Comment on This Kid-Friendly Laptop Build is The Antidote to Age Verification by Bob the builder

"No reasonable elementary school would allow it’s library to contain a book that humiliates it’s pupils, or contains embarrassing photos of it’s pupils or even generic books that objectify girls."

People were really mad and even protesting when books that objectify children, promote harmful behavior such as promoting sex apps for 8 year old's, mutilating their own bodies etc, were being removed from libraries (that actually happened, I read a few chapters of some of these books and was mortified by the contents). Things 8 year old's shouldn't be reading and things I don't even think most adults should read. Explicit books at elementary schools are a terrible idea, no matter what the purpose is. If the parents think it might be a good idea to read this in private with added context, sure, but that's not the job of a school.

"Governments need to help parents because big tech doesn’t really want to."

Parents should think twice before giving children access to the internet. If you still don't understand that the internet is not a safe place, then you really shouldn't be using it. It never was a safe space, it never will be a safe space. That's not the job of big tech. Big tech is not responsible for that at all.

Parents should watch their children, parents should raise their children. That's not the job of the government, it's not the job of big tech, it's not the job of schools. Pathos is always used to pass laws that infringe on the rights of the general population. The goal, the only goal that the government should have, is to protect peoples private property. Viva la Bastiat.
