@G4Z yeah in principle I agree but in practice "the internet" is about 4 companies. Until there's more competition your data is being consolidated anyway. And the only way to get competition is to enforce regulation. I don't think this is *good* regulation but I don't see why we should have to do what Apple want just because they're big.
Interestingly this comes at the same time as the smartphone-free childhood thing is gaining steam so there's probably a real-world solution anyway. - Comment on UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age 5 days ago:
@oeuf @G4Z I realise it's never going to happen and there would be loads of other fallout I haven't thought about, but I think governments *should* be allowed to. They can in every other field - our booze laws aren't the same as the US's, why should our dick pic laws be?
It might de-monopolise the industry a bit.
