It is the parents job to watch their damn kids. Or force isps to include simple blocklist toggles in their supplied routers so the parents can make a decision.
I know the EU is still kicking around the concept of making itself a root CA and each country an intermediate in that chain, then legally mandating the installation of that CA on all devices. This is dangerous as hell as it effectively defeats the purpose of TLS and gives the government(s) a way to decrypt all HTTPS traffic using those bogus cert chains.
Looks like another govt relying on majority that has no idea about how internet works. It won’t stop kids, but pr0n sites and their partners will certainly get richer.
So the biggest issues in Spain over the last years is kids watching porn? Really? Spain has been through a shitstorm and this is what they think of. This is just an excuse to generalise the use of digital identity certificates for all the stuff they want.
this isn’t even a left or right thing, since its government is an amalgamation of left parties
You either can tell that the same certificate was used 1000000 times in one day which means they are being tracked or you don’t track it and one leaked cert can be used by all the minors in Spain. So it’s either useless of bad for privacy.
I find tracking all individuals way more dangerous long term than the effects of unmediated internet use.
Parents should be more involved in children’s digital use.
Does outlawing Marijuana stop minors from accessing it? No, I started smoking young. Does requiring an ID stop minors from drinking alcohol? I’m sure many of you will attest to underage drinking
However, tracking everyone doing everything, tracking whatever they say whatever they look at. That impacts everyone, not just minors.
The whole age verification can be done privately, secure and without the possibility to get tracked. But imho still not really a good thing to do. Parenting should still be a thing.
Thank you for the links to Wikipedia and identity.com on that other thread. I’ve yet to wrap my head around how zero-knowledge proof could work for such a basic assertion as “user is of legal age”, which calls for a 0 or 1 answer. It seems very different from the examples given of polynomial computations to prove knowledge of an exponent in a complex math expression. I can’t see what could prevent any client to simply lie about the answer here.
In communism there’s no space for the concept of family / family unit as there’s with the center-right and right-wing ideologies. To communists, or any other extremist regime, children are mostly state property that must be indoctrinated as soon as possible to follow the leadership’s mindset otherwise the system wouldn’t work.
Communism is all about state property in all aspects of life. You simply selling people the ideia that everything belongs to everyone (there’s no private property) and that everything should be shared when in fact what you’re trying to do is to instate an extremist government, very similar to a fascist one, that will take control over everything.
It’s good to be communist when you’re on top and I’m sure Hitler felt the same. Not so good when you’re the working class.
Wait, how come you don’t know who Alexandra Kollontai is? I’m not even anything left leaning and I know about her and her works. And yes she does have very good point, as do a lot of communist but still paints an image of communist and family. Here’s a good example:
Working mothers have no need to be alarmed; communist not intending to take children away from their parents or to tear the baby from the breast of its mother
That’s fair, yet a few lines bellow:
Society will feed, bring up and educate the child (…) Communist society will take upon itself all the duties involved in the education of the child
So you start by saying that the communists don’t want to take children away but then proceed to bring up and educate. That’s kind of suspicious.
To be fair, that could’ve even been true at some point. I see that a lot of the communist ideologies only work if seen from the right angle (ironic) and with good intentions, however what are really communist groups and parties nowadays?
Half of those groups got mixed up with the gender/identity bullshit people - those who end up yelling to politicians about children not getting free gender conversion therapy and whatnot. Those communist groups/parties groups/parties that don’t particularly share their views but agree to “bite the bullet” just for the numbers. Numbers are all fun but this will eventually backfire once those same groups lose their true ideology / identity and become associated with those people and lose all their credibility.
