This bill requires specified online platforms to establish safeguards for minors. The safeguards include (1) limiting access to specified sexual material, (2) providing parental controls on social media and online video game platforms, and (3) requiring artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to disclose certain information to users who are minors.
First, publicly available online platforms on which more than one-third of the content is considered sexual material harmful to minors under the bill must adopt technology to identify minors and prevent them from accessing such material.
Next, social media platforms must (1) implement default settings for minors that limit compulsive usage features and the ability of other users to communicate with minors, and (2) provide tools for parents to manage the privacy and account settings of a minor. Social media platforms may not allow ephemeral messaging features for minors.
The bill also requires online video game platforms to provide tools that allow parents to (1) limit communication between a minor and other users of the platform, and (2) restrict purchases by a minor on the platform.
Further, providers of AI chatbots must disclose to users who are minors (1) that the chatbot is an AI system and not a human, and (2) suicide and crisis intervention hotline information.
Finally, the bill requires specified studies and reports about the effects of social media platforms on minors and provides for enforcement of the bill’s requirements by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general.
I let nazis spread their message because I’m choosing this one corporation to stand against even though its the most dangerous time to take our eyes and ears off them. It’s all vibes really.
Re-read what was said because that is not it.
It is it in the same way deciding not to vote Democrat in a two party system is helping MAGA.
It’s so superficial to say you don’t care to participate just because you met some confrontation that you weren’t comfortable with. It’s fine to quit. But don’t lie to yourself that it’s Benign. When you’re part of a mass exodus of people with similar views during these periods where small groups of people are using bots to sway public opinion, that is worse then deciding not to vote.
I don’t care if they’re nazi platform 3.0. The fact is that is where the public is. That is where our family and friends and Co workers and law makers and judges all are and they’re getting their information from. Saying you’re too good for it might give you a moment of relief that won’t last. The views and opinions and shit posts that the right can now lie and spread increases and that seeps into everyday life.
People for the longest time downplay digital spaces as if they’re not critical. Meanwhile they’ll also argue that billions are being spent to manipulate these spaces. I argue that part of those billions that were invested went to convincing all of us to abandon these spaces and we did willingly.
I’m starting to see a shift of people coming back. But people need to wake the fuck up and go back to what it was 15 years ago when we actually shut these racist fucks down and didn’t let them spread their bullshit. I don’t know why leftist today are such cowards, but if they continue with this stuff they’re done in the next 15 years. Most won’t even admit they did it to themselves
