Commentators criticising the act and ofcom’s attempt, do understand the online safety act is to prevent children from watching porn? The critique always lacks any form of grounding in reality or proposal of alternative solutions
- dmitrygr 1y agoThere is already a method for that, it is called parenting. Technology never could, cannot, and never will solve problems that are human in nature
- throwaway98743 1y ago^ this is my point. You remove any grounding. We don’t allow children to drink (we allow them younger in the UK than the US), drive, and many other things we have safeguards for. Also, how do you suggest parenting solves for this? Are children with parents all the time? Does the data suggest an only parenting technique works? No, course not. What’s your solution to something that is a problem? All up for a critique of the act but to say “there is no problem” is absurd.
- throwaway98743 1y agoChildren freely watching porn is a technology problem not a not a nature problem
- general1465 1y agoWith this logic we could ban selling knives, because you can use them to kill somebody.
- throwaway98743 1y agoIn the UK you need to be over 18 to buy knives
- general1465 1y agoComplete ban should be enforced, even if it saves a one child, it is worth it.
