@futurebird Provide the tools to allow users or their parents to control access for particular devices. We have had the technology to remotely control access to devices for years, every company that provides devices has some security on them to monitor and control usage. If the government ensured that everyone had access to this technology in an easy to use form then it seems that would solve the problem.I am not sure exactly what this would look like. My preferred solution would be a fork of a free OS like grapheneOS with a government curated allow list of sites, but pushing this problem to the network operators could be an easier solution, and allow the bill payer to choose the access levels of individual devices at the point of purchase.

@futurebird My understanding is that Wikipedia says they fall under the definition so would have to block themselves. The only sites the UK government have listed are 34 porn sites so people know where to go.

@rms Is it any more absurd than companies being persons?

@aral Can you support Ukraine without supporting the Zelenskyy governments right to the state monopoly on violence?

@futurebird This came out last year:404 Media previously reported Cox Media Group (CMG) was advertising a service that claimed to target ads based on what potential customers said near device microphones. Now, here is the pitch deck CMG sent to prospective companies. Google has kicked CMG off its Partner Program in response.https://www.404media.co/heres-the-pitch-deck-for-active-listening-ad-targeting/
