@ChrisMayLA6 @quixoticgeek the key argument is not that it’s unenforceable, or unworkable… it’s that *children (and adults) have a right to communicate*Imagine it was the 80s and righteous campaigners said that children should be banned from using telephones because they might talk to *bad people* This is not to let anyone off the hook in terms of safety - we have a duty to educate, to moderate, to regulate. Blanket bans and age gating is all about letting platforms avoid that.

@essjayjay You sure, though? Seriously, give the episode a listen - it's more bonkers than even I thought, and I've been paying pretty close attention & did NOT go into it with high expectations...

@voxel You can't separate these two things from each other.Me helping people on here is directly because of the awful behaviour of corporate social networks.If corporate social networks are pretending to be decentralised and hosting vile people that promote war crimes, it is important to warn people. I warn people for exactly the same reason I post tips.People are getting harassed, kidnapped and murdered. This is a 1930s point in history, politics is not optional.

@ChrisMayLA6 As a former marketer I built dozens of websites & filled them with text & I can say with absolute certainty, none of it counted as interpersonal communication - and neither did 95% of the social media content I also made for my clients. I refused to work for shitty companies & fought to keep my clients honest, but that doesn't change the fact that the share of all this content that's people communicating with each other rounds down to 0%.
