I do agree, it may be that the situation is exacerbated to the point where doomerism is essentially encouraged.
The thing is, there was an article where the students themselves didn't want AI on the mandated Chromebooks. It feels force fed, and the fact is, nobody, no matter the age wants garbage screwing up their workflow.
Honestly, a lot of these articles are repeating the same story. In the end it all leads to a similar conclusion - and it isn't age related.
The movement of sugarcoating the "internet age verification laws" has to stop. It is a weapon in disguise, and it uses minors as bullets.
Now, we have a rapist cabal, the trump/Epstein ring, and who is getting prosecuted - no one. The government cares for the minors as much as the people on that island cared for minors' wellbeing.
It is all a play. And the fact is, age has no meaning here - no matter if you're a child, teenager, young adult, or other - we all will be driven to submission.
Honestly I'm not opposed to age restriction, so long as its only ever accomplished using zero knowledge proofs of some kind. Or just without revealing identity.
Restriction of a class is the restriction of all. Laws like this shouldn't be marked by shallow legal lines, this is yet again a play on discrimination.
"Green coal"
Yeah, the US ain't evolving - it's devolving.
And those who are/want to go off grid:
Straight to jail.
Even if op's case was satirical, it is quite ageist honestly. It is the difference between freedom and submission. Such outdated statements about increasing the common age is just a fascist disguise - minors which includes teens have less and less rights just because the belief that children shall be protected by bans is acceptable.
If people cared about "the children" they wouldn't let them on the Internet until they were 21.
Yeah, that's only for the people that think they care, but are actually ageist and discriminate.
Protecting children comes in hand with protecting humanity. The sole existence of predatory algorithms, and other shit makes age meaningless.
Just like everything in life, uncooperation means the system is broken in some way. This is not about being assertive enough so that children, teenagers or adult students will have to live off the current tyrrany - but realising that this system is designed to encourage this.
The students no matter the age know best; and in this case their word, that AI has no place in their education, should be obeyed by the ones truly ignorant of the educational system.
not stored.
This is simply incorrect. How is balant lying excusable in this situation? We shouldn't forget about the fact that there was a massive leak of sensitive information from discord - this alone should strengthen the premise that their supposed intentions are not equal to what they factually do.
It is a drive towards fascism, the corpos and the state has no right to be disrespecting children and the youth, to do a thing they promise to do yet do the exact opposite.
This is how political cleansing begins. Once the system is turned on, voting for anything slightly left will cast you as a criminal of the state.
You're missing the point here. This isn't about defending whatever you seem to disagree on. Its the fact that you seem to think critical analysis is meaningless and "indifferent". The first commenter had this message instilled, yet you are correlating this to things which where not even mentioned.
In respect to the post itself, then yes the age designation is meaningless as you cannot redefine rape and abuse. It is pretty clear that this comment thread was for a specific issue.
Agreed, it can essentially be an ableist term for those which actively fight against this illness to have a chance at a normal life.
