  • why are the harm reduction methods we have now not being used?

  • setting that flag involves the leakable process.

  • have you seen any existing tools be so bulletproof that kids cant get around them?

  • exactly. so why do we need more laws that also happen to provide massive leak able tracking to corporations and govs without warrants, etc?

  • putting burden for safety on corps is not a healthy thing.

  • if they are claiming the new laws are for kid safety there must be existing already some external evidence of the need, no?

  • mlem is not showing me votes. so dunno what you are talking abt.

    my point is that we have laws already that are perfectly appropriate to the “concern” stated, “child safety.”

    any new laws will only give more access to important data to corporations who are known to do bad things with it.

    that does not make it worth it. my opinion would change if there was a legit large inrush of charges using exiting laws that then did nothing to help, then one could argue we need more law. but thats just not the case today.

  • correct. i am a gen x software engineer and I know for a fact my kid who is now 25 would always find ways around firewalls when he was 14 and horned up.

  • for ex: if you let your kid look at porn, in the US, the parents are absolutely liable for various forms of “risk of injury to a child “ laws.

  • no it wont. kids get around shit easier than ever especially with luddite parents.

    if the gov actually cared they’d take to charging using existing laws.

  • and to prove its not actually about safety and instead about control: parents are already responsible for what kids do online and could be charged using existing laws. but… where is the overreach in that?!

  • “current” is not what the lawmakers are thinking of though.

  • interesting. maybe a spread in focus leads to loss.

  • the problem is that the reason the folks on US soil have such.. douche hubris is because we’ve never got our teeth kicked in because there are a couple of oceans guarding us.

    it is only temporary “unrealistic” a danger, Iran will figure it out and another 9/11 will happen and.. queue up the enrollment and bootlicking country songs for 20 years.

    All the while … profit, massive profit, is had.

  • ? If incumbent wins the primary its the same as if they didn’t have one but at least the party members chose.

    primaries are separate by party.

  • why? imho because its supposed to represent the current situation and overton window not be a reminder the parties are “clubs” that set their own rules.
