politics

This would not work for me...

i thought it was obvious that this was a porn ban bill

It's not, because grifters

The CC method imo is my actual preferred implementation, because it's broadly effective where it needs to be, but can be circumvented by parents if desired

Sites can also verify the users age in any way they want, other than "(2) Provide that a user confirming that the user is not a minor is not sufficient to verify age."

it also fucks over advertisers, which I think is a win

with a skill game like the canadian lottery

I like that

the 2nd part to the bill I'm also broadly in-favor of

for non-porn sites, if you don't age-gate your site, you have a bunch of requirements to protect kids

does this mean Youtube can be sued for the content on Youtube Kids?

there is some disturbing stuff marked as kids content

I think as long as they action reports in a timely manner

it's probably in-compliance

youtube can get that totally human review to continue to ignore all reports

if anything, it will lead to youtube being even more ban happy to avoid noncompliance

This is YouTube kids Pika

I don't think they're making 2 different AI checkers

Yes, they 100% already do

Pika, YouTube kids is like 0-7 y/o content

I know. I just think youtube will still ramp up moderation sitewide slightly

In general I like the idea of pushing the lower-tier kids off the big internet, and moving them to dedicated apps that are just4kids This does (actually) empower parents to control when their kids are able to use the internet

I don't neccecarily disagree, I don't like how they are doing it

not sure what a better option would be

Do you just dislike CC verification?

yes

don't have one

also I shouldn't have to give a website anything to use it

debit cards will also work usually

For my credit union. I doubt it

Depends how they implement it Leg, bots have an easier time spinning up debit cards

so more of those verification sytems are CC only now

Also, I'm obviously opposed to the idea of requiring verification to use a computer (which this is not), but it would be easier rather than verifying site-by-site, to verify once at the OS level or the browser level, and have that signal/flag be provided to sites "yes this user is a non-bot, non-kid"

Just do it in person at the store level, since 95+% of people are not building their own PC. Have adult only PC's with it prechecked as adult that you have to use your ID to buy Kappaa

there problem solved

I really do think everyone would benefit from having a kid internet

Pedophiles would benefit (concentrated targets), non pedophiles would benifit (no kids around)

win win

I agree

I think the pedophile fears for all of this are just funny too, "what if pedophiles set up sites to verify kids' ages and use that nefariously"

I mean fundamentally, none of this is about kids anyways

its a roundabout porn ban

it's not

appak

I'm not even super anti-porn

but this is clearly not a porn ban

there were other crackdowns which hurt dedicated porn sites in the past, and tha AI deepfake stuff will hurt porn sites

but they also just... don't comply with any of this

because they're all piracy sites too

it's like asking if Nyaa is going to age restrict their site access to kids

they're obviously not

They should though

I think it would be funny how mad people would be (me included)

also, most important part of the bill

this is real

Thats gonna be so effective

i know what it's "meant" to be but it's a foot in the door, you start with the easy targets then expand the scope. i just am against this kind of thing as well. parents should just parent their kids.

i don't really listen to random internet people about their own dooming about this thing i just actually think the government will use this as a way to expand control

I think it's really hard (borderline impossible) to control the internet, so I'm less worried about the slippery slope here but that's the optimist in me, I don't think this needs the best intentions to be broadly good, and I think if anything this will have positive effects one-two rungs out from the massive commercial sites that are actually effected by the bill directly

I'm all for under 16 y/o's or whatever age to not be allowed on the internet period. I'd use a magic wand to make all the millenial parents act like parents and actually stop their kids from being harassed on roblox and bullied on facebook

Anyway, the LHC is shut down for 4 years, Steins Gate is safe. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/cern-large-hadron-collider-upgrade

RIP @heir's job

Aren't they still building the super collider that is like 10x as big

or was that never actually happening

was it his job to count the particles in the collisions?

Why did they shut down the evil energy tube?

They are upgrading it

oh, then the giant even more evil energy tube is not being built

Oh no, Steins Gate is real

if they claim that they are going to upgrade it to be powerful enough to produce gravitons, be concerned

You can ask Pika fun facts about Americas Missing Collider

That is true

That video series was like 4 years ago so I don't know how much he would remember though

I'd have to rewatch it at this point

I grew up close to Fermi Lab so I have been to one collider location quite a few times

this is the thing that could potentially create a black hole and kill everyone right? i've been waiting for it to happen

No

no?
