Life finds a way
@vowe It reminds me of my grandmother who got a discount at the cinema by wearing a long coat and sitting on her sister's shoulders (she was a tad on the short side). No matter the era, children will always find a way.

@vowe@social.heise.de This is probably the first time in history that young people have rapidly found a way to bypass measures put in place by adults to restrict what they can do and shared it amongst their peers. -

Good for them! I have high hopes for their future creating problem solving skills

@vowe
part of the evolutionary act of mimicry for survival that has translated in humans to all forms of art, and acts of subversion. One must wonder where for each child the line of wise restriction and the necessity to break the locks preventing them from greater existential truth is? -

when i was a kid they scrambled the crappy porn channels so we had to steal dad's porn. internet changed all that. kids figure things out. it's what they do.

@vowe kids are amazing

@vowe Yes, but the aim of this story is to call for more online surveillance for all. It's saying exiting measures to protect children aren't working so strong ID checks are needed.

@vowe
If that is all it takes to get passed this system, it is a bit useless.@Mediocreman @vowe it was never supposed to be useful. Just scary. And I'm glad to hear about people refusing to be scared.

@vowe imagine being a kid back in the day, vandalising posters with mustaches and when you turn to an adult you force children to do it to themselves
Now that is an evil villain alright -

LOL, shows how bad these systems are eh,

@vowe i wish i could see this as a win, but it's not. these kids now have their faces on some surveillance database that will inevitably be breeched or used to extract metadata which can be sold to targetted advertizers or the like. the surveillance is the point and this failure in the system only lets them collect more data on even more vulnerable people

@lydiaconwell @vowe Almost like they expect kids to circumvent it instantly requiring ever more draconian verification intrusions into people's ability to roam online anonymously.

@nini@oldbytes.space @vowe@social.heise.de Now I'm suddenly really hoping the fact that my kid's school "shadowbanned" MS Teams doesn't result in him trying to find illicit ways to continue to use Teams.
