1·18 minutes agoProvide me with a scenario where a child is online and approached by someone of ill will and the child cannot just block them, and/or go to their parents?
It is my understanding that all social media applications have a method to block other users. The same thing goes for games with social aspects, like Roblox.
If the scenario in which this happens is due to poor parenting, then the problem is poor parenting. As far as I’m concerned I should never ever have the effects of someone’s poor parenting touch me in anyway.
Every layer of abstraction is important.
Most of these systems have tools in place to help parents. The parents don’t give a shit—that’s the actual problem. Everything online is avoidable. There’s always a block button. Having your priest get touchy and not knowing how to handle it is waaaaay different than CR33PYGIRL6969 trying to be a perv online. Push block. Done.
Sure. There is no solution except asking the parents to monitor their kid.
End of story.
We don’t need age verification laws of any kind. We need proper parenting.

I went to Google Maps and North Oaks, Minnesota had no street view for me. So, I don’t think that really solved anything.
Do you also always use a VPN? Your IP gives you away.
Some of you give that info away to companies so easily, of course they sell it.
31·3 hours agoAndroid is a joke.
Why help Google?
Google controls search results and has been caught meddling. Which negates the first two.
The last one of hurts the sources… sure they get less traffic which is less ad revenue. Cry me a river.
Yeah someone needs to get sued hard and have a big loss. But the reality of the world is that everyone keeps passing the buck, and right now it has landed on you and me, and that’s pretty fucked up.
The parents sent their kids to an institution they know rapes kids.
The parents let their kids on the internet knowing they would be exposed to predators.
You’re doing as much as you possibly can to blame everyone else BUT the parent.
I don’t want kids communicating with me. Verify they are a kid and have kid only platforms. Not the other way around.
That statement means nothing. It’s just an attempt to avoid providing a response by shifting blame or implying ignorance without any reasons.
If you are saying that parents shouldn’t be responsible for their children, you are the problem.
Time for another OS. Android is over.
Age verification laws have nothing to do with child predators. They never have. If they cared, they would focus on the problem—the platform. But they don’t.
The real single problem here is parents aren’t monitoring their children. When these bad things happen, the parents are ALWAYS like, “I had no idea that was going on.” The fuck are they doing with kids then?
But nooooooooooooooo…. Asking someone to be responsible for their own offspring is way too much for people to handle.
It’s 10pm, do you know who your kid has been talking to today?
If you don’t, you’re a shit-fuck parent and your kids should be rehoused.
Exactly. I’m super surprised how many people are just kind of OK with all of this.
“It’s just a date, you can lie, don’t worry”
“It’s just your ID, if you’re over 18, don’t worry.”
“They’re only looking for criminals, if you’re not a criminal, don’t worry”
“They’re only looking for people who don’t act like them, look like them, believe the things they believe, vote the way they do, speak the way they do, so as long as you match them exactly, don’t worry”
I did not say it was as precise. Those are words that you used. I’m saying that any layer protecting you is good. Your mobile service provider keeps a log of every device the connects into which IP it connects to. Let’s say there are 1000 people using it same IP. Now they have reduced that list from millions to 1000. If you use a VPN that does not log, all they see is the VPN address.
I don’t actually have an interest in convincing you, because if you want to assume your mobile service provider is safe enough… That’s your own opinion.
