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?!
Nazi propaganda: I sleep
Porn: Real shit
Never expected the place known for nude beaches and a president who married a pedophile to be one that implemented this kind of block.
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.
Everyone in France already subbed to VPNs for the pornhub block. This won't even result in a traffic hiccup.
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..
The titter side was better
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.
Twitter is shit, but France went really nuts.
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.
Religious nut are offended because they felt funny.
I felt a tingle in my dingle and now I'm going to make it everyone's problem. - pretty much every religious leader
Which is funny because it pairs so well with the agenda of the corporatists and fascists, who could give a shit about religion but would love to track you online even more.
I'm certain that religion is responsible, and has been, for nearly every conflict in the last 1500 or so years. Yet, it seems to be entirely ignored by leftists (conservatives don't have a reasonable view) as the cause of problems.
I think you're confusing Liberals with Leftists.
I can't remember a single self-proclaimed "Communist" nation that wasn't anti-Religion.
Tolerance of Religion comes from the Liberal political beliefs side (which many people who are also Leftwingers have) and the modern "Liberals" in places like the US and UK (which are Rightwingers) are the ones who stretch it well beyond tolerance to the point of deeming criticism of some Religions (but not others) as a bad thing, or in other words, activelly supporting certain religions and their values (which as you pointed out, tend to be Corporatist and Fascist).
In summary, Authoritarian Leftwingers tend to be anti-Religion, Liberal Leftwingers tend to tolerate Religion and "Liberal" Rightwingers at the very least defend and sometimes even support certain specific Religions (as far as I can tell, the ones supported by their local money and power elites) but not others.
I can't remember a single self-proclaimed "Communist" nation that wasn't anti-Religion.
Besides historical trends and stuff (like how push to literacy denied religion it's power), 'communist' governments directly competed with religion on the ideological table.
Soviet people were given an afterlife-like myth of finally building the communism via socialism, for example, Lenin was a handy translation of Jesus, and so on. All pieces felt into existing sockets, that's how it worked out. It's a win for however found that conversion of ideas for the masses.
(I tolerate faith, I hate religious institutions)
Honestly, it seems that Christianity is the only one mentioned as a problem, normally with a big disclaimer about "not all Christians". Judaism is only really mentioned explicitly with "Judeo-Christian values", as if the founding fathers were staunch members of either religion, which most were not. Authoritarian governments like controlling religion because it can control the people. Leftists (at least the ones I've seen) are mostly ignoring the issues of other religions. Conservative critiques of religion tend to just be actual racism, without criticising the actual problems present.
I'm shocked you're missing the rabid anti-Islamism in most of the West - I mean, half of the support in the West for what Israel is doing comes from the whole "Muslims are violent" idea which in turn derives from over a decade of portraying the phenomenon Sunni Islamit Extremism (which is a tiny minority) as a problem of that religion in general (which is hilarious if one is well informed enough to know that for example, Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the World).
Not that I'm saying that Islam is any better than the rest, by the way, just pointing out the level of prejudice about it from people who literally know nothing at all about it (learning a bit about it is enough to figure out it's pretty complex and learning a bit more is enough to figure out it's as fucked up as most other major religions, just not in the way people think)
Then, of course, there's the whole looking down on animist religions (most of which are African) as "savagery", and also a bit so for Hinduism.
In the West maybe only the Eastern ones like Buddism and Shintoism don't get looked down on, probably because the former was a New Age fad over here and the latter is unknown to most people (and those who do know it, associate it with Japan, which is a country that most people see in a positive light).
The actual religion of Christinanity gets criticized by at most very highly educated agnostic or atheists, whilst for most of the other religions, their practictioners are negativelly viewed by even the most ignorant and ill informed of morons that has no clue whatsoever about the tenets of those religions or the boundary between regional cultural practices and the actual religions.
Correct. Muslims and those that don't practice Christianity are absolutely seen as lesser, which tends to be part of Christianity's being seen as absolutely factual, and all those that don't believe the exact same things are unenlightened savages and/or Satan worshippers. People don't judge Muslims for their actual beliefs, they judge them because of their preconceptions of Islam, which is that its practitioners are all insane, violent, west hating terrorists. I meant that even most reasonable people at most blame some certain ideas of Christianity while neglecting to mention the issues of any other religion or Christianity as a whole. That's not to say that Christianity isn't causing the bulk of the problems caused by religion, it's more that there's other religions that cause more regional problems. I was raised Mormon, which is a group that is widely ignored or tolerated as a strange but reasonable enough cult. It is not. They have some DEEEPPLLYYYY troubling beliefs, including those that they pretend don't exist and never have, namely racism, which only officially ended in 1979 (they wanted to keep tax exempt status), but continues to this day. There's also the homophobia, transphobia, classism, and all other manners of bigotry. They have hundreds of billions of dollars and 2.3 million acres in the US. They own 2% of the state of Florida. They're dangerous. They drive lgbtq+ kids to kill themselves. One of the current leaders approved conversion therapy experiments at BYU when he was the president there. I'm not an expert on Hinduism, I just know what I learned in my 8th grade history class. From what I learned, the upper castes basically colonized India, said that they were better because the religion they imposed on the lower castes said they were, destroyed any sense of class mobility, and had it set up so that their ethnic group would always be in power. Not an expert, any of that could be wrong. Yet, none of that is criticized by conservatives, they just spout untrue racism, probably because they agree with the bad stuff. There's good and bad things to look for in every religion. Conservatives don't know anything about the good or most of the bad, leftists don't really know anything either, but especially ignore the bad. I'm going to finish a this by saying, just because someone believes some wild shit, doesn't mean it's okay to treat them worse than abyone else. God, this is so fucking long lmao
Leave it to the Macron government to do the right thing in the wrongest way possible.

twitter is an adult site though. i'd argue reddit is too youtube no since they do not allow explicit content
Why is anyone still on X anyway? Its AI bot trash.
Annoyingly many artists still use it, and for some it's their only platform they post at any regularity, except for paid posts on patreon. I haven't used Twitter as a social media site for almost a decade now, but my "twitter only" art list still has 18 people on it.
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.
If it's just Elon who suffers I'm fine.
