Comment on Age Verification Laws Are Multiplying Like a Virus, and Your Linux Computer Might be Next
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days agoIf you think blocking access to knowledge about sexuality, atheism, or drugs is actually protecting children and not about a controlling unpopular law I don’t know what to tell you. Because it’s clearly not actually intended to protect children as much as it is to block inconvenient information to help indoctrinate children to be compliant and unquestioning.
Yeah, I think you’re arguing with clouds. This person isn’t saying these aren’t effects or even objectives of the age verification effort, but it’s a little silly to say, “No, this isn’t about surveillance, it’s about stifling LGBTQ and atheist progression.” It’s just so tunnel-visioned.
You could’ve even said it’s about centralizing education as a whole and that would’ve been better encompassing. I agree, that’s a bad thing. But it’s absolutely not the full picture.

They want to bind your id with the device you use and restricting queer kids from discovering that they’re queer is the best thing you have in mind?
