@taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org @yrrsinn@chaos.social @cy @jpaskaruk@growers.social >This is already a slippery slope fallacy.
The slippery slope has turned out not to be a fallacy time and time again.
See Debian for an example - it just keeps getting more and more proprietary.
>it would at most be a minor inconvenience to enter "01.01.1970" when you don't want to fill in your real DoB.
If you give the government a mm, they always take a km - the government *will* jump right in and make it illegal to enter a untrue DoB and also demand that further spying is implemented.
>so web browsers can tell visited websites whether the user's age is >= N.
The age of the user is none of the websites business and would allow for enhanced spying - such malicious feature must never be implemented.
>Not let their 14 year old ever use a web browser unsupervised?
Maybe that would be a good idea.
It really isn't that hard to be there and appear at random so browsing ends up supervised.
>that I'm now honestly wondering why this was never done before. This should have been a standard feature in any desktop OS since 40 years ago.
It was never done before since digging your own mass grave is a stupid idea. A bad idea that didn't exist 40 years ago should still not exist.
>They know that a good portion of their ad revenue comes from minors
I am dubious of that claim - most of the revenue seems to come from adults, who have a credit card, that are stupid enough to actually pay.
>the fact that they could become addicted or develop a taste for violent or degrading content or the like.
The chance of addiction is pretty much exactly the same as addiction to anything else.
Wait, when did it go from proprietary pornography to violence?
>But sure, even 0.001% is technically "some."
It's far greater than 0.001%.
>It really doesn't matter who commits a piece of code, if the code itself is harmless.
If the code is only useful for malicious purposes, it matters that someone has gone and written it.
>the more I like the idea of desktop OSs having a DoB field in user accounts, and a standard API for web browsers to access it, and a standard Web API for saying "user age >= N" like with an HTTP header.
You're liking enhanced mass surveillance more and more?
>at zero privacy cost
Your age is a large privacy cost - that data point alone can narrow things down massively and allow you to be precisely identified when combined with other metadata.
The real solution to the problem is to teach children right and teach them not to run proprietary JavaScript on their computer.
As proprietary porn sites don't show anything without proprietary JavaScript, children taught right will avoid those sites.
