      Notable excerpt:
      > „All social media platforms under NYCOSA would be required to turn off open chat functions, which allow adults to instantly and privately communicate with child users whether or not they know such child or have been previously connected. Unconnected users would also be barred from viewing the profile of a child user, tagging them in a post, or sending them digital currency. Parents would be able to override these default privacy settings and switch to a different setting, however, if they so choose.“

      Although it may seem that only social media sites would be affected, the bill specifically states that all online platforms, including video games, which have a live chat feature for their users, are required to implement age verification measures, and ban anyone under the age of 18 from using communication features.

      another bill spearheaded by fascists who seek to divide the free and open internet.

      Including gaming like Xbox live? Kids are going to burn NY down if so. Going to look like France when the gov pisses those kids off

      All of these ‚child safety‘ bills are attempts to link adult user’s government ID to their online activity. None of them are actually about protecting kids and none of them would actually do so

      Sounds like a great idea!

      With the best of intentions!

      *What could possibly go wrong?*

      Even if we pretended this wasn’t about monitoring citizens and stealing their data via IDs, this seems way too harsh. I’m all for the idea of actually making sure kids are safer online and have more of a healthy relationship with the internet, but this means kids can’t have a space online for themselves at all. I think they should be able to have their own space the way we used to with stuff like Neopets, Club Penguin, etc.

      Prior restraint of free speech has been struck down multiple times, not sure how this would be seen any differently.

      Love it!!! Every college freshmen in NY will not be able to communicate online, post any homework until they turn 18. Remote learning in NY schools will be banned, amazing. Can’t wait for this to go into effect.

      This sounds insane. Especially when people in NY can and do graduate high school at 17 sometimes (just based on normal cutoffs, without skipping grades). This happened to me, and I also was in college for a semester when I was 17. It sounds like that would make it really difficult to get involved in community things for people in that kind of position since these days even irl things are handled partially online on social media.

      Texts are delivered via the internet these days.

      Every child in New York just lost their only line of communication to their parents.

    15. Randomnesse on

      LOL, hopefully all social media platforms will just ban all NY users of all ages (including people who created this bill) instead of dealing with this BS.

    16. Lucid_Insanity on

      This is such a lazy, halfed ass solution. We know it’s not about protecting kids, but still. Pretty bad deal.

      Literal first amendment violation and an obvious attempt at surveillance

      These ‚acts‘ really have no clue or even intention to solve the problems. They are just there to cause even more issues and just give the ‚illusion‘ of doing something while taking a jackhammer to stuff that is not gonna fix anything.

      Also, all of this ‚ID‘ bills are basically the same. ‚Give ALL your info and what you are doing to the government and be under constant surveillance. Not for safety but so they can use it against you anytime they want‘.

      Sooo… I wouldn’t be able to send my own kid a Google Chat message asking them what time they were coming home? Cool. Well thought-out.

    21. OpinionatedNoodles on

      There’s always a dumber version.

      I just can’t believe a whole new generation is falling for the „save the children“ shtick again.

    22. HarlanCedeno on

      I grew up in NY and I can assure you: the children care DEEPLY about the thoughts of their Senate

    23. Brokenspade1 on

      Younger people are typically the most active group in protests and organized efforts at change.

      My gut says, this isn’t about their safety. It’s about control of the part of a population most prone to political action.

    24. DingbattheGreat on

      Nothing like information tracking and gathering becaue a law means knowing the demographics of every person online then buying and selling that data to the highest bidder.

    25. Alklazaris on

      If my account is 18+ years old then I see absolutely no reason to give them information whatsoever.

    26. RepresentativeFar610 on

      Parents could also try parenting more. Sure, if a kid is adamant enough, they’ll find other ways around it/ sites to go on. But it starts with the parents for sure

    27. W031zMe on

      More like Children Online Repression Act. There does need to be a line drawn but, it should be the parents responsibility to do so as they see fit. No two children are the same, especially developmentally.

    28. Extasio on

      How about investing in education and internet safety classes instead of building a mass surveillance state ? Oh wait, it’s got nothing to do with keeping kids safe? Who would of guessed.

    30. NetSage on

      This is stupid! You should simply lay down the law on the bad actors we know we have right now. Prime example probably being Roblox.

    31. Vladmerius on

      I want every last person on board with these so-called safety laws to go fuck themselves and to burn in hell when their time one day comes. These are so clearly laws designed to put everyone under surveillance and to ensure youth can’t learn about the real world and are forced into curated bubbles of fake news to mold them into obedient little slaves. 

    32. Rehcraeser on

      prosecute the companies for being intentionally negligent about pedos on their platforms? nah. force people to give their IDs to shady companies who arent responsible with our data and ban kids from the internet. seems legit.

    33. OhMyLanta70 on

      This is horrible. Don’t punish us when parents don’t pay attention to what their kids are doing online

    34. funnylookinorange on

      aw yeah, forcing kids to redirect to sites that don’t follow the law if they’d like to stay online, what an amazing idea!

      Surely this will have no negative side effects!
