Are you arguing that free speech must be abandoned, just in case children happen to be listening?
- trhway 8y agoThat isnt what I said. What I said is that children mustn't be allowed to some audiences the same way they aren't allowed in bars, porn movies or making legally binding decisions in corporate boardrooms.
- jstanley 8y ago> What I said is [...] You actually didn't say that, you just said free speech isn't applicable when it comes to children, and left us guessing about how you might want that to be implemented :). I'm glad you're not advocating for the end of free speech, however.
- trhway 8y agoOf course not. I even against any restrictions on hate and harassing speech. Not that I like it. It is just I think that censorship in any form is worse than any speech it may be trying to censor. So choosing lesser evil out of 2. note: Censorship above is in the sense of making content decisions for capable adults. Children isnt capable adults.
- Dylan16807 8y agoThe post says "age restriction in the metadata" right there. So yes, they did say that, and you didn't need to guess.
