    Gotta put a lot of trust in some third party company not to reveal all the kinky stuff you watch that's tied to your identity.

        A few years ago YT suddenly started to enforce their system of not allowing me to watch videos tagged as 18+, my account was 17 years or so old, but I had never verified it, then it ticked over to 18 years old a few months later, and everything works now...

              "For the children" is simple subterfuge.

                I can't watch a lot of youtube videos because of that, as that made them require an account.

                This legislation will make sure everything gets locked behind an identifying login, lest a bad word might appear, and they get fined.

                Good for the platforms and government ofcourse. It's only us people that lose.

                Move along now. The joined corporate government newspeak will save you from evil. Feel like something's wrong? Here are your ssri's, osempic, and an AI best friend to keep you company 😚

                  Nah, I'm a parent and don't buy into this "think of the children" bullshit. Only the most gullible think that it's a legitimate reason. It's always been about govt surveillance.

                  I just teach my kids to not be total morons online, and clamp down on their internet activities myself. You know, like a parent should be doing.

                      Bruh, I've been 18+ since I was 14! 😁

                      Also, this is just another way to collect personal data that you'd never willingly give up through normal interaction with their platform.

                        You basically have to go there to view the NSFW content, don't you? I looked around some server federation rules and it seems like most servers block that one's local communities. (It doesn't appear to be out of ill will for the server, as most of them still allow federation of non-NSFW communities... But I imagine it's a large chunk of data to federate with very little reward since most Lemmy servers are run on little more than donations, volunteer efforts, and fumes.)
