In Estonia c’è anche una Kallas intelligente: l’Europa dovrebbe regolamentare le grandi aziende tecnologiche invece di vietare ai bambini l’accesso ai social media.
Vietare ai ragazzi l’uso dei social media non funzionerà, perché “troveranno molto rapidamente il modo di aggirare il divieto e di continuare a utilizzarli”, ha dichiarato la ministra dell’Istruzione estone Kristina Kallas.
Grazie a @stefan per la segnalazione
@informapirata @informatica @stefan perdona la provocazione, ma … secondo questa logica dovremmo che so togliere il divieto di vendere alcolici, o sigarette, o riviste pornografiche ai minorenni, tanto trovano il modo di aggirare i divieti e ci arrivano ugualmente.
Come argomentazione mi sembra un po’ fallace
@mrphelz ci sono alcune differenze tra il divieto di vendere alcolici, sigarette o riviste pornografiche ai minori e la verifica dell’età:
Come ben sai infatti i ragazzi possono trovare alcolici, sigarette o riviste pornografiche in casa propria o in casa d’altri: e allora pensa se fosse necessario per chiunque dimostrare la propria età, ogni volta che bevi un Campari, fumi un sigaro o sfogli una rivista pornografica e non solo quando li devi acquistare.
Capisci che a essere fallace è proprio questa similitudine.
Oggi purtroppo la politica:
- sta facendo finta che non esistano le responsabilità delle BigTech
- sta facendo finta che non esistano le responsabilità genitoriali
- sulla base di questa finzione, sta provando a limitare la libertà personale di tutti gli adulti
- sta criminallizzando la pornografia e la sta rendendo una merce meno accessibile e quindi più ambita
Automatic translation
@mrphelz There are some differences between the ban on selling alcohol, cigarettes, or pornographic magazines to minors and age verification:
As you well know, young people can find alcohol, cigarettes, or pornographic magazines in their own homes or in other people’s homes. So imagine if it were necessary for everyone to prove their age every time they drank a Campari, smoked a cigar, or browsed a pornographic magazine, not just when they had to buy them.
You realize that it is precisely this similarity that is fallacious.
Unfortunately, today’s politicians:
- are pretending that Big Tech’s responsibilities don’t exist
- are pretending that parental responsibilities don’t exist
- based on this pretense, they are trying to limit the personal freedom of all adults
- are criminalizing pornography and making it a less accessible and therefore more desirable commodity

Not to speak for @informapirata here, and maybe this could use a bit more nuance, but you really can’t argue these are the same things.
Internet is a necessity in today’s age, almost on the level of electricity. Many of us need it for work, to pay bills, to stay in touch with families.
And for many, being able to find friends and support online is, without exaggeration, a question of survival.

Internet and today’s social media are two separate topics. No one wants to forbid the Internet. On the other hand today’s social media do more harm than good and youngest is the mind, higher are the risks.
Instagram, TikTok, etc directly impact teens mental health. Not just. Their physical activity has plummeted, their fine-motion skills have alarmingly deteriorated to the point that we may not have surgeons in two decades.
@stefan @informatica @informapirata @mrphelz Internet is literally blind people’s eyes.
And the more and more policies which ask for a visual verification (captcha’s, selfies to verify identity, face recognition, video identification) is a very huge problem. They want to keep us more vulnerable folks off (blind and trans)
@elettrona Very good way to put it!
And just to add, many of us do see what is going on and will put up a fight. ✊

@stefan @informatica @informapirata @mrphelz I’m very angry with all this shit (let’s call things with their appropriate name)
