hoopsplayer21if we agree that our children are being fed to much slop, what is the proper intervention?
I understand it falls on the parents, so how do we fix parenting in this country then?
more family-based programs and assistance, but the UK isn't gonna do that, they love to cut everything and blame it on immigrants and black people, and frequently the LGBTQ+

Verifying you're an adult in order to access p***ography is racist and homophobic?

this is also cracking down on political dissidents and monitoring if someone's involved with terrorist activity. it also prevents illegal immigrants from accessing sites and apps because they can't verify citizenship and don't have an ID.
so if you're against this, the government says you're protecting terrorists and spies. it's pretty calculated.
obviously, I'm sure some of the average person will be upset at this, but instead of directing their focus on the labour and tories, they'll blame the LGBT for being sexual deviants (in their eyes) and immigrants for ruining it for everyone, then proceed to vote for the far-right reform party, even some folks on the liberal side of reddit and twitter are saying that.
but even less rationally, some people just blame minorities for everything in the UK, particularly in England. they think white people having fewer kids (a poverty and class issue) is because they're being outnumbered by immigrants (not even true; the UK is still 80% white) and imply they're breeding like rabbits to overtake them.
if more assistance programs were in place and people parented more, this wouldn't even be a problem, but instead parents support this while wondering why their kid dislikes them, more often than not. in any case, the UK (and EU) just wants to spy on their population. they want to see which app and site you use and every p*** site you might go on.
everyone's data is out there, I get it, but the point is that it's decentralised and isn't controlled by the government, but now it will be.

Idc if illegal immigrants can't get onto certain websites if the tradeoff is letting children freely view p***ography and other harmful material. So I guess that's where we disagree

ideally, parents should be the one monitoring children's site logs with their ISP. it's very easy to do, actually.
also, illegal immigrants not accessing sites isn't the sole trade off, it's everyday citizens being monitored and stalked by the government via a no-name third party organisation spearheaded by lobbyists pressuring the government. it's wildly corrupt and I'm not sure how you can't see that.

GDPR doesn't allow parents access to their children's online data w/o court order
With HTTPS encryption, ISPs can only see domain names.
It's nearly impossible for a parent or even ISP to fully monitor a child's online habits

well I'm not insinuating parents should see everything their child sees, that'd be quite ridiculous

It does work for p*** websites, but children are mostly exposed to p*** and other harmful material on social media like discord/twitter/reddit which an ISP can't monitor.
Which is why an 18+ verification is needed

I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I understand reddit, twitter, instagram and especially discord have their own problems but honestly a parent should just restrict access even further, like physically checking it. I know discord has something called family centre, so, even if the child finds it lame, there are tools in place to prevent children from being groomed sexually or ideologically, or viewing something they shouldn't

As a network engineer at an ISP, we collect the flow data, but we never use it to check what people are doing. Mostly use it for troubleshooting or DDDoS mitigation.
- Jul 31, 2025·edited
We don't even really need to keep up with flow data. The only thing that is required and matters in the US at an ISP is keeping up with DHCP lease history. Mainly for CALEA request when we get served warrants.

a parent can’t physically restrict a child 24/7 who has nothing but all day to think about how to sneak around their parent lmfao the only restriction is no devices when they’re out your sight
Jul 31, 2025Scan face for age verification? Ain't no way. I won't even scan my face so I can digitally try on glasses on those websites.
RASIE 🎣Jul 31, 2025·1 replyAge verification is the only one of these things that isn't absolutely insane and has potential to benefit society.
However they (and other countries/states) are approaching it in a completely wrong and dystopian tech way. Stop with the on-device ID/face/fingerprint scanning for site and app access. Thats stupid, high risk, and leaves possibilities of workarounds wide open.

Jul 31, 2025_ _I was just talking about this with a friend the other day
If you listen to Peter speak, he wants individualism, decentralisation, and takes ideas from anarcho capitalism and cameralism, he wants a world with no privacy. His view is like a perverted and twisted kind of Ayn Rand story, one filled with rational egoism.
He wants more borders, more countries, more class disparity, the elites to live in a specific land while the masses suffer. His mind is broken, and this train of thought is probably spreading to his colleagues, I mean he's a close friend of Vance and that's arguably his apprentice. He also thinks women shouldn't have the right of suffrage.
Plus has nutty quotes like these:
In an essay for the Cato Institute, Thiel once wrote, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible…” Why? Because if you empower the demos, they will eventually vote for restrictions on the power of capitalists. and therefore, restrictions on their “freedom.” He continues, “Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy‘ into an oxymoron.”
we really might head back to feudalism/manorialism (techno version, as you said) at this rate, but that's a topic for another time lmfao, it's mystifying
