Because the line between "social media" and "talking to other people" is so blurry as to not exist.
Also, and more importantly, the power of these companies is so great in effect youll only enforce that facebook etc. are the only ways of talking to each other that can exist legally and entrench the very problem you want to solve.
For example, is whats app social media?
Im not sure what youre arguing here? its possible to control access well as a parent, but so much easier if the state force everyone on the internet to provide id in order to prevent teenagers talking to eavh other?
You yourself csn target what you think is harmful but a law will hit everything and everyone, and like i implied in the driveby about roblox still might not actually block something you find unacceptable.
This is just the wrong approach to achieve the goal.
Youre on lemmy! This is like the one place people will decry facebook, x, reddit, insta etc. But what your arguing for will end up with them as the only services that can navigate existing legally, and children will still work around blocks because they simply dont care about consequences for lying about their age.
Somewhere after level 5 dms need to learn to stop providing enemies that can burn.
Dont worry theyll get plenty of poison after the ban too from roblox chat
Framework consider sponsoring companies with fascist links fine. The ceo said theyrr a big tent with room for all opinions.
A lot of people stopped being involved with them after that.
No , look, the caudecus isnt a medical symbol. Someone ages ago in america got it wrong and used it everywhere and now people are confused and use a symbol of hermes god of merchants as a medica...
OMG you fools, this explains why none of you can afford healthcare
Yes. Im talking about the heart one cos it looks like two snakes.
Finally someone justifies using a caudecus as a medicine symbol.
One was 15. Not sure about the other. Lots of articles on this over the years.
Age of consent in the uk is 16 too.
A lot of techies have little communication skills, but even non techies can have bad and dysfunctional communication skills.
Good luck with it.
I try to live my life so if anyone claimed i murdered babies people would react with incredulity, not guillotine images.
No im not arguing its hard to define, im arguing that youll have to ban children from whats app. Private minecraft servers (even ones owned and run by the kids) too. If you dont do this you leave a space for the tech giants to bring the targeted ads and then youll have to ban kids from each space as they move in.
Any communication channel will fall to this if you take the approach of banning children from them one by one instead of stopping this behaviour by the tech giants entirely by legislating against targeted advertising directly. These services are just as toxic to adults.
