The social media ban for under-16s is so shit on so many levels. There's the obvious things like social media being a literal lifesaver for those from dysfunctional or toxic family backgrounds, and finding support or a community online. For LGBTQIA+ teens who'd have no community otherwise. And neurodivergent and/or disabled teens for which irl communication might be difficult or inaccessible, social media can again be a lifesaver.

Plus the main factors of people using social media for an insight or info on politics (especially since they're planning on reducing the voting age in the uk) which could potentially leave an entire demographic completely unprepared or uneducated on politics, especially as schools don't teach it (at least, back when I was there) and they don't exactly encourage you to research it yourself either. So for a lot of people all the political education they'll have is from family - which has it's obvious issues depending. Funny how the government wants to restrict access to political information.

Social media itself isn't perfect, but surely teens deserve a space online to decompress as much as the adult population does?

But aside from all that there's the massive issue on how they're planning on enforcing it, which is through digital ID and face scans for everyone - which again has very obvious, very bad issues. Hacking, third-party Ai programs to name a few. And isn't surprising in the slightest why they're doing it.

I was speaking about all this to my family today and they couldn't seem to understand why mass digital ID collection is bad, which is wild to me. It's terrible on so many levels.

Also these Ai face scan things are notorious for guessing age wrong and restricting things as a result of it - this will directly impact adults who look young for whatever reason, pre-T trans men for example who in many cases may look younger than their actual age. But I haven't seen this mentioned in any news articles or any reporting on this whole legislation. What a surprise.

It's been almost a year and half since 2020. There are kids that can read and write who don't remember 2020. Idk man, it's kind of weird to think about.

D.C. Mayor Candidates Are Fixating on Teen Hangouts — and Turning the Cops on Them

Kenyan McDuffie says D.C. needs teen curfews. Janeese Lewis George argues that’s playing into the Trump administration’s hand.

[xxquilloo]

Isn't imposing curfews on an entire demographic one of the most well known like, oppression things that governments can do?

Most of the tdac lore isn't even cannon if you apply death of the author and i personally think that that's really funny for a piece of media that brands itself as super deep and critical thinking

[xxquilloo]

i don't believe i hell, but there's a special place in it for people who say shit like "but you see, nieve activist, the world is bad so it cannot be improved at all"

[hannahhook7744]

So a ban on social media for under sixteens but even sixteens and seventeens can't be treated like the adults they nearly are?

Get the fuck out.

[pinkyprincessnom]

Never in my life that I hate this timeline we're stuck in

[xxquilloo]

same.

also the age to work part time in the uk is 13 and full time when their 16 (in most areas).

people are able to have jobs but not allowed to have a social media account

[erikag59]

The primary purpose of age verification mechanisms is to facilitate child abuse and we shouldn't beat around the bush about that. People who push it whine about porn but if you actually drill down what they're really mad about is their kids being able to find out that queer people exist or that socialist theory is available

In the TV show Scarlet doesn’t have her arena. She’s still portrayed as evil but it’s because she’s an SJW feminist. She’s defeated by losing a debate to Canyon, who is voiced by an AI of Charlie Kirk. He debates her so hard she lets everyone go. Then Jeff Bezos appears, says a one-liner, and ends the war. He is animated in the style of The Tuttle Twins, unlike all of the other characters who are portrayed using motion capture. At the end all the female characters become tradwives. There’s of course a dance party ending to “We are Charlie Kirk” reverb base boosted, interspersed with clips of Amazon workers talking about how much they love their jobs while throwing away many large trash bags filled with a yellow tinted plastic water bottles. The whole thing takes three hours even though only the first book is adapted. This is because the show decides to confirm every single ship (including ones from later in the series) which requires the story to be reiterated in different timelines to cover all permutations of characters. Contradictorily to what you might think, all the gay and poly ships are included. They are all extremely out of character and toxic. Dragon/human ships are included and they are clearly based in physical attraction. After this the fandom collectively abandons the series out of shame. We destroy all artwork and fan fiction and the books themselves, salting the earth so nothing can ever grow here again. Our only legacy is thousands of very well executed analogue horror videos based on the show. After 50 years every former fan has been converted to Scientology or is dead. Everyone knows “Wings of Fire” just a stupid creepypasta made up by kids on the supernet. The only person who still believes it might be real is the jarred brain of Wendigoon’s nephew, Peacemaker. (The name is legitimately a complete coincidence, he’s named after a different character). After 100 years we are all living on the Moon, which is actually made of cheese like that one other ask said was true of the moons in the series, and the solar radiation has caused everyone to develop tiny useless wings on their feet. The Wings of Fire creepypastas are agreed to be attributed to the author of the Seekers series because everyone who made one had mysterious dreams and visions about her. After 1000 years Amazon has copyrighted the idea of Creepypastas. The only non-AI media people consume are creepypastas and Hazbin Hotel. The rapture happens but the only person taken is Tui Sutherland, who had apologized for accidentally promoting Terra Nullis through the portrayal of the Dungeon Isle in the Amazon creepypastas and is by that point morally pure. She’s kind of confused at being taken because she thought morality and atonement was a lot more complicated [the complexity of morality was one of the big themes in the creepypastas that were attributed to her] but it turns out that Hazbin Hotel logic is the real truth so if you just apologize you’re all good 👍 also she was in a blimp at the time of the rapture so that helped. Everyone left on the moon after the rapture falls into a deep sleep and collectively dream about living in the year 2026, when things were a lot better.

the end

also the tv show didn’t adapt Osprey

Again.

BRB gonna go kill some humans because they’re overpopulated and destroying the ecosystem. Xoxo 😘

love how vegans are literally pure evil like the devil incarnate for being "judgmental meanies!! >:(" meanwhile the carnist diet consists of the industrialized murder, rape, and torture of non-human animals. yeah actually i am kinda judging you for participating in slavery but you will live! not the animals though

[xxquilloo]

i actually live in a place where politicians are more interested in stopping kids from using websites than they are in arresting child predators.

get me out of here omfg.

It's funny how no matter what the world is like, teen suicide is always blamed on whatever moral panic is happening at the moment. The people blaming tiktok right now would've been the people blaming evil satanic cults forty years ago.

Like, of course Karen, kids were taught about climate change from a young age and have to watch as corporations destroy the world while many countries are becoming more right wing and authoritarian and identities that some kids have are demonized, forcing them either have to live with extreme dysphoria or be in danger, and they don't have any political power to change any of this, but no, kids are actually depressed because of youtube, rigghhhttt 🫩

[ghostbug]

just saw a tiktok of a girl talking about how going viral on tiktok saved her from being a child bride. and it’s not that anyone on tiktok did anything or she talked about it online, it’s that given her home environment and this being an arranged thing for her since she was about 12 made it all feel normal.

and then she goes viral on tiktok, people make comments about her appearance, and enough people stand up against that with “she’s literally 17. that’s weird. she’s a child” for her to start to question some things and realize how not okay her circumstances had been up until that point.

having access to the internet literally saved this girl. having social media and a phone and the ability to get outside perspectives from people who are not grooming her SAVED HER. this is the kinda shit we’re talking about when we talk about how important an unrestricted internet is. how important youthlib is. how terrifying “child internet safety” bills are.

freedom of information for kids in abusive and dangerous situations is life changing and life saving.

I know that comparison stuff is often unproductive and dumb, but there's just one thing that's been boiling my blood.

Some people consider the term 'ageism' to only be usable for the elderly but guess what? The old people who are oppressed the most are mostly oppressed due to disability, meanwhile with minors they don't even need to have a disability to face intense ageism.

Comparison is dumb, I know. We're all struggling, I know. But also, I wish people could realize and absorb the fact that minors do not have rights by default, meanwhile the most oppressed old people lost their rights via being disabled. One is wholly due to age, one is due to age but mostly something else that doesn't always have to be due to age.

So yeah, don't y'all dare act like old people are the priority (in a way that invalidates the struggles of minors) when lots of old people have way more privilege than minors do.
