      Government’s got their tails up on this one because they feel they want to impress heavyweights like Macron and Sanchez – the people who really count to them.

      Some day we will look back on children being able to access social media carte blanche and wonder how on earth we thought it a good idea.

      Edit: and yes of course – uploading digital ID is hard to swallow but what’s the alternative?

      Kids shouldn’t be on the internet at all without adult supervision. It should never have been allowed. Its insane that they have access to porn and violence/gore at such a young age not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of ways predators can contact them online.

      I agree children shouldn’t be on social media, but if the solution is digital ID for everyone then I’m against this

      I just wonder, will that not force kids to use TOR to browse a little bit darker side of internet with 0 verification? Will that not make people use more torrents more?
      I have no intention of sending any ID’s anywhere or verifying my age and if i will lose access to all my social media platform so be it, maybe even better.

      Did they not do this in Australia a while ago? I’m all for it. I’m personally reducing my screen time this lent.

      I hate that it has come to this. For any parents out there figure out the parental controls on your child phone and activate them. On Android whenever someone tries to install an app you’ll have to give permission. Furthermore you can set a family friendly DNS on your home wifi or on individual devices that filter out adult content, Cloudflair offers this for free

      I’d rather they just ban platforms that do not actively prevent dangerous or illegal material from being circulated. TikTok and Twitter for example.

      social media is a bit of a balls but its a bit odd given the government refused to do anything about the twitter ai child abuse image thing but are willing to do this

      What about parents be parents and limit their children time on screens instead?

    12. oddun on

      Just in time to have an AI buddy instead lol

      Who needs real friends huh?

      So transparent.

      And access to porn that children currently have? Any plans there?

      „The current institutional landscape is sacred and perfect, and it is up to each family to police their members‘ engagement with the internet“.

      I have happily deleted all other social media, and if reddit asks for ID verification, I will quite happily delete that too. And so will a lot of other people. I doubt billionaire tech companies will allow the Irish government to hurt their bank accounts.

      Maybe I don’t know legislation around their algorithm the most powerful digital tool in the world?

      It’s good Simon Harris listens sometimes, I suppose. He sure as shit isn’t „clearly hearing“ the homeless parents in this country. 

      Watch the gormless fool McEntee fuck up the legislation on this.

      Social media is a bullying tool, get rid of the platforms and leave the education tools.

      Watching government reactions like this reminds me of being a kid and one parent heard a runour like PlayStation gives kids arthritis in their thumbs or something unsubstantiated then spreads that idea to the other uninformed parents and they as a group embraced the ignorance. Replace that with moral panics about various artists or films. In this case governments are looking to restrict social media for young people which isn’t a bad idea but the course seems to be pushing for linking real IDs to online accounts eroding your privacy and holding zero accountability to the social media companies that buy design hurt people and profit from it.

      I find it so interesting that Irish leaders are incapable from learning from our European partners when it comes to stuff like housing or transport policy. But as soon as the UK does some authoritarian nonsense, you can be pretty certain the Irish government is hot on their heels.
