They were lucky to be born in a period of relative wealth, and most don’t get why it’s more difficult these days, but they are not responsible for the fact that you get generations have it harder then them.

Those who have all the power are very happy when the plebs fight among themselves you know.

Stop making this a generational war, boomers aren’t the problem. Unrestrained capitalism is.

It could be a dangerous path indeed, giving the government full access to your phone. I’m not sure the bill says that though.

But I think most people already do… A huge bunch of apps collect everything they can on you; tiktok used to be the worst. I wouldn’t trust a government less than a private company.

I dunno, maybe forcing companies to put (or remove) specific features on their software could set an interesting legal precedent: it could be used to stop companies from pushing features people don’t want or designing apps with dark patterns.

Ok but isn’t it already the case anyway? How would age verification make it easier?

I see how this is bad from a privacy standpoint, but how does it affect device ownership?

Never underestimate the destructive power of stupidity.
