    Can we stop needlessly sharing Elmo’s deranged utterances? The topic of social media policy (much as anything else) is too important than to concern ourselves with his weird tweets.

    If teens and preteens aren’t on social media, how will the pedo-rape crew that hung out with Jefferey Epstein groom them online? Someone please think of the poor, downtrodden richest man on earth, for ONCE PLEASE.

    This wouldn’t be the first time Spain has fallen for nazi politics. Now the nazi scum are trying to do it again. Luckily the current PM knows better than to listen to the nazis.

    Who cares what a delusional midwit mass social criminal says or thinks? Let him scratch it on his cell wall in supermax.

    He’s right, we should outright ban X entirely in EU. Besides some right wing extremists, no one will care.

    Broken clock is right, but for the wrong reasons (i.e. like a broken clock).

    age-gating social media = obligatory ID verification for social media access

    Do you trust your government to handle your ID data safely and in a way that law enforcement etc. can’t access without proper cause? This is definitely going to get used to do police raids and years-long device seizures on people who call dick politicians dicks - the process is the punishment.

    If you actually want to protect children, force operating system manufacturers or home internet hardware manufacturers to implement child filters that work reliably.

      Child filters isn’t nearly enough. It’s the addictive nature of the apps, created by algorithms that are cooked up by psychiatrists, behavioral scientists, and experimentally and iteratively “improved” by AI - algorithms that could potentially be used for other things than just making an app “sticky”

      You’re right about the privacy concerns, but the conclusion should be to have rules so strict that it is practically banning X, Meta, TikTok, et.c.

      Your government likely already has your ID data that law enforcement can see. I much rather trust the government (or banking systems like in Finland) to handle the age verification than some private enterprises that can be hacked and the information stolen, like already happened with Discord.
