What about age restricting ai for anyone under 18,?
And enforce it how? How much longer until we have to provide our ID or biometrics to use the Internet or apps? What happens at 18 that would make a person immune to this?
Easy, we just give AI access to all our files and personal information and it will know our age!
That's already a thing in some places.
In parts of Europe you have to "prove" that you're over 18 to watch videos that are age restricted on youtube. By doing something like a $0 credit card purchase on your google account.
And Discord has been talking about facial reckognition age verification in the UK over their new "sensitive content" regulation. So it would block that content if not approved via that or other thing(like digital purchase or national ID).
The law should protect everyone equally
Developed brain. 14 is a wild west as far as emotions and maturity goes. It's the most volatile age of puberty.
As far as ID? Vast majority of people are already 100% verified online. You all sign into your personal something. You're not anonymous online unless you do literally nothing and use nothing but burner accounts.
Alright upload a photo of your ID buddy, you might as well you're already not anonymous to SOMEONE along the chain.
See how stupid that argument is now?
No, because we already do this to access +18 content here and have for years.
I am fine with it. The world hasn't collapsed and people haven't ended up in concentration camps (yet).
Sorry to hear your government is that shit. But do share your life experiences... I'm sure you have plenty first hand accounts, right?
"it didn't affect me so surely it won't affect others" how entitled.
There is tons of free porn right here in the Lemmiverse. I do not have to prove my age to browse Lemmy.
By "here" he means whatever utopia nation he lives in that surely, no way, uh uh, couldn't possibly misuse the same shit like any other nation.
As of a lonely 19yo couldn't have easily succumbed to the same fate. Heck, I was at my most depressed at 22.
And social media while we're at it!
I'm not providing ID to be able to post to Lemmy. I'd just stop using it.
