The entire adult population of Britain now has to log on to the Internet with their government ID? Good fucking luck.

We could’ve had a real conversation about how to protect and help kids, but these people are not interested in that.

That feeling when saying no to your kid is so hard you’d rather do 1984.

It’s like parents don’t realize that their kids will eventually be adults, and have to spend the rest of their lives under a surveillance regime the likes of which the world has never known.

I am so done with folks saying they are willing to sacrifice my privacy for their personal convenience. Dude. Log off. Log off the whole thing.

@patigallardo.bsky.social Why is it my responsibility to police your child? I have my own to worry about.

It's almost like big tech is lobbying hard for this so they can sell age verification services to small businesses. They will require tight integration, which will allow them to get more data that they can use to sell ads.

They will tease small businesses with a subscription fee, then just jack it up. I can't wait for it to burn like what happened in South Korea

😂 👆

Don't you love how quickly people get drawn into becoming free speech and privacy libertarians when there is the barest hint of regulating the techbro oligarchy?

Are there issues that need addressing? Sure, and a democratic process will develop a compromise.

But the purist approach always feels like AstroTurf to me.

@patigallardo.bsky.social is there evidence that support for this differs by parental status?

@patigallardo.bsky.social Wow, much righteousness, little reflection.

Making sweeping statements like this, however sarcastic, is /really/ going to move „parents“ thinking, let alone the companies waiting to sell age verification services or the UK government.

@Tho99 @patigallardo.bsky.social I pretty sure blaming parents is totally wrong.
Correct address would be big tech with their lobbyism and politicians who fear to regulate big tech.
I never heard of a lobby of parents putting millions into lobbyism to get age verification. i don't see any convenience for parents either, because this age verification will not protect any person (no child, no adult). It only protects business models of companies which do not care at all.
