Twitter is shit, but France went really nuts.
Never expected the place known for nude beaches and a president who married a pedophile to be one that implemented this kind of block.
Kids would be better off on pornhub
Sad to see France is heading this direction, Canada was very close to heading this route too, thankfully it didn't end up that way.
Tbh adult content is probrally the most respectable content you can find on X, especially compared to the constant Nazis and genocide apologetic liberals.
Liberals are genocide apologists?!
Everyone should have content filtering tools. I use Adguard services for filtering my own internet (adult, Reddit, YouTube, etc.). Surely, implimenting something similar at an OS or router level would have saved us decades of pointless bickering and provided us with an actual consumer benefit?
I don't know if they still do it, but some mobile internet providers in the UK would filter things out unless you sent them your ID to unblock it.
Not sure it's a great solution, but better than having to provide your ID to every random website out there.
Having to provide Id to any entity to access internet pages is dystopian and fucked up, sounds just like the UK.
Not that the USA is better at all
I think it's mostly because it's a SIM only thing and anyone can send off for one.
If you want it, that should be your right, but the government shouldn't be forcing it on you.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying governments could force MS, Google, Apple to implement content filtering tools at the OS level, that give users the choice to set up filtering however they want for themselves or their kids.
This already largely works, at least on Android. I use RethinkDNS, which allows me to filter stuff already, and comes included with a host of DNS filters out of the box.
I don't need MS, Google, or Apple to do it, just make it possible to install a third-party app that does it. That way I get to decide which tool I think works best instead of whatever the OEM decides.
what does that have to do with France forcing you to show your ID to use Twitter?
Those against website age verification argue that content blocking should happen at the OS level. For example, a parent could enable the built-in "child mode" on their child's smartphone or computer. As I understand it, that would be more effective, graceful, cheaper, free speechy, and private. To a degree, tech savvy parents (and people who block ads and other content) already do similar things with third party tools - i.e. it's feasible.
Sure if that was all they had in mind. This is also about collecting info and controlling what people can do, the content is just an excuse as a means of doing so.
Well, yes, there is that.
Everyone in France already subbed to VPNs for the pornhub block. This won't even result in a traffic hiccup.
Elon probably punching air rn
That's the only thing he's ever punched.
Why is every country dreaming of becoming south korea?
The site formerly known as Twitter would be more respectable these days if it were a porn site.
It's not? Thought that's the main use.
I like my porn to be less faschy and more flashy.
Yeah alright, but dem uniformed forms though..

Fucking ridiculous. Might as well do the same for sites like Tumblr, Reddit, even Youtube. "Protecting" kids comes at the expense of everyone else.
Won't somebody think of the children [who should be raised by their parents, not governments]?
Its not about protecting kids, even if they say it is.
Oh, of course not. Just the given excuse. Honestly, people being so obsessed with minors jacking off is creepy. Who cares? If it's a problem, then the parents can deal with it.
As a parent, I'm with you.

This is kind of hilarious. Right wingers seek to limit privacy by forcing age verification online, and then the right wing social network gets caught in the same net. It hurt itself in it's confusion.
Why is anyone still on X anyway? Its AI bot trash.
Because artists are still there.
