Geoblocking due to OSA
Statue of |david behind age verification filter
So, going forward, will similar pieces of art be blocked in the British Museum as well? Like physically?
- fiftyacorn 1y agoI like it - request that greek statues cover up in case children see
- fenykep 1y agoOr you can simply block people under 18 from the museum. That's what Hungary did - no minors allowed in places where homosexuality could be on display.
- mapcars 1y agoThese are two different things though
- miroljub 1y agoIt's the same "but think of the children and their safety" kind of thing.
- mapcars 1y agoWell you do have to think about children and their safety, for example you don't want to expose them to drugs, I hope that much sense is still there.
- miroljub 1y agoIt's never about children safety, it's about installing a totalitarian regime using children safety as an excuse to silence the opposition.
- const_cast 1y agoNo, that sense is not there, because we don't have any "no drugs for children" laws. Those don't exist - drugs are illegal across the board, unless they're prescribed, but prescription drugs are good for kids. The closest thing we have is tobacco and alcohol. But that's still very far off. Its true children can't buy alcohol, but they can't buy Internet access either. But, they can drink alcohol, and they can view the internet. There's nothing stopping a parent from just giving little Timmy wine. All bets are off once you show ID at the corner store and go home. Similarly, all bets are off after you show ID and proof of residence to your Teleco and they install Internet connection. ... Until now. This is an entirely novel and never before seen type of law and type of reasoning. It may seem, on the surface, reasonable or done before. But if you think about it, it's not. This isn't your typical brand of "think of the children".

- mapcars 1y ago> The closest thing we have is tobacco and alcohol. But that's still very far off. Those are not far off, they are harmful drugs as well (despite being somewhat normalised). The goal is not about stopping parent from giving child something, the goal is to minimise exposure and ability to get access to it as much as possible.
- thrance 1y agoLiteral cultural suicide.
- iLoveOncall 1y agoI'm in the UK and that tweet and profile aren't blocked (not even an ID wall). Likewise for every Reddit link and probably more. I wish the website made a better effort at filtering those because it muddies the point when the government can point out that half of the list is actually accessible in the UK (even if some are behind an ID wall).
- thrown-0825 1y agoEasier to just destroy it all like ISIS did.
- dabeeeenster 1y agoI don’t think it has 4k videos of rape porn on loop tho
- elaus 1y agoDid you comment in the wrong thread? How is Michelangelo's David "rape porn on loop"?
