The larger the organization, the more people start looking like a number in a spreadsheet.

How can they send infected birds if birds don’t exist?

Mostly mathematics related blogs. For example john d cook, martin modrak, andrew gelman, ethan epperly

That’s a subject many never talk about: it assumes we (1) have morality all figured out and (2) it’s the same for everyone, everywhere.

How would you solve replay attacks? Like a million people, of age or not, sharing the same key?

Not at all. But that’s intentional, maybe?

Waauw, you really are unsympathetic.

Have you ever looked at how age rating systems work?

Good example: they are already used for example to censor the idea of non-heterosexual relationships (1). Don’t let them expand it, or give them even more tools, please.

Your stated goals already are achievable with existing tools.

How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?

It still requires arbitration of every digitally communicated thought, whether it’s age appropriate and to what degree. It’s mass thought policing, as well as trying to enforce a cookiecutter morality on every person.

I get the desire to enforce thoughts on someone else. But fight it, please. At least let people be free in their own mind.

Especially since the tools to achieve your stated goal, protection of your child(ren), are already available. So you can perform your censorship desire in the confinement of your family bubble. No need for collateral damage.

Or just block wikipedia and use one of the many encyclopedia websites designed for kids instead (1), (2). This has the benefit of having your goals met, without making the world a worse place for everyone else.

Which has been possible for decades now. People are just so dumb and lazy they rather accept a deep invasion of everyone’s privacy.

Allow listing sounds like the better solution. Ie the device had a list of remotes approved by the parents.

That way there’s no need to police every website in the world in perpetuity.

Adult privacy will be compromised.

Goal achieved. “Think of the children” is subterfuge.

Seems like you use the phrase “highly regulated” differently then me. You use it to describe solely the amount of control a government exercises on companies. For me it also includes the control a government exercises on people.

From my point of view the law heavily restricts, as in highly regulates, people’s freedom to be. That’s the mistake. Doesn’t matter the specific implementation, acronym, task force, …

A bit like this? https://github.com/chaitin/safeline

Cloudflare does a lot of things from DNS to tunnels. Can you describe the part you’re interested in?

has no business doing it.

Reddit is doing this as a response to regulation as well (1). Governments all around europe (2) are turning communications into a highly regulated environment (“for the children”), because they’re afraid of people communicating and having thoughts. UK is just one of the early adaptors.

Because all the alternatives will have to implement similar shit as well. It’s UK law.

I’ve once attempted to open a bank account where they wanted video proof, and expected me to say a randomly assigned phrase, to solve the issue you mention.

I didn’t do it. Fucking KYC is BS.

Marrying 8 kids should be illegal

I also wanted to recommend uptime kuma. Love it’s versatility. I combine it with ntfy.sh for near real time notifications.
