This isn’t a physical place, this is the internet. Parental controls exist specifically for this situation. Also at least personally, my parents did not let me go anywhere solo when I was 12…so 12 year old me would’ve never made it to a strip club.
Just to play devil’s advocate. Until rust gets a production ready GCC backend or LLVM gets more esoteric HW support there are probably some platforms that cannot run rust. That being said… realistically I think by the time rust becomes a large enough part of the kernel for it to matter the issue will have been sorted out as there are already 2 GCC implementations of rust in development…
Hmmm, that’s a hard one for me. They’re both very bad but personally having to submit ID makes me less comfortable…that being said I wouldn’t call government censorship a win either. Maybe the main reason I find ID to be more concerning isn’t because of some objective reason but rather because it’s in your face rather than being in the shadows and humans don’t do well with threats they can’t see. Ultimately I think you might be right and I’m not advocating for either…just saying that currently the US cyber laws make me feel less ICK… although that might be a very subjective viewpoint. I think the real take away is all western nations seem to be going down a kinda bad path but that also isn’t new unfortunately.
I’m not sure how take it down is related. It is unfortunate how broad the scope can be but in my opinion it’s still less of a violation than being required to dox yourself to use services.
This is truly insane and it makes me glad to be in the US…for now at least. I believe at least one state is doing something similar…hope it stays confined to that one state…this is one of the most blantat privacy violations I’ve seen in a while.
EDIT: Great…looks like we have KOSA to worry about.
This tbh, age verification SHOULD be a parenting issue not a state mandated issue. If the state wants to make it an issue it should be on the parents to at least be a trusted party.
Probably also depends on what country you’re coming in from. I have virtually no social media presence myself but when I came back to the US I didn’t even have to speak to CBP, they had an automated facial scanning system and just required you to be holding your passport. This is as a citizen, I’m sure the process for foreigners is less lax.
Routers have parental controls, if your kid can figure out how to bypass that then they can figure out a VPN and it’s a moot point anyway. I have no idea what 3 button system you’re talking a out here. I don’t even get the analogy you’re trying to make.
