If Alito steps down (My feeling is that he deserves to be thrown out) then the Senate D's should refuse to confirm any Cheato nominated successor.
Better to let the SCOTUS seat stay empty rather than have yet another trump sycophant.

Me: "Why did you write this in the manual:
Press Ctrl Alt Del, Start Taskmanager
You could have just written "Press Ctrl Alt Esc"
Them: "People of a certain age are more familiar with Ctrl Alt Del"
Me: "The people you are thinking of remember that as the key to restart the computer!"
Them: 🤯
I see no sign of any recognition from those who would want such a ban that they see any of the collateral damage a successful ban would have on the majority of kids who are not falling for this bullshit. That they are banning any good at all along with the bad.
Under 18s only
I see that the lobbying for these laws are funded by the absolute worst companies on the internet, those who will be entrenched by the legal compliance costs, that will cement themselves as the arbitrators of who is allowed to access the internet.
It’s a gift to Palantir and other surveillance companies. The very people running these algo-feeds are the ones who benefit from IDing every user and stalking them across the internet on their government-approved internet-licence IDs.
I don’t think even a successful ban on social media for kids would actually address the issue of kids being exposed to sexism and misogony or reduce the kids alienation and depression.
A ban can’t help, will make many things worse, won’t address the problem, and will make competing with the worst surveillance capitalists on the planet more difficult.
Going to war with every internet site and advice forum and making internet access harder won’t fix anything, and will have massive collateral damage against everyone seeking support from strangers or trying to learn things their parents won’t teach them.
But I see we are going to do it anyway.
The direction is clear.
Those companies do get what they lobby for, and they are lobbying hard for ID checks on every website, wrapping their desire to enclose the internet commons for themselves in a faux concern for children’s welfare.
And governments wish to monitor and control the internet, so they will pass these laws.
I wonder how many parents have a family group-chat that they’re going to accidentally ban their kids from using, not realizing that ‘social media’ might include Whatsapp? 😆
It won’t fix anything, it will make the situation for kids worse, impose costs and rents and hacks and exploits on all of us, and increase government and corporate power.
Many will lose access to their networks of support and help.
So it goes.
We will build a better more censorship resistant internet. It’s already here really: Briar. Matrix. Nostr. Bitchat. Veilid. Spritely. And the rest.
The laws may push us there faster.
The race will go on.

Dateiname "IMG_4832.jpg" sagt Google nichts. Alt-Text fehlt. Format ist JPEG statt WebP. Lazy Loading? Fehlanzeige.
Dabei ist Bilder-SEO low-hanging fruit: Beschreibende Dateinamen, Alt-Text mit Kontext, WebP mit Fallback, Lazy Loading ab Bild 2. Kostet einen Nachmittag, spart Ladezeit und bringt Traffic über die Bildersuche.
