     @Gargron if these are going to be the laws going forward, as governments across the western world seem to be taking identical lock-step action, what's left that can still be accessed for those young people?

     They will need a completely decentralized social alternative with no corporation/centralizing element. This might actually turn out to be the catalyst that the internet needs to become fully decentralized.

     I expect those young people will find a way forward, perhaps to benefit us all.

     @Gargron back then we had IRC and things was a lot more relaxed and yes we did send mirc killing dcc commands when entering channels to get rid of all the microsoft users 😂 🤣

     @Gargron
     And we still can, as this legislation is targeted at the most dangerous and exploitative techbros.

     Mastodon is a wonderful alternative and I'm so glad I found a community here.

     Huge 👏 to you for making it happen.

     @Gargron i don't know what it will cause to the youth exactly but what i know is in a way, these pedophiles are using childs in order to implement their survellience missions. it's kinda a humaliation and condescending ritual. not saying that there are no sheeps that needs observation but..

     @Gargron Same. The forum communities I helped run were very welcoming to young people, and we always tried to treat them fairly, much like we had been treated fairly when we were younger.

     And when I was a little bit older, and the US started to push their COPPA laws, children under 13 were suddenly ostensible banned from everywhere.

     Things have been going down hill since then. Big Tech has fucked up the social fabric of the internet, and now draconian laws are here to deal the finishing blow.

     @Gargron Unfortunately the internet is a much more toxic place than when we were teens.

     @Gargron This is a BS policy from a weak desperate leader, pandering to the right. If he had a spine he'd do something to actually help people.
     If he cared about child safety and had a spine, he'd regulate the SM platforms, make them responsible for bad content.

     @Gargron I grew up in the 1970s and had a great childhood with many connections with no electronic devices except TV and radio.

     Phones can enable greater access but face to face is an order of magnitude different.

     @Irisherself This is a bit of a silly question when you think about it for a bit, right?

     @Irisherself Then you should surely understand how much time, effort, and money goes into it? And that it's quite impractical to turn everything around 2 weeks before move date because of something that just happened?

     @Irisherself If you start following any country's politics you start finding stupid laws and politicians, what other anglophone country where some friends and family live do you think I should be moving to instead?
