It’s usually never about undeveloped frontal nodes. As anything can happen to anyone. Of course I agree with you that there’s something else wrong. But the usual case of blaming a teens undeveloped brain for something almost always can be traced to solid examples happening to adults.

I wonder what’s their excuse this time - the children or the terrorists.

– it’s the children.

“That would be an unspeakable atrocity”, yet there is contradiction in the final sentence. The issue is, what evidence is there to prove such thing operation actually works, as my last point implied - what stops the government from abusing this sort of operation. With “covert” operations like this the outcome can be catastrophic for everyone.

This particular platform used tor. It doesn’t mean all platforms are using privacy centric anonymous networks. There are incidents with people using kik, Snapchat, Facebook and other clear net services to perform criminal actions such as drugs or cp.

With the amount of sites that are easily accessed on the dark net though the hidden wiki and other sites. This might of been a honeypot from the start.

On the contrary, why would they announce that they seized the site? To cause more panic, and to exaggerate the actual situation?

In addition, that last point should be considered because even if they used these type of operations, honeypotting would still be considered illegal. So Ultimately what is stopping the supreme power to abuse that power on other people?

That’s why I find reddit so strange. Age gaps is apparently the most demonic thing you can do. No matter if you’re 19 dating a 17 or 34 dating a 27 you’re a huge red flag either way.

There is an excessive usage of the word ‘hunting’. What all those people are doing is admitting that they consider people as animals, or an “acceptable” way of harassment. And just like people who where in the kkk they don’t care who that person is, but that they’re the most vulnerable minority.

They should also change their name to ClosedAI while they’re at it.

I’m still surprised there are 32 bit apps out there that are supported still. It’s good to know there are people who are working to prevent e-waste.

Also that links2 thing is quite interesting.

Best dirt house there is

‘As children grow up they become more independent’, apparently privacy doesn’t apply in this case. I’m sure some students are annoyed at that fact that people trust them less and less.

(I’m looking at you, open source projects who direct their community to Discord)

This is surprisingly very common. Even for stuff that prioritise privacy. The interesting part is why discord is kept under the covers by everyone - despite its security offences, and anti-user practices.

There isn’t much talk about discord like there is about browsers. However, it might be just an undeveloped branch of the oss community.

Government when the elites use loopholes and do devious shit:

Government when the peasants use loopholes:

Straight to jail

COPPA is a joke sometimes, they don’t really protect and like other American orgs it probably is lobbied.

The best case would be to protect everyone’s privacy, not just the children OR teens. And if they wanted to help then they would’ve outlined other orgs like Facebook - but that’s an American org.

Unfortunately still doesn’t explain what to do when you’re covered in piss 😔

I agree, people on the internet sometimes come across as selfish. The problem is that it always is about if they like it or not and only care about their morals.

However, it might be different for lemmy.

A what now? Are they trying to setup a circus.

Some laws have little to no thought put into. This is one of them. Not only is this unnecessary but it would create more technological waste.
