Just watched a whole skit in my head of a kid drawing a mustache on to go online, then mistakenly getting caught in a swarm of biznessmen on their way out of a martini bar from lunch, and he ends-up working as a vp with them forever.
Forever.
For. Ever.

Everyone understands that we are not banning the kids from socials in any real or effective way.

What we are doing is banning social media from our kids. Here in Manitoba, AI bots too, which is even better news.

Cause the thing is, they already know who is using the social site, they know everything, we've been obligingly helping them to setup the surveillance all along.

This idea that requiring a credit card or some such to use adult-oriented sites is somehow the final step is absurd.

But if they are found to have knowingly allowed kids to use the sites (and again, they absolutely do know who is at the keyboard, even if multiple people are using the same computer) and not kicked the kid off, that needs to make them legally liable, and if a kid ends up damaged in any way by it (ie. they are lured, for instance) the liability should be criminal.

At the moment it's "let the kids go on the internet anywhere because free speech!"

We are living in the 'Age of The Onion' 🧅

Data protection and privacy of information are mentioned... but not strongly enough. People don't realise privacy's gone until it's too late, I think.

Sounds like a scene some silly 70s movie

Duchamp lives!!!!!!

LOL, shows how bad these systems are eh,
