MODERATORS
As one of the first Baby Boomers, it's somewhat surrealistic for me to proof that I'm old enough to access an fucking web page.
As a millennial, it, too, is insane.
Which begs the question: who thinks this is a needed thing and a good idea? Who is pushing this agenda?
somebody in another post a few days ago suggested that this was about gaining control of the media narrative by gradually locking down parts of the internet. The idea being that today it's adult content but tomorrow its about disagreeable narratives on YouTube, TikTok, and other secondary sources of Information.
-I'd think it were a stretch of the imagination but it was shown that the motives for trying to ban TikTok (in the U.S.) were the narratives shared on the platform about Israel's ongoing genocide.
I hear that - I was around when Arche and Fido-net and BBS'es were king. You want my id? Great I'll just fax it to you.
