Why is nobody clowning on Norway?
>>222373680Good
>>222373709not really, since they'll have to ask everyone to verify identityt. other anon
>>222373680Good>>222373974I don't even have social media accounts
>>222373680because norway is white and successful unlike germany
>>222373680They sell a lot of oil and gas to the EU.
>>222373680there are only like 5 million of them and a large amount of the people who would normally clown on them are instead worried about what their own cunts are doing
Norway doesn’t matter. Only the Anglosphere and Japan count.
>>222373680I wish they did this earlier
>>222373680Royal family takes all the spotlight.
>>222373680How do they define social media and how would it even be enforced?
>>222375274But why
basically our goverment is based, I can't find anything to bitch about except the epstein files and our king family
make the whole fucking internet 18+. problem solved.
How will this be enforced?
>>222376946In Germany you can go to a post office to verify your identity, to activate prepaid sim cards for instance. Would work for social media accounts as well. It's a decent solution because that way Jewgle, Zuck, China, Elon etc. don't get to collect your personal data. They just get the okay from the post office that you're above the age 16.
>>222373680social media is all scammers and tranny groomers
>>222376946>making technology companies responsible for the task of age verificationSo you'll have to give the tech companies your ID most likely, or even worse hand it off to an American palantir-altman-esque third party known for zero privacy accountability
>>222373974False
>>222378051This is wrong because our data protection laws prevent that actually.
>>222378092>making technology companies responsible for the task of age verificationhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/norway-government-plans-social-media-ban-children-under-16-2026-04-24/Ok then what does this mean and how would it work in practice?
>>222378092Our data prtoection laws don't matterJust accept that the secret police force know that you jerk of to cute fox boys dressed in maid outfits.
>>222378127In practice they would need to interface with one of the national ID services that already exist, most likely BankID. This is government controlled.
>>222376162Look at the state of the internet lad.
>>222378156*BankID and/or MinID.
>>222378156>most likely BankID.Might not be that one. But the article could be outdatedhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/23/norway-to-increase-minimum-age-limit-on-social-media-to-15-to-protect-children>She said the government was investigating methods of enforcing such restrictions that did not intervene with human rights, such as the requirement for a bank account.
>>222378092Lmao this is bait
>>222378276See >>222378271i posted prematurely. I mean we already have a nationalised electronic verification system in place precisely to prevent that private actors make their own shitty solutions and store data Willy billy on foreign servers, in violation of our privacy laws. >>222378289See above. You are just uneducated.
>>222378276Also BankID does not require an bank account. Its simply a service that was originally created by the banks for electronic ID verification.
Wish they did that here in Sweden. We already use BankID for literally everything else so might as well. Might actually make the internet usable again.
>>222378337>Willy BillyWilly nilly *
>>222378337>>222378375I mean would be better than the alternative but it's still terrible for privacy as a concept
It should be illegal for sub18 year olds to have smartphones Give them flip phones
>>222378474You are already tracked by tracking cookies and all European ISPs are required to log all your traffic data for up to two years by the EU data retention directive so if you’re worried about privacy on social media you’re starting in the wrong end tbqh
>>222373680imagine if the EU was doing this
>>222378572>by tracking cookiesI dont accept cookies, thank youAlso adblockerAnd it's not at all the same as having to use an ID to have them track your social media accounts.>all your traffic data for up to two years by the EU data retention directive so if you’re worried about privacy on social mediaYou can at least use a vpn to bypass that. Any further restriction on privacy is always an unwelcome change. But you're right that's bad too
>>222378685The EU will try to shoehorn this in with some other bill too
>>222378729VPN is just kicking the can further down the street. You have no guarantee that the VPN provider isn’t storing traffic data (they most likely are if they operate in the US since US laws require that).
Gonna be great when you have to give you ID to a pornsite or 4chan
>>222378864There are trustworthy vpn services with good track records and less trustworthy vpn services. There are also other ways to obfuscate traffic
>>222378729Also as blockers don’t prevent session cookies, if they did you wouldn’t have been able to use any site that requires a log in. Facebook/meta & co simply track you with the «like on Facebook» button
they have enough with their royal
rightoids when the government removes minors from adult only spaces
>>222378955there are also ways for managing cookies, many browsers come with hardening option by themselves too, you can stop cross-cookie tracking in firefox, ublock can block tracking, cookie management extensions etc
>>222379195I agree, you can. Just saying that it should have been the default and cross-site cookies should never have been a thing but the internet and the web has been designed on basically a form of honour system. But in any case, government-ran electronic identity system is preferable to the soul sucking vampire companies that want to make their own solutions so they can milk even more data out of you (like social security numbers and whatever biometric data is stored in your passport/national ID cards), even though requiring IDs in the first place kinda suck.
>>222373680Another one joins the globohomo clubThe internet as a free place is dying before our eyes
>>222378729All it takes is the bka to ask for your search Internet connections and history and its all handed over
>>222373680because it's the right thing to do
>>222379459Just let us block all of africa
We had an entire thread clowning on the uk but the instant the scandis do it, its ok? Fuck you. You read our news because yours is pathetic and useless
>>222373680I HATE THE EUROPEAN REGIMEI HATE THE EUROPEAN REGIMEI HATE THE EUROPEAN REGIMEI HATE THE EUROPEAN REGIMEI HATE THE EUROPEAN REGIME
