As in, for children. This is not about social media or videogames for adults.Videogames are made to be addictive, so are they good for children? Or should videogames be completely banned for anyone younger than 16?https://strawpoll.com/7rnzVX4GEnO
>>537269208Hey world, are you really going to let these bolsheviks micromanage your life, steal everything you have, and enslave you in concentration camps?NEIN. SAGTE DEUSCHLAND. NEIN. DAS WERDEN WIR NICHT TUN.

Just play Gothic 1 remake

>>537269208Video games are probably the only source of friction, opposition, critical thinking, competition, hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, learning to handle winning, learning to handle losing, resource management, time management, technical/troubleshooting skills and/or challenge in general that modern kids will ever face in our karen-ran, bubble-wrapped, ipad society. So yes, kids should be encouraged to play video games. Probably not live services though.
>>537270318Who are you trying to fool? Videogames are just like TikTok, full of flashy things and made to be addictive.
fucking kill yourself sybb
>>537270318They can learn all that playing outside with friends
>>537271991Videogames are useless from a learning perspective.
>now that social media is banned for children...ban racism, ban anti-government sentiment, ban whatever is decided to be hate speech, ban conspiracies. just to children of course... for now.
>>537273642Social media is like a drug, though. It should be banned for children.
>>537273744in a perfect world sureof course by banning it to children you ensure all adults must log in with their id to prove they're not children. creating a chilling effect, as who wants to read conspiracies and make posts about them under their real names, some sure but not most. are you going to sign your name to an antisemitic post? do you think they really give a shit about the children?
>>537273853The how would you protect children from it? I kind of agree with what you say, but what is your solution?
>>537273967parental control appsmandate easy to use parental controls. so easy to use a public education campaign of tv and social media commercials can teach parents how. these apps will come as a setting in the phones os. so when you buy a phone for your kids you can turn on the parental controls and only a parents fingerprint or password can break them. said parental controls will prevent any social media app or web browser from downloading and the onboard browser will strictly block all social media. when some kids find ways around it the app gets updated to block those. that will protect most of the children, most of the time. children of lazy parents may slip through the cracks and thats unfortunate, but not more unfortunate than the world of total information control they will grow up into in the name of protecting children.
>>537273853and of course over time, with robots replacing jobs, and most people needing ubi to survive, wouldn't it make sense to ingrate some social credit? you'll vote for it because they will promise goodies to good goys, and at first it will be very easy to be a good goy, and they will only punish people you dislike. over time it will be expanded until you can't risk even visiting a website like 4chan lest you lose the ubi goodboy dollars you need to live.
>>537274328And how can you make sure a child doesn't just download an app and skip the parental controls?
>>537269208They'll definitely come for video games too because they have in-game chats and the goal is to have every message you type online tied to your real identity.
>>537274495i already said>said parental controls will prevent any social media app or web browser from downloading and the onboard browser will strictly block all social media.if thats not enough you can prevent any app downloads not on an official curated list>b-b~but what about the small fringe of exceptions who...i don't care, i already said >children of lazy parents may slip through the cracks and thats unfortunate, but not more unfortunate than the world of total information control they will grow up into in the name of protecting children
>>537274618The game related chat apps are already surveiled by AI. That's why I never use them.>>537274739OK, so the parental controls should be on a hardware level? Or how is it going to work practically?
>>537274328furthermore said option for parental controls will be an option a parent can select when turning on the phone. you can put a government mandated warning on the box of the phone telling parents how to set up the easy to use parental controls. you could even create a law fining any parents who allow their children to use a phone without parental controls to scare more parents into using it
Probably depends on which videogames you're talking about. Tetris and some real-time strategy games are probably good for developing certain skills, so they might be beneficial overall. Other videogames are probably pernicious for children. I don't see any good coming from letting kids play Roblox.
>>537274874How can you tell the child won't just open the phone and disable the parental controls, pretending to be his own dad?
>>537274866>we can't have a parental control app, its impossible, we need all adults to log in to everything they read and say online with an internet id to prove they're not children.or, it is possible, but they don't care about protecting children, they care about total information control, so here we are.of course its possible. just look at the iphone>>No, you cannot entirely replace iOS with a different operating system like Linux or Android on modern iPhones. Apple’s hardware security chain, which includes the BootROM, Secure Enclave Processor (SEP), and Tatsu Signing Server (TSS), strictly verifies that only Apple-signed iOS firmware can boot. This prevents the installation of unsigned or third-party operating systems on devices newer than the iPhone 3GS.you cant remove ios from an iphone. now just bake the parental controls into the operating system. problem solved.
>>537275069And how does the phone know who's using it to change the settings?
>>537275002because the kid doesn't know the password or have his fathers fingerprints.trump put up a wall to stop migrants caravans from bumrushing the border and flooding the states with mexicans. can some mexicans hang glide over the wall or use jetpacks and grappling hooks sure, but 99.9% of mexicans were stopped.
>>537275139stop being a fucking retard. i already told you. when a parent buys the phone he activates the parental controls before giving it to his kid, using password or fingerprint.
>>537275162OK, so you're locking it behind fingerprints. What if the child opens the phone and use his own fingerprint?
>>537273967Punish parents for shithead kids, you know the usual stuff. If you get outsmarted by a 12 year old, really you should probably lose your kids then and there.
>>537275247see >>537275214kids don't have money, not enough for a phone anyways. their parents buy them the phones.
>>537269208This a vidya gooner board. AI slop is encouraged over good story or creative, diverse games, as long as it makes our peepees hard.Something, something gamergate, something something femoids.
>>537273332I learned that copper and tin smelt into bronze from playing Runescape when I was 7.
>>537275352Kids can absolutely buy their own phones from their allowances.
>>537275657yeah, rich kids. ok but the vast majority of kids can't. fine, show an id before buying a phone. like when buying alcohol. cant you come up with this shit on your own?
>>537275657meanwhile the forcing everyone to sign in with their id plan to prove they're adults before doing anything online. kids will find ways around that too, its less airtight even then my plan and at least my plan doesnt create a 1984 techno dystopia
>>537275569Everyone who played RuneScape as a kid is pretty much impervious to falling for scams as an adult. Remember all those retards who fell for the “send Elon Musk your crypto and he’ll send you double back” scam? All of that could’ve been avoided if they learned their lesson from RuneScape
>>537271991True! But good luck getting the other parents to let their kids roam around outside and achieve this goal.
>>537273967>>537274495>>537275247If the parent doesn’t want to stop their kids from playing video games then you’re not going to. You’re never going to micromanage society hard enough to stop kids from getting access to video games. They can always just dig out their dad’s old PlayStation from the attic if the online shit gets restricted. And the dad will do nothing to stop it because he isn’t a bitch who’s afraid of pixels like you.
>>537269208Everything that isn't directly tied to education or fitness/health should be BANNED for anyone under 25.
>>537269208fuck off, niggervideo games fucking suckno one fucking caresfind a new demoralization tactic, faggot
>>537276719Nice VPN
Tipper - the 90's called and umm, don't want you back...
>>537276641To be harsh, imagine the people growing up in such a society. Everyone would be grand and elite.
