What if we ban computers from using kids instead?

@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...

@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.

@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?)

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.
