This smacks of “won’t anyone think of the children” censorship. And with oligarchs buying up media organizations, it seems like they don’t want mind share competition.
Fuck’s sake. So he’ll be a massive disappointment as well then?
My money is on worse
:(
Same shit different smell huh
Clap your hands! Throw a chair! Peel a parsnip! Iron your trousers! Sieve the greens! Strangle a fox! Pipe the buttercream! Stub your toe! Cancel your Netflix! Andy Burnham!
He should have stayed mayor. No-one with strong authoritarian leanings has any place in the leadership of a democratic nation.
No! We should allow giant corporations to experiment with the minds of children!
Are you in favour of all adults having to provide ID to access the internet? Because that’s the policy that you’re supporting.
Yes.
Bring back pornographic magazines.
So regulate the corporations not the children.
Make them remove algorithms and hold them accountable for bad content on their systems.
Absolutely not. We should regulate them into transparency and prevent them from experimenting on children.
…but that’s not what he’s doing is it? This is punishing children by excluding them from their community because he lacks the courage required to stand up to American techbros.
Implying that other media companies, like TV or magazine companies, do not target children and don’t influence their minds? And have done so since long before the Internet became available to children? Or what now?
So, you see no difference between phones and magazines?
It’s like saying we never asked for licenses to drive a horse and buggy, why demand them for cars that go twenty times as fast?
No. I see no moral difference. Human rights declarations (such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, European Convention on Human Rights, Convention on Rights of the Child) protect freedom of speech and/or expression regardless of medium, so I have those on my side.
And all of those differentiate between adults and children, so I have that on my side
