And thats the motto of the world: authoritarianism.

I can certainly understand, it has an abstract, minimalist appeal - however, its safety or its basic features aren’t as appealing.

What if you owned: weed/drugs, illegal firearms, items which could be used for potential murder, negative opinions about the fascist government?

This argument is shallow to the point where fascism is what you’re advocating here for. So what, if you did own something thats not law abiding - without any credible proof there is nothing there, and non of anybody’s interest.

Because its all snake oil thats based on nothing. It will always be 13-18 as this is the area they can get away with - teenagers will be the sacrificial lamb where all the focus will be brought towards children.

But why are teenagers included? Because they have greater ambitions than just children. And every one of these states has their own fascist strategy for totalitarianism.

A ban for children (& teenagers) is a ban to privacy for everyone.

I feel you. To help, there is tools on Lemmy which aid you with trauma or content you find troublesome. Filters are a great way to adjust your feed to rule out stuff just like this; there are also specific blocks you can do such as community blocks ❤️.

Its really such a poor choice of words. Why try to invent new words for the exact same thing? The only thing that comes to mind in this case is strategic manipulation.

It even features a flared base…

Its the same situation where people purposely downgrade their phones to flip phones.

Sometimes simplicity is more convenient and secure. Especially when you don’t need all the gimmicks a modern device has - it is a difference of paying $100 or $1000+

Its the fact that “generations” are used here. It brings in a harmful concept, thats all.

Yes and no, you’d really need to take precautions here (like taking care of exif data). I’d generally not advise this, however, you do you.

Honestly, it does look like a case of bigotry. Its unneeded and literally does no one favours. It is valid to state the concerns.

Putting generations at scope is honestly stupid and doesnt focus on the real issue. The generational concept should stay as a gimmick - otherwise it is used haphazardly.

Um, I dont think thats a good idea…

They said they take away the liberties of young people - they took away the liberties of all people.

At this point they’re the ones creating false premises and the people dont have any real way of challenging that.

In modern days its mostly to scam people, and thats really it. Exclusives - thats one of the gimmicks, which is essentially strategic manipulation.

Yeah, remove the only alternative to the supreme capitalist monopoly which the PlayStation store essentially is.

Maybe youre right, maybe you’re not. Its probably more so about the shared interests rather than the inherent age.

The thing is, those that are of similar age may have a higher probability of similar interests than those with higher deviation from your age.

Garbage in - garbage out

Lol.

There are many definitions of ‘adult’; in this case, you’re talking about biological adulthood - the period where the person turns sexually mature.
