So is this what the tech bros wanted when they said locked in walled gardens where more secure?

There needs to be a watchdog for the watchdog, because this is totally unacceptable for a official to be this out of the loop on the technology they are watching over.

If they are a professional they should have some clue as to what is going on, but instead they’re listening to their fascist pals.

It first starts with the “children” or the “bad actors/terrorists” and ends with a straight up fascist police state.

Farage will definitively not dismiss this opportunity - this and more is what he craves. Fascism will be pushed harder down the throats of the working class which will go a step further than the already fascist attempts at taking away rights of young people.

While casually performing hostile activity

I agree, at least they’re actually focusing on an actual real world issue that widely impacts individuals. It is to point out, the highlight that only boys are talked about it - is oddly counter intuitive. If equality is the issue, then single sided efforts are going to further reinforce negative stereotypes.

And the point about sex-ed, is that it should be mandatory in education - it is a science like all and it prepares older children for when they become teenagers. Even so, stereotypical differences could be abolished if sexuality was formally talked in schools - after all we are all human, no matter what we have under there.

The only thing that’s important for them and their ego is hallucinating problems and making up solutions which benefit nobody.

We live in an age where children and teens are getting their rights stripped because of said perceived “dangers” - real effort being done into something that will harm everybody. While realistic problems such as starvation and poverty get swept up under the rug.

We shouldn’t be living on the mercy of the bourgeois. Selling our freedom for bare essentials is what will drive us deeper into the slave life they have sincerely made for us.

We may have freedom to sell now, but what happens when we run out of that freedom?

That is true, the problem with nudity isn’t with age anymore - it’s with the perceived notion that nudity is damaging in some mysterious way.

Some countries are allowed to have nudity on tv which brings this indoctrinated viewpoint to perspective. In fact, this is viewed as normal no matter the age in such countries. In addition, sex-ed for older children and teenagers is of higher quality compared to western countries which prohibit nudity.

There already should be a distinction between what is a child and what is a teen - there is a huge difference and these laws don’t take that into consideration. The only thing these laws do is remain as an ageist weapon that create discrimination.

How about just use localised parental controls without this complex police state garbage. In addition, making it 16+ is extremely discriminatory and ageist. A blanket ban which treats teens like children is not acceptable and no individual should feel oppressed under their own law.

I think it’s a big positive

Is it really? Ask yourself, is the oppression of individuals based on age really a positive?

Do the voices, opinions and perspectives of those most impacted by this monstrous lawn not matter to you? Because all this proves is your support towards a fascist regime.

Of course, technological factors such as those you have outlined come in play as well. This law is a stepping stone for a totalitarian police state where everyone is impacted - irrespective of age.

However, the resonance induced in taking control of the corporations, by ultimately taking control of a class of individuals based on fallacious ageist remarks - is what makes this counterproductive, non-inclusive and destructive to trust.

There are individuals within that class that are using their might into defending their human rights, youth rights - and all you’re doing with supporting this law is disregarding them and treating them as sub-humans. One group of teenagers used 1984 as a highlight to the situation, and they are right. Ageist, infantilisation doesn’t solve nothing.

As stated before, this law has both issues in technological and egalitarian perspectives. And it’s up to you to decide if you are really against corporatocracy or if you’re just a fascist in disguise.

Wow more fascists inviting themselves in places they are not invited.

Exactly, to the governments, kids are just tools for mass oppression.

The truth is, the fascists will always relentlessly find another crevice to stick their dirty hands into. A compromise with fascists isn’t a win - it’s a defeat with extra steps. Their so called “risk mitigation” is essentially another way in achieving the exact same thing from another angle.

That being said; the war continues. And while it is good that we avoided this policy - we’ll never actually win until we change something.

We are blinded by the fact that the teens are involved in this too, and they deserve equality as well. The internet is made to build bridges - get rid of boundaries - not set false narratives and infantilise those that are really impacted in this situation and have full awareness of the status quo.

This is a foot in the door technique that uses our deceived emotional manipulation, where our age discrimination is the secret ingredient in this fascist circus.

With the rising popularity of VPNs due to increasingly more countries becoming more authoritarian, I wouldn’t be supposed there will be some anti-vpn directives put in place.

In addition to that, increasingly more selections within vpn profiles will be just as restrictive as the fascist internet at home.

VPNs are a great way to circumvent this police state but it ultimately doesn’t stop fascists and their motives.

Exactly, all the talk about save the children, anti terrorism protection and other authoritarian bullshit is just an attempt to deceive and manipulate the masses.

Police state is what they resort to because these fascist fucks are fuelled by their narcissistic and machiavellianistic desires - the last thing they want is for someone to discover their true tyranny.

It is disappointing to see fascists are slowly succeeding by utilising their manipulative tactics.

We are essentially manipulated into the belief that centralised internet is good and all. This is a push driven by the governments where the whole infrastructure is redesigned into essentially a police state where the only thing left is fascism.

Decentralisation must stay, and developments towards decentralisation must flow faster than ever. If the whole premise of the internet gets breached then it will be officially over, and we will all suffer in oppression.

Illegal content: anything that they don’t like.
