Says the man who immediately wanted another debate with Biden after winning the first one

Ah well then you can’t have GrapheneOS anyway

One can only hope

Every state’s* constitution

We found Bill Nye’s Lemmy account!

Yep, that’s exactly how totally innocent people behave in a disposition…

I feel sorry for the humans that will suffer from incurable diseases like rabies because of this nonsense.

The most impactful reason for there being an upper limit on age for representatives is that they literally don’t have a personal stake in the future. Even if they have kids or whatever other platitudes they may try to push, obviously there are people making decisions now that are going to have mortal fallout for the next generation that they don’t give a shit about if they’re making money.

No.

Thinking differently is for liberals. Conservatives think the same.

The problem is we’ve done an excellent job depleting a lot of the easily accessible resources, so even when our replacements come along, they’re probably going to have a hard time getting to where we are in such a short time.

I was just thinking that, like Jupiter’s red spot storm. Probably like 5 years tops.

Which is zero children to indoctrinate by way of fear and hate.

This is the issue at hand: How do you prove it is an adult and not a child attempting to access the content?

Solutions exist for parents to block/allow access to content on routers, cell phone plans, and devices. The government does not need to impose here.

Yes. It should be a multifaceted approach, and increasing sexual education is absolutely a part of that. Good luck getting more funding for education ESPECIALLY if it could be used for sexual education in these red states though.

They preach abstinence and then feign surprise when that’s not what happens.

It doesn’t really matter what the content is. Allowing the government to dictate what content can or cannot be accessed is not a good idea.

I see what you’re asking, and I agree if we’re going to prevent physical access to strip clubs by minors, it makes logical sense to take steps to prevent minors from accessing prurient content online as well.

The question becomes the exact methodology used to achieve that. It’s the same basic premise of making encryption illegal: Are we willing to sacrifice our privacy in the name of “protecting the children”?

Come up with another way to restrict access that doesn’t further encroach on privacy. I don’t have the answer for what that is, and it may not need to involve the government, but allowing them to put bills like this in place sets dangerous precedent. Once we relinquish power to the government, it’s damn near impossible to get it back.

The reason is a technical one. At a strip club, none of your information is being transmitted; it’s just the bouncer making sure you’re of age by looking at your ID.

Per the EFF:

Age verification systems are surveillance systems. Mandatory age verification, and with it, mandatory identity verification, is the wrong approach to protecting young people online. It would force websites to require visitors to prove their age by submitting information such as government-issued identification. This scheme would lead us further towards an internet where our private data is collected and sold by default. The tens of millions of Americans who do not have government-issued identification may lose access to much of the internet. And anonymous access to the web could cease to exist.
