If they truly cared about the children,
they would be much more concerned about AI everywhere than end-to-end encryption everywhere.

Encryption actually protects the children.
AI harms them, and us.

I absolutely agree with the sentiment, but would be interested in the precise argument on how encryption protects children (expressed in a tight nutshell). My intuition agreeing with you isn't enough :)

@Tuuktuuk Because personal information about children must be considered extremely sensitive and protected at the highest standard.

And the only way to do this is with solid and well-implemented end-to-end encryption.

Well put. Thanks!

@Em0nM4stodon @Tuuktuuk And platform owner knowing that a user is a child endangers them by risking exposing that information to attackers and to insider threats. The only solution is to treat personal information on all users as if they might be children, and not possess or have capability to access anything beyond what's absolutely needed.

@dalias @Tuuktuuk Exactly

@dalias @Em0nM4stodon @Tuuktuuk yes. if some type of data processing is dangerous to do to children, it's dangerous to do to anybody and should be forbidden for all ages.

of course, the real policy objective with this stuff is censorship, so, there's that.

And censorship is also one good way of ruining the society our children will inherit.

@Em0nM4stodon If they truly cared about the children, this world would look very different.

If they really cared about protecting anyone, they would be going after the #perpetrators of the stuff, instead they restrict the innocent.

Can they not see that this is just as harmful?
Why not lock the kids up in a dark room?
Won’t they be safer in there?

Everything our #ukgovernment is involved with seems to turn out to be a negative, Itty-bitty, nitpicking, half considered non-solution.

Just ask a teacher!

@Em0nM4stodon Everybody is worse off except the bad guys. And it's pure laziness, power grabbing, mass surveillance. They are still pretending they won't immediately lose the data at every turn.

Get a warrant.

I've talked to some of these protect the children people.

They were concerned about "Chinese TikTok spreading communism", but had no real concerns of YouTube and Instagram feeding Andrew Tate or US flavor propoganda to their kids.

I can't believe the people who want the state censoring the internet have no problem letting their kids consume state propaganda.

yes, AI learns how to do something that will eliminate all humans. Then what????
