    God forbid operating system had a flag that said “This device is used by a child” and it would be set by a fucking parent as part of parental controls and not nanny states.

    Instead we need to provide our photos and ID scans to some incompetent 3rd parties to prove we are in fact adults. Make parenting parent’s job not the government. What the fuck is this?

      I am sorry, but isn’t it 99% not about “children protection” but general surveillance for everyone wrapped up in a “pretty” package that plays, again, on fears as the parenting and unforeseen future backed up with the “time-saving” features for those who are in a hurry within the same system?

      “Problem” is, no one does that. And I get that its on the parents in that case but these lazy ass parents basically want the nanny state to nanny them. The people who want this basically are only allowed to get off on being repressed by some controling influence (God, the state, etc).

      It also means kids get around it. I used the parental controls on mybson’t Xbix but he would just go play stuff at his friend’s house.

      Also, mildly related, and maybe its changed, companies need to make it easier for parents to remove parental controls. Because if I remeber, back when I did that after he was older (he is like 27 now), it was a pain to remove his Xbox account from being associated with mine as a parent.

      This has nothing at all to do with actually protecting children. This is entirely about the fascist state cracking down on its citizens and restricting their freedoms.

        Yeah arguing with their disingenuous bad faith bullshit is… A lot. And you never win because the deranged pedophiles dont care about protecting children.

          I’m pretty sure that any deranged pedophile you meet on the street is not going to be concerned about the welfare of children…
