A good about of drama and concern all around from the user perspective and lawmaker perspective regarding the kosa law. I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon.

If image font seems to small on Lemmy, try right clicking, and open in new tab.

They’re looking to combine coppa and kosa? If this passes these changes could be interesting. But the changes being proposed could end up hurting the LGBTQ community. Any community being damaged, is not a good thing. Especially minorities.

Not sure how to fel about this, but if they are honest about the labels and accurate 100% of the time with labeling it’s a nice feature for independant fact checkers

The Fediverse is still a new concept and it’s gaining more usage then most other open source social medias. It’s the best we have, and more and more people land on it. (atleast going by some Mastodon metrics.) It’s not the biggest, but it’s actually impressive for an an opensource project what you do have for it’s userbase. I wish some people would understand that to an extent.

Anything to prevent getting my i.d in a database, i would actually be ok with using an ai to verify my age by my appearance if it really came down to it and I had to choose legally some form of age verification.

Some might have different tastes, but teenagers in a larger scale tend to not care about rules and will break them if they feel they’re restricted. Depending on what it is, this could be things such as, getting out to some dance, or using social media without parental consent and faking age.

The Fediverse by design prevents this, while the internet of the old age had little if any guardrails against this specially since the platforms never really federated with another.

Did forum sites even federate? One forum sites would be dead and the next would have more activity. But what if the other forum with less activity was the one you wanted to use? The old internet was a good start but there’s a reason why it’s dominated by Instagram and Facebook, while email, you can use mostly any provider and not feel like you’re left out.

See the screenshot isn’t intended to be a summary but a selected portion I react to with a select post. If someone wants to read the full story, it’s linked to.

I, or if it’s not a post I created then the op usually provides the link to the article and if any one were to ask me I would always tell them to read the article for full context.

Remember the purpose of ads is to advertise a product that might potentially sell. Quality control isn’t always a priority it’s capitalism after all. At the end of the day, if you just want to block ads, just block ads.

No. Just no. Not even going to highlight anything from this article.

This is a good point actually. That’s almost like trying to ban Naruto because it’s Japanese, but not banning Dragonball Z. We’l see where this goes. If they would enforce these law equally it wouldn’t be as much of a concern. Overall, whether they ban TikTok or not, if as a user you don’t like a said platform, just don’t use it.

It’s not an ai summary because if it was the wording would had been different from the article. The content featured in the screenshot is from the article and I manually draw attention to parts I am interested in and also to narrow things down. I started highlighting instead of redacting just so people wouldn’t say i’m censoring.

For those who think it’s an ai summary idk what to tell you.

Has a distinctive look.

Not really, teenagers naturally want to socialize. It’s pretty normal. Is it the best thing? no.

This can be problematic for Peertube’s adoption.

If user only uses Peertube to upload, they likely wouldn’t notice a thing from this, but if it’s a creator from Youtube that’s trying to upload to multiple platforms this can cause major problems for ease of use and since the Peertube user base is small to begin with, this can potentially damage Peertube in the long run.

The article at the end of the day is there. Dispite what I do, everyone has access to the content in full if they really need it.

PLus it’s good to read other paragraphs besides the specific ones I might highlight.

gasp ai is becoming more secretive and… dangerous to fans who might be too interested in ai? The ones who want to study it?

Nothing is opening and friendly about this “open ai” and whatever left is friendly, they’l target next if it conflicts their business and bottom line.

unrelated but needs to be stated for some:

Before someone asks “why u filter out the screenshot content”

1. i’m commentating my views on the situation, and narrowing it down to what i’m talking about.
2. it’s even more likely to be a fair use if I’m not reusing the entire content. Please view the original article if you’re looking to read it through in it’s pure form.

Is this some kind of attack on certain minority groups or am I over thinking this comment? I googled what normification meant and the results gave me some bad vibes regarding this comments direction.

Or at the least, avoid the major instances and use smaller instances from individuals.
