbz How about having devices designed specifically for kids? No internet access but they can get calls and texts on phones, and off-line only laptops can run the programs they need to do homework and play non-online games. Then, when they're old enough they can own grown-up devices. They have to be of a certain age before they can drive a car or buy alcohol... (Not a real suggestion, but maybe a start for another way to think about the issues?)

@jbz
Could cut into profit margins, it'd never fly.

The problem with these things is that most felons are often still to be convinced. There are a lot of weird people out there.
