This isn’t a UK thing, it’s the entire developed world.

Multiple US states are considering it. Chat control in the EU is still a possibility. China and Russia already put efforts in restricting access.

Those in power are always trying to find a way to screw us over.

I consume media. I doom scroll. If they are trying to use subliminal messaging or some other bs it isn’t working. I still think everything about the current establishments is bs

How about not looking for an argument at all? This toxic us Vs them rhetoric is getting old and makes Lemmy a hateful place.

Didn’t think it was. Looks like Japan creating similar laws as EU.

That’s an odd way to twist it. I must have had “parent” tagged to my avatar so to avoid the nasties.

I played Roblox with my kids for years and didn’t find any shady shit. Not saying there is no shady stuff on there, but after 100s of hours either it’s suddenly gotten worse, we somehow dodged all the shady shit or the media have exaggerated the issue. Take your pick.

I played with my kids because they desperately wanted to join in on the fun but the reports of it being pedo land made me create a rule of “you only play when we play together”. We had great fun, have many fond memories of our time on there.

Those are some nice looking arms
