[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 6 months ago (4 children) If the pushback on social media doesn't get Discord to drop these plans, then I'll just have to delete the app. Not caving to another app asking for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) only for this same data to be leaked months to years later. Society will do everything to protect children aside from making better parents. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] korazail@lemmy.myserv.one 32 points 6 months ago The parenting aspect is a red herring. Nothing about these policies is really to 'protect the children'. The big tech groups have figured out that they can gate-keep ... everything... and require your pii/data to get to it; and that many/most people will give up that data to keep access to their content. That said, teaching your children about the importance of privacy is becoming as important as teaching them about other harmful online content. "Don't trust a Nigerian prince, let me know if you're being bullied, don't watch porn* and don't scan your face to get on discord" * until you're 18-ish, at which point go nuts, just know it's all fake. permalink fedilink source parent [+] ameancow@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheKracken@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 child) Because parenting is hard and they don't need the working masses distracted by kids, they need them slaving away forever. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago The obvious solution is architecting society such that parents have more time to parent while making enough to pay the bills, rather than exporting parenting because they can't afford to miss work due to parenting. You start having enough of these conversations, and it all eventually points back to capitalism and taxing the rich. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago But... But... They pinky promise it's all secure, and that they won't hold any of your data! You can't trust a pinky promise? You monster! permalink fedilink source parent
