It does make sense. Just like it would make a lot of sense for parental leave to be the same length for both parents, and mandatory to be taken. Sure, it’s the mother who has given birth and needs the time to medically recover, but that’s not the only use of the parental leave. Both parents need to bond with the baby and take care of it. And if you make it the same length and mandatory you remove any argument against hiring women “because they might get pregnant”.

Same principle, better outcome for everyone.

Catalan here, always funny to see monolinguals be shocked when China does it but turn around and see nothing wrong with Spain imposing Spanish to all its regions in the same way

But when Spain or France does the same to its own minorities nobody cares

The refusal is not because of the “bombing a school” specifically, it’s about the “starting a war to cover pedophiles” thing

Glad it’s getting better for him, but we should not forget that their conditions in a Japanese zoo are still fucking terrible.

There are other ways to ban social media for minors that don’t go through full fledged online IDs for everything. But you seem to want to ignore that, it’s a false dichotomy.

Banning social media for minors (or better yet, opaque algorithmic feeds for everyone) = Good.

Trying to achieve that by giving overreaching powers to a government, that can be used as a tool of oppression when democracy wavers = very bad.

As for low trust societies, mate, I’ve been gassed, beaten up and shot at with rubber bullets by riot police in Spain, for the egregious crime of peacefully protesting. It’s a country where the memory of the dictatorship, and it’s power structures, are still very much alive. Francoism never fully left

I don’t want them to use it. I agree with all your points.

I strongly disagree that mandatory ID on the net is the solution to this.

It also fascinates me that you’d think putting such a tool, with all the trouble it could cause if our countries stop being democracies, in the hands of government as a purported solution to children being on social media. That’s throwing out the baby with the bathwater

A government platform you say? From the government that regularly gets hacked, leaking the IDs of millions of Spanish citizens that can now be used to commit identity fraud? https://hipertextual.com/seguridad/hackers-venta-millones-dni-espanoles-dark-web/

and it’s not like this is a rare thing to happen.
