Ok, let’s say it is. They just want to invade our privacy. Now set that aside.
On a separate topic: What’s an alternative solution for the “there’s porn on the playground” problem that discord has? They are participants in it, they are facilitators. They shouldn’t be immune. Giving platforms a pass on things like this is pernicious. Giving platforms a pass is why Elon Musk thinks he can get away with CSAM generators.
Right, it’s weird that parents let kids play on platforms that have porn on them. Something needs to be done, maybe we should go after the parents instead.
Or is the answer just saying parents should do something and then do nothing? We need a clever solution that does not involve sharing proof of identity… any ideas? Banning adult content completely would work too.
Because Elon Musk loves mixing kids and porn.
Edit: it’s so fucking stupid and contradictory that this comment has upvotes and my other comments in this thread don’t.
They all say the same thing. Mixing kids and porn is weird. Discord mixes kids and porn too. Elon just enjoys it.
They are choosing this over banning porn on their platform.
People love sharing porn in discord tho. That’s why this is happening.
Tech companies shouldn’t have these sorts of algorithmic profiles of people. It’s manipulation.
It was just Safari (WebKit) at that point.
So that’s what the second plus includes….
That sounds like such a drain.

Edit: Whoops, I actually opened the link and see MacRumors mentioned this. And they mentioned an iOS 18 update too…
I feel old every time I share that I’ve never installed TikTok and don’t have an account.
In many ways, I feel a bit like I am still forced to ambiently and peripherally use the app when interacting with the rest of social media and society. Because the damn format, and culture, and way of thinking and producing videos has seeped so deep into all aspects of our lives.
The whole mode of consuming media in an algorithmic flipbook like that weirds me out. I don’t understand how anyone can enjoy being enticed to watch videos in the way TikTok promotes.
“Open” once again being abused as angle to build something for an exit. It sounds like.
Your friend has a growth on its abdomen. I’d have a doctor look at it.
It’s indeed a surprise if you believe their claims about LLMs being intelligent.
Cool.
HKSV does not get sent to ICE.
It’s so easy to pontificate instead of actually doing studies, right?
I’m not putting it aside to dismiss the idea that it’s bad. Just for the sake of conversation. You’re really overreacting to conversation.
This age verification stuff is an invasion of privacy, and we should have a better answer to the claims that it is the only way to put in protection on the platform side. “Parents” is not the answer to the platform’s responsibility here as a facilitator who profits from facilitating.
Age verification systems are invasive and harm privacy AND it’s weird that we think platforms should be all ages with no serious/effective barriers. It’s weird that we just act like there is no solution, and bemoan parents.
I was quite clear about switching the topic focus.
