MODERATORS
It's ridiculous really.. my kids see things online and ask me anything regarding what it means, I use it as a teaching moment and we talk about it. Why and how is someone like Andrew Tate popular with boys of a certain age, for example. How does Instagram affect how girls view their bodies and affect their self esteem? How did something like tiktok change the shape of social media in general and what does it mean? I enjoy these conversations with my kids as they arise. Acknowledgement of something as harmful, without any debate about how, is, in itself, harmful. And insulting to young people. And also ultimately useless because kids know their way around VPNs etc. It's only ultimately going to inconvenience me and compromise my own desire for anonymity and privacy. What 3rd party application will be entrusted with my age checking and how? Ugh.
It won’t be a 3rd Party application. It won’t be the authentication provided by the device manufacturer either.
This is what myID and myGov is designed for, and is perfectly capable of. Knowing how the Shit Party and Shit Lite Party work, it will probably originally be some half-baked, easily circumvented 3rd party web service, created by a mate of a mate in exchange for “Political Contributions”.
