Don’t forget home routers have something called parental controls.
This would put all the power of online safety back into a parents hands and maintain all privacy online for the general public and ones children as well.
What are you talking about? You think this is some kind of game where we all have to be responsible for ourselves, and create solutions that serve everybody? Get real!
This is Earth! Where the elite make all the rules, and those rules aren’t based on logic, or problem solving. They’re based on what will make the elite the most money!
So you bet your ass when Mark Facebook Zuckerberg pitches an idea, he’s doing so to steal your data, and figure out how to create a problem that needs fixing, which can just so happen be fixed with privacy invasion! Yaaaay! Isn’t capitolism grand?
Phones, tablets & computers have it too.
The market has made clear how it feels about consumer freedom. Every consumer option is lost revenue to them.
And to ensure that everyone has a router… everyone will be given a state issued router with personal identification that they must use.
No thanks, I’m good.
He’s already made his money. He needs to just retire and quit fucking things up for everyone.
This, really, is what gets me about billionaires. Literally any of them could have just faded into obscurity years ago, lived a life of abject luxury and never had a single worry. Or, they could have spent like 10% of their wealth on improving things for society as a whole, and everyone would have loved them for it. But no - they all had to just focus on hoarding more and more and making things worse and worse for everyone else. It’s fucking baffling to me.
It shouldn’t be baffling, it’s obvious what the problem is. These people have crippling OCD, which manifests itself as financial hoarding. These people have more money than they or their descendants could ever spend, and yet they are compelled to make more and more, and even pay to reconfigure the government so they can make even more.
If these people were hoarding cats, or rusty cars, or old appliances, or newspapers, etc. to the point where it is negatively impacting all those who live around them, then the authorities would step in, clean it up, and get help for that person.
But not financial hoarders. They are lauded as successful business people, and they get full cooperation from the government in service to their OCD. Their crimes are overlooked, and are sometimes even turned into laws. They are encouraged to DEMAND more money from the government for no reason at all, and it is almost always granted.
Donald Trump has it worst of all, and we allowed him to become president, even though his obvious and mind-boggling mental illness is on full display at all times.
These people are severely mentally ill, and our government encourages their mental illness. The way to handle someone like that is to STOP their behavior, not coddle it, especially when it is actively doing so much damage.
We only ever hear about billionaires who go about to fuck everybody’s life. Just tell me a few of those people you are talking about
It was never about “child safety”. It always was about making users more transparent, and therefore more intimidatable and controllable.
Well, yeah. That was the plan from the start. Let’s not be the “dumb fucks” who just “trust him” with personal data this time.
Ah so Bots and Ai shit needs to identify itself as well? Of course not, it’s just an excuse (save the children) to do more surveillence rather than helping anyone.
That’s because snowflakes like zuck want to know who is calling him a cunt and when. Shove it up your ass you sick stalker.
Imagine this happening and Facebook will somehow still be an AI sloptrough.
if people in power want to save children they could try and stop raping them. with all the surveillance in the world they wouldnt have prevented the epstein rapes because its never about the childrens safety its about power.
Saving the children vs creating a dystopia where your phone tells you what to do, what to think,…
Now add a few years, were running out of food and water, the planet is on fire. Guess who’s getting acces? Only people with a phone that says they’ve been good obedient peons who have no opinions of their own.
Take a wild guess which is of more importance to the big club? They’ve already proven they’re PERFECTLY ok working with pedofiles. Hell, a lot of them ARE the pedofiles.
I’m not sure that what this article is claiming follows. Your device providing a token which confirms you’re an adult doesn’t imply that your real name will be provided to anybody, any more than, say, my banking app using my phone’s FaceID implies that that app has access to my biometric data
To me, age verification on-device make the most sense precisely because it allows for it to be secure and maintaining of privacy
The alternative is providing every site with your biometric data, photos of your documents like driving license, or both. Or that there’s some random third party which you give that data to and who then stores it on some server somewhere the security of which we can only guess at
I know sind will be tempted to say that it shouldn’t be happening at all and that it’s not about protecting kids and so on. But no matter how much we say that it _ is_ happening. This is what the new reality will be. The only question is where you want the scan of your face to be stored. Personally, I’d rather it be encrypted on my device
The alternative is people actually fucking parenting and not making the internet a dystopian hellscape.
Again, we can hope for whatever. But this is going to happen. So the question becomes what the best version is. I see no better option than on-device, encrypted age verification tokens
Could End Anonymous Internet Access for Everyone
Don’t come over here threatening me with a good time.
Well feel free to go first, what’s your full name and address?
Yes. Give the Fart Master your social security number, and mothers maiden name.
Which you would think wouldn’t be needed if he already has your SSN…but that part isn’t about privacy breaches. Instead, he’s just looking to find your mom and take her out on a date! Fart Master is going to be your new dad!
Genuinely curious, why do you think this is a good thing?
I get it. For some reason i see this as working towards no more running 7,000 bots and influence peddling, or blatant manipulation from governments through fake accounts running “brand management” campaigns.
Too optimistic maybe to think a company being aware of one name running a ton of accounts and doing anything for humanity because of it for the better good, but I get it.
Plus creeps thrive in the darkness, selling CSAM and the gross shit American leaders do. Bitcoin for killing stuff on video, like it could stop. Those guys could be identified and put in a cellar never to hurt anyone again.
Too bad almost none of that will actually be implemented and will instead be used to target those who disagree.
Ya, its too optimistic to think it will be helping anyone besides like 50 guys.
You forgot the “/s”
