This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Crazy how people otherwise firm supporters of freedom of speech and freedom of tech suddenly change their minds when the person involved is under 18.
Are you unfamiliar with the principal that things which are appropriate for adults are often not appropriate for children?
I'm familiar with the sad fact that many people believe that. Knowledge should never be age restricted. If a kid doesn't want to learn about, for example, sex, and finds it gross, that's one thing. An entire society conspiring to keep them from knowing about it till they're about 11 is quite another.
Yes, that’s why I’m completely fine with my kids watching online videos of ISIS prisoners being burnt to death in a dog cage.
Can I ask if you have kids?
lol if you think you can stop that
That’s a strange comment. There’s obviously a difference between a 16 year old and a 4 year old (I have both). Are you saying because my 16 year old is curious and gets sent shit by her friends, I shouldn’t try to filter what my 4 year old doing?
once you no longer have eyes on them outside your home it is pretty much over
4 year old is fine, by 5 or 6 good luck unless you are home school helicopter parenting them
They're probably 15
Given how responsibility for much of the violence in the world falls at the feet of the society that is deciding how to censor information from our kids, I find it quite appropriate that they have access to terrorist executions and cat killing videos.
The US gives few fucks that such videos exist, or that our society was built on massacres and slavery. We just don't want our kids to know the grim legacy that they've been given.
Considering kids today are going to be middle aged when the climate crisis catches up to us, it raises questions of ethics what people were doing having kids in the first place.
