So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.
Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.
SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.
Ah okay, we have different priorities that I didn’t initially consider, my bad. I personally no longer think it’s worth bothering trying to manage the right’s views. However, I do organizing in youth (~18-24) spaces and see a lot of people saying what boils down to “I want to organize, but keep to myself because what if I say something wrong and get canceled?” and it frustrates me since they regularly quote the phrase “tone policing” as they say it. It’s probably like a sleeper activation phrase to me at this point and I got annoyed.
There needs to be a diversity of tactics, so even though I won’t do it, I hope you and yours can successfully stop more people from falling into this trap.
I think I should try to be less provocative with my words. Stomping into a conversation with loaded language is not the best way to get my points across, thank you for your demeanor.
I’m sorry, I specifically choose terms like this to set people off. I want them to figure out what actually triggers them about how I’m using the phrase and whether or not it’s valid.
I would just like us all to be a little more aware about the what’s and why’s surrounding things we get emotional about. Otherwise our emotions will inevitably be used against us, directly or indirectly.
