The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.Some politicians have already stated this plainly.
This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.
This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.
This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.
This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.
This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.
Do not let them do this to us.

This is why I advocate for #CyberRiot and sabotage to show them that we control the computer and will take power back from them. Action must start now or we will be fighting from the back foot, again. -

@Em0nM4stodon The craziest thing to me is that there is no way a thing like this wouldn't ultimately hurt children far more than anything they are *claiming* it supposedly prevents.
Like how does that not just automatically become a deal killer for all these bills?

@Em0nM4stodon It’s those in power who want this. To increase their control over us. And then there are those stupid idiots who say: ‘I’ve got nothing to hide. Go ahead.’

the lesson the powerful learned from tik tok is that we fucking hate them and they no longer have control of the narrative

@Em0nM4stodon They lie to us, we lie to them. Extra points for creativity.

@drahardja @Em0nM4stodon Evil stuff pretending to be benign.
Fascism is just another variation on the theme of selfishness.
Some humans find it breathtakingly hard to even conceive of helping others ...

An evolutionary trend we shall either grow beyond or suffer the existential consequences of.
Growing beyond evolutionary trends is in itself an evolutionary trend. Its a kind of like a negative selective corollary to the Fermi Paradox. -

In my electronics degree in the 1970s I remained ever baffled by the nature of Fermi levels.
Meta evolution maybe. But it tends to move slowly.
Pornography only operates because of retained basic instincts that see any visuals of sexual opportunities appear - context was presumed rather than checked.

It's kind of preaching to the choir here. Mastodon seems to be a haven for peeps, either by vocation, or life circumstances are attuned to the problems this will cause.
I see semi supportive comments showup even on general tech sites, where I feel they should know better. For the general population? I don't know what it would take to get them to oppose "protecting the children"(lulz). If all this(looks around, stretches arms) doesn't cause alarm, I don't know what will.

@Em0nM4stodon In the US, we need to fight against KOSA, which is advancing in our legislature.
The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone
This bill won’t bother big tech. Large companies will be able to manage this regulation, which is why Apple and X have agreed to support it. In fact, X helped negotiate the text of the last version of this bill we saw. Meanwhile, those companies’ smaller competitors will be left scrambling to comply. Under KOSA, a small platform hosting mental health discussion boards will be just as vulnerable as Meta or TikTok—but much less able to defend itself.
