Youtube got an exeption because Alphabet Inc. lobbied them to do so to get kids used to Youtube. Lemmy does not have the lobbying power like a mega corporation, plus, its a good excuse to get rid of a left-leaning platform, since governments tend to be against the left.
Governmemts doesn't care, any platform that empowers civillians to communicate with each other is "social media". Governments love to control and restrict communications.
Lemmy would be considered social media. Eventually they would be requiring social media to verify IDs. So Lemmy instances will be required to verify IDs or be banned from certain countries.
I think the normal fairphone is just stock android.
There is a "Murena" version of it sold by Murena that comes with e/os preinstalled, which is based on android and works with some android apps.
They only need to sustain the war till Jan 20.
After that, Putin commands the US military.
Are the "Upvote" and "Downvote" buttons "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons?
Because to me, they seem like de facto "Agree and "Disagree" buttons, whether or not it was the intent.
Life is politics tho.
Like a simple: "Ugh I'm struggling with being able to afford things" --> everyone starts blaming various politicians and political parties
The term "nanny state" typically refers to a government that intrude on every aspect of life that should not be the role of government.
Examples:
What food to eat.
Clothing to wear.
Places you are allowed to go.
What time you have to return home.
Bed times.
Having a non toxic school envionment or invervening in cases of child abuse is not typically under the unbrella of "nanny state".
Otherwise you'd be saying that any country that protects against child abuse to be a "nanny state".
No difference from a real headline...
Any stonger, and they wander into China "Great Firewall" territory.
Lets not make every country into an authoritarian shithole.
"We have signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever! We begin bombing in 5 minutes"
"Guns don't kill people, social media does!"

No, they're gonna download "free vpns" and get infected with malware and turn their device into part of a bot net.
Or use Tor and end up finding things worse than just "social media".
Are the government gonna ban those too?
Congrats, you now live in China where the all benevolent government have 24/7 surveillance to keep you safe.

Parents should be loving and caring and and set up restrictions on their phone and block acess to danger things, what these restrictions would entail is up to the maturity of each kid.
-
In the event that the parents are shitty horrible people, they should have supportative environment in school that can help them. Adults to talk to, classmates that friendly and form friendships
-
In case the parents are not just shitty, and become abusive, there should be a legal procedure to transfer them to suitable guardians.
-
Unfortunately, there are often shitty/abusive parents, school environment is also toxic, and then social services don't do anything about it. Therefore there should not be any restriction by the government on the internet. In case 1,2 and 3 all fail, the internet provides a last resort for peer support.
Before attempting to restrict internet access, first fix everything else.
Kids accessing social media shouldn't be treated as a crime.
The future of such restriction is:
Exhibit A: People's Republic of China and the "Great Firewall"
Nope, lets not go there.
Well I would forgive them if they didnt erase history from their classrooms, and claim they didn't do war crimes.
We can thank japan for the rise of the communists taking over china.
The KMT was about to wipe out the communist insurgents when japan invaded, had they not been imperalistic conquerers, there would not been CCP in China. Eventually the KMT led China would have to become democratic under western pressure. China would be like Taiwan today.
Thanks japan
Well I hope Australians are a homogenous society. Like they don't have racial minorities or LGBT kids that have to keep their identities closeted and have no one to talk to. Every Australian is so open and accepting amirite?
Imagine kids have conservative parents that would kick them out if they came out as LGBT, classmates are just constantly using "yo thats's gay" as an insult, while teacher and administrators dismiss any reports bullying. Have no adult they trust, and the same conservative parents would not let them see a therapist because that being "weak". Then when they wanna go online and vent and just have someone to talk to, the government steps in and "help" them by banning online communications.
"We Saved The Kids" Amirite?

elderly relatives sitting nearby
(/s Lol, luckily I don't know anyone that voted trump, I mean I don't know what distant relatives voted for, but they're in another state so I don't care 🤷♂️)
Lemmings, of Lemmy, Have you ever mudered anyone?
/s
But like real question: Why do people ask these type of questions?
Since the government can theoretically access the location of everyone's phone, wouldn't it be unsafe for an undocumented immigrant to have a phone?
So I've just been thinking about privacy, and how everyone's location can be tracked. Then I realized: What about people who have no permission to enter the country?
Like do they just decide to not have a phone, or do they still have phones and just roll the dice and hope they don't get caught?
Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
Like people always say reddit is filled with bots, but I looked through the users of the top posts and didn't find evidence that they are bots.
Like how do you know who is a bot? Is there things to look out for?
Edit: And I'd appreciate it if there are real examples of bots getting caught and the evidence of them being bots.
Lemmings, how good or bad would you decribe your ability to remember things?
Recently, my life feels like a blur, like I dont really remember what happened even in the past 2 weeks, and this has cause me some anxiety.
I just want to know if this is what everyone's memory is like.
How much of your life do you remember, like do you only remember major events in your life, or do you remember like what you have been doing for the past 2 weeks.
What I mean is like, if someone asked you "So, what have you been last week"
You can come up with an answer like:
"So I watched [X] movie on Netflix on Monday, went to a nearby park on Tuesday, ate at [X] restaurant on Wednesday, found a new interesting Youtube Channel to watch on Thursday, petted a friendly neighborhood cat on Friday..." etc...
And like you can still remember what happened that week the following Monday.
Like obviously most people wouldn't remember what they ate every meal, but like just one major event that happened each day.
I feel like I don't remember shit. Not a single event.
Should "Bad People" deserve a respectful burial?
I mean, this question is not just about normal criminals.
Think like very bad crimes. Like serial killers, rapists, child rapists, terrorists, corrupt officials, terrible leaders, cruel dictators, generals that ignore laws of war, or like people has bad as Hitler. Which of these people do you think deserve a respectful burial, if any.
Is there a level of evilness that you think should not be allowed to have a proper buriel or have their corpses mutilated. Or should everyone deserve a respectful burial regardless of crimes.
I personally don't even know how to answer this question myself. Like the funeral isn't even for the dead. Its for the living. So to me, the question seems like, should the relatives of a bad person be allowed to see the corpse treated respectfully. I personally don't have an answer to this question.
Couldn't governments just remotely disable phones nearby to prevent evidence of police brutality from being recorded?
I mean, I see "leaked" videos of protests in authoritarian countries like China and just wonder why they dont just like make a backdoor that disables videos from being recorded. Or use some sort of 0-day exploit that installs malware on their phones and disable cameras.
I mean, I can't be the only one that thought of it, right? Surely someone in the government would've thought of it.
Wonder why such tactic isn't being used.
What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it?
So I kinda just realized I didn't sleep for the past 24 hours. Noy sure if it's the longest I've been awake, but probably of the top 5 longest. I'm dealing with depression so my sleep cycle have been fucked up. Got coffee I think around the 12th hour mark.
I've basically just been watching youtube videos, browsing lemmy. Googled random things.
Idk why, I guess I just wanted some dopamine boost from coffee and now I can't sleep lmao. Maybe a bit of anxiety around certain recent political events.
I honestly am not sure if I'm actually awake or dreaming.
Anyways, what is the longest time you've been awake without sleep? When did it happen and why?
Do y'all actually read articles or just the headline?
I'll be honest, I don't even want to read articles anymore. Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control. I just post something sarcastic or jokes in the comments. The only thing I care is if a hurricane is headed in my direction.
Y'all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?
