I am sorry I didn’t realize this was an echo chamber where you can only voice validating and approving opinions.

I mainly think banning SM is better than trying age verification or some other way to exclude children. If it is 99% toxic trash then it should just be banned.

Next in line is 99% of all porn, which is also toxic trash. If one applies the same logic as previously, then it should be banned too.

Unregulated use of morphine (heroine) is bad, thus we ban it.

It is interesting though how strongly you react to porn specifically getting banned. Maybe you should reflect on that.

Don’t worry, neither porn or social media will ever get banned :) but the fact that you react so negatively to it should perhaps make you reflect upon your own habits, the way people using social media should reflect upon theirs.

I have been pro banning all for-profit social media for years. I can live without Reddit. Especially now with Lemmy and fediverse. I can even live with no social media whatsoever. We should probably ban all porn too. It is just as brain rotting as social media. I say this as someone who does watch porn. I can live without it if society gets better from banning it.

They are not entirely wrong for not trusting them though. I have broken more than one Ubuntu installs… and I consider myself a semi-advanced user.

If more windows people join and Ubuntu wants to keep them, they need protection from doing stupid things like uninstalling all display and graphics drivers or system critical packages…

Don’t underestimate people’s stupidity, at least that something that Microsoft and apple get right.

It can be both. I am certain that there isn’t one explanation for it. What i describe is the feedback loop. What you describe is the initial conditions. Combined they spell disaster.

This is why we have so much tribalism, polarization and extremism today too though. People find their information bubble, gets validated for the shit they say (i.e. emotional support), feel good about it so they post more and more extreme shit and validate (give emotional support) to others in the bubble.

Now you have an extremist movement. Getting emotional support/validation from strangers on the internet is not always a good thing. Even if it makes you feel less anxious. Some people should feel anxious about the things they think about.

How long before the EU parliament manages to sabotage this deal too?

As opposed to what? What alignment do you have and what fictional media do you get your world view from? TASS and Chinese state news? Give me a fucking break.

Wow that is completely insane. Did you get that from Russian and Chinese history books? Spoiler alert, they are full of lies. That’s completely unhinged and false, any credible source will tell you otherwise. You have been fooled and Indoctrinated by propaganda and misinformation.

Russia invaded Chechnya and committed an atrocious genocide in 1999-2000, invaded Georgia in 2008, then invaded Crimea 2014, then the Donbass in 2015. The full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is not the start of history. Russia has plenty to things to hold them accountable of, even more if you go back into the cold war era and after world war 2. Not to mention their daily attacks on civilians in Ukraine.

China is currently illegally occupying Tibet since 1951 and it is daily committing crimes against humanity on the Muslim minority Uyghur in the Xinjiang. They have illegally claimed ownership of the South China sea (simply a formal name and does not mean it belongs to them) and are daily harassing and ramming fishing boats from other nations who have legal rights to fish there, a blatant breach against international laws.

These two nations break against international laws every single day. They are just like the USA. The difference is that USA pretends to be a law abiding democracy, while China and Russia doesn’t. They are both unapologetic dictatorships with nothing but malice and ill intent for everyone but themselves.

Roses are red and violets are blue, You have been misled, for that isn’t true
