    I completely agree Internet should be regulated especially for children. Should be done in Europe as well. But of course this regulation should not be misused for propaganda.

      Look I will be clear to you. You can not have a free and open internet and governments unable to misuse their power to shutdown websites, information whenever they please. And at the same time regulate the internet “to protect the children”. You can’t have both at the same time.

        The internet is firmly in the grasp of mega corporations. There is no free internet anymore. This shit needs to be regulated.

          This is really good point. The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

            A tiny niche that’s only accessible to people who know how the internet works. Ask your regular Joe if they’ve even ever heard of the Fediverse. Kids will flock to the easiest accesibke and largest platforms. Not Lemmy. And even Lemmy would be toxic for kids.

        Not to mention parents staying the fuck out of other parent’s business.

        Don’t bring state violence down on other people because you don’t want to watch your own damn kids.
