Comments

  1. Avamarsh: good that they're actually following through now with legislation
  2. Aiden: Can we really expect legislation to stem the tide of curiosity? Kids will find ways around this, I've seen it time and time again. What's stopping them from accessing these images
  3. Noel: good start but is blocking everything the right solution?
  4. Mirage Talon: I still remember the whole iPhone vs China VPN debacle, and now this. Pretty clear that some legislation is necessary here, but I'd love to know how they plan to define
  5. Null Vesper: what exactly constitutes "explicit" here, and how's it being defined?
  6. Adamsato: about the tech industry's supposed "volunteerism" with these issues always ending up as government intervention. Guess we can add blocking explicit content to the list of things they should
  7. Hollow Oracle: good, at least they're doing something after that debacle in the commons last month
  8. Talia: how are we only talking about blocking bad content and not actually solving the root issues ‍️
  9. Lundleo: finally someone's listening, the whole "parental controls" thing is just a facade
  10. Novasato: finally some concrete action being taken, about time
