- latentsea 1y agoHow would that work? Please explain.
- exe34 1y agoparents take an interest in their kids lives. parents talk to them about things that are good and bad for them. it's a novel concept.
- latentsea 1y agoThat's the system we already have. It clearly has severe limitations.
- exe34 1y agoyes, parents take no interest in their kids and want the state to raise them.
- latentsea 1y agoAll you have to do is be honest and say it. "I'm ok with those kids being collateral if it means I personally retain my privacy".
- exe34 1y agoOr you could just ban under 18s from the internet entirely.
- latentsea 1y agoAnd enforce it how?
- exe34 1y agoconfiscate phone, fine parents. children allowed locked down tablets only for school. any evidence of tampering results in long hours of detention at school and parents fined. if you want a police state for children, then implement a police state for children and those who choose to have them. or be honest and say you want a police state for everybody.
- latentsea 1y agoHow would you even detect the violations in the first place? How much resources would it take to enforce? How effective do you think that would actually be in practice? Pretty unrealistic at actually being a workable solution, and obviously so. You misunderstand my position. I don't want a police state for everybody. I think that's the greater of two evils. It's just from personal experience that I wrote about elsewhere in this thread, I know the depths of the horror of opting for the status quo. It's brutally fucked up. But at least I'm honest enough to say I'd rather live in a free society where kids are subject to abuse than risk a full-on dictatorship where everyone is subject to a different kind of abuse. I'm willing to accept those kids as collateral, because at least it's only a subset of people as opposed to all people. The thing that bothers me about the discussion is everyone I've talked to who is on the same side as me is either blissfully or willfully unaware of the reality of what's happening to large numbers of kids, or they won't be honest and say that even in the face of knowing the reality that they accept it's a sacrifice they are willing to make. So be honest.
