Should get one warning fine and if they fail to abide by that the entire company gets parted out to a bunch of smaller entities and their software gets changed to FOSS.

I use brave as my YouTube browser and it does seem to perform better than Firefox with unlock. There's frequently weird delays with Firefox where the ads get through a little and are then blocked(admittedly I probably only update it like once a month). I don't get that with Brave.

Yeah, if you think they're reacting positively to this wait til you see how they react to EA cracking open their checkbook. Oh, wait, that one will happen behind closed doors.

I could see it help with discriminating between people at their “own damn computers” and bots or misinformation/psyops campaigns run out of certain foreign countries though (assuming any ID also ties back to parent country).

It won't unless they can prevent people from stealing IDs. Which they can't.

Or we could just let people do what they want on their own god damn computers.

I got accused of mansplaining because I was helping someone on a tech support call (they were taking the call to support a user, and I was assisting them) and I started with the basic information they'd need to understand the problem and how to fix it. After the call she turned around to the guy next to her and complained about it and he was just like, "oh, no, he's like that with everyone".

My philosophy was based on the fact that our managers hired people for people skills over technical background because they assumed the tech stuff could be trained and that if someone was asking me for help there was a gap in their knowledge somewhere and I had no way to know where it was other than to begin at the beginning and work through it. Most people appreciated it. But some were full of themselves and got pissed about it, those types typically didn't last very long on that job.

How has this guy not had his ass beat for being cringe yet?

Presidents can be sworn in on whatever they want. At least one has used something else, although I don't recall who or what it was.

Be kind to others, the game is rigged against them. Propaganda has never been stronger and its everywhere.

No, we're long past the point where not being able to think critically about the shit we're fed is acceptable. Misinformation has been rampant for decades. Anyone still swallowing it deserves all the criticism coming their way. People still buy into Trump's bullshit for fucks sake. Fuck em.

You’re living in a fantasy world.

Says the guy who thinks handing over control of the internet to authoritarian dipshits is going to end well.

As for kids being ‘allowed’ to see it, dude, seriously? Even before the internet, kids were getting porn in grade school. Again, you’re basing your take on some magical fantasy land, with kids who obey every rule, and citizens who are inherently moral.

Then this ban serves no purpose.

Maybe you should worry about how the unfiltered media channels in the US has resulted in your country destroying itself, rather than try to pass judgement on other nations choices to try and support dumb-men from being coerced into being loser incel manosphere andrew tate emulating right-wing drool factories.

Porn sites aren't funneling people into manosphere shit. They only direct to more porn and like 80% of it is incest shit at this point so practically everyone is viewing at least some of it. Not just incels.

your whole country basically plugged its fucking ears and instead of addressing the issue presented by toxic masculinity, you fucktards elected toxic masculine role models who are now dismantling any respect or good will America may’ve had, threatening to genocide entire civilizations and to attack your allies. That’s where your position leads in reality.

That happened because people aren't taught to think critically . So no, my position doesn't lead to this. NOT doing my position leads to it, and again, porn didn't lead people into that shit either.

Not sure how you got

“Well, I, as an AMERICAN, don’t know this so its WRONG!”

From

Never heard of it, and looking it up I don’t see any controversy surrounding it so not sure what you’re referring to here.

Missing one Netflix show is hardly "Not being aware of other cultures".

“let them figure it out themselves, no social supports or regulations! Freedom! Freedom to be techno fascists!!”

That's not what I said. I said teach people to think critically so they can distinguish reality from fantasy. That's the opposite of letting them figure it out on their own, it requires a great deal of input from those around them while they are growing up. The right wing hates critical thinking, they want us blindly consuming anything put in front of us while they censor anything they find objectionable. Sounds more like your stance to me.

Your comments about 16 year olds being old enough

I said old enough to know right from wrong. Not any of the other shit you implied. I didn't say they were old enough to not be coerced or taken advantage of. 16 year olds shouldn't even be part of this discussion. They are already prohibited from viewing porn by the draconion ID laws.

I disagree that 16 year olds are old enough to be capable of fully understanding the influence media has on them (something most american adults don’t even comprehend

That's because people aren't taught to think critically. We're taught to memorize and regurgitate facts while our leaders try to absolve everyone from responsibility for their own actions by blaming porn, or comic books, or movies, or video games, or whatever the next scary thing of the week is. That has never and will never solve anything.

So you're resorting to insults instead of arguing any of my actual points and acting as if geography has anything to do with it. I think we're done here.
