How can you call this good? While I agree there are problems needing tackling, this proposal does nothing to help young adults and the parental consent option seems very likely to create a have/have-not split in child groups which will also have negative impacts.
It looks rather like the “we must do something, and this is something, so we must do this” fallacy being used to exploit child protection to start compulsory ID checks.
Yes, this does smell a bit like fixing the wrong problem mixed with a possible trojan horse for compulsory ID-verification (and the dodgy businesses often claiming to provide it). Surely if social media is too corrosive for young people, there are a lot of adults who also won’t be able to cope, so the corrosive bits need to be tackled?
Why not serif body copy? (looks at most newspapers and books)
Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don’t think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I’m using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I’m pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.
Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.
Has nobody shown the government of Jersey any Strong Towns or City Beautiful videos explaining the damage done by parking minimums?
Is Jersey British? I suspect it’s controversial.

Not sure why this isn’t a crosspost.

Yeah, that’s not how socialism is used in most of the world. It’s to the right of communism, to the left of social democratic, not really encountered the others enough to know where they stand, except anarchism is off on another axis. Communists may see socialism as a step towards them, but socialism doesn’t necessarily mean collectives, as other forms of ownership are accepted. Look at the principles of groups like Socialist International.
It’s more part of socialism than it is of liberalism! Liberals generally want the least property regulation needed for their system to work, whereas socialists want the means of production to be owned by the workers or users, depending what sort of socialists.
Are you confusing socialism with communism? Communism is more likely to say everything should be common property.
Sadly, but which of course doesn’t imply the reverse.
Ugggh, pass the mindbleach for that mental image!
You write like those things are incompatible and liberal socialists don’t exist in most other countries.
NYC has lots of foreign residents and visitors, maybe the most of any USA city, so isn’t a foreign-born mayor there more than merely ‘internal news’? It’s not like the mayoral election of Nowhere, North Dakota.
Blair’s government removed their permission to work while waiting for decision. That seems to have created an immoral incentive for decisions to be made very slowly at some later point, because if the government doesn’t decide, the ignorant can’t complain as much about refugees taking jobs.
8.8 million population, which probably means a bit less than 7 million potential voters because kids and others can’t vote and it’s a relatively young city. Only 5 million registered to vote at present.
So still 2 million is worryingly low, but not as bad as if there were 8m potential voters.
They’ve been owned!
Digital ownership? Games producers want to own players’ fingers now? I guess that’s slightly better than cutting their ears off.
De-googled phones exist, but they’re rooted or using a custom firmware. Usually, these phones spoof Google Play Services, replacing that layer with something called MicroG.
So root and flash your phone today!
I might have upvoted that except how do you define “run by”? Who is the fediverse “run by”?
