Underage drinking is still more common than it should be,

Sure, but it’s significantly lower than legal drinking.

We as a society acknowledge the harm of underage drinking so prohibition is effective. Prohibition of adult drinking was puritan bullshit the majority didn’t agree with so it didn’t work.

I think you’d find a majority of parents agree social media is shit, but they’re unwilling to isolate their child. In this case prohibition would be effective.

Prohibition didn’t work for drugs either

I didn’t realize it was common for 14 year olds to drink alcohol and take heroin where you’re from…

“I only let my child smoke crack 3 hours a day”

If you set parental controls on your own teen’s device, all you’re doing is isolating them from their peers and making them the kid with the weird parent who doesn’t let them post on tik tok.

Social media isn’t what it was when we were growing up. It’s designed to prey on them the same way slot machines create gambling addictions.

I’m no puritan but I do truly believe banning kids from social media and restricting teens at a legislative level would be a net benefit for society. Same as alcohol or drugs.

How do you feel about NIPT tests and ultrasounds?

-edit-

I’ll give a real answer in spite of your strawman.

Of course not. I believe every single person’s value is innate to their being, not derived from their ability, shape or productivity. Everyone deserves respect (until their actions say otherwise) and equality.

There is nothing about me that makes me better than someone who is neuro divergent or differently abled. However I’m also well aware of the severe physical and emotional challenges that things like severe autism or downs syndrome can cause for both the individual and their families, even when ignoring the additional challenges caused by discrimination from society at large.

Perhaps a really shitty question you should ask yourself is if you could go back in time and choose to be born with downs syndrome, would you?

If not then why? If not, isn’t it slightly hypocritical that you believe others, without their consent, should be?

Some people are way too attached to their disabilities.

Why say sexual abuse material images, which is grammatically incorrect, instead of sexual abuse images, which is what you mean, and shorter?

Sorry. To address your two points, where did people get the idea that the word porn implies artistic merit or consent? It simply means material intended to sexually excite people. Is that meaning not important to retain as it’s the difference between what we consider CSAM and a picture of your kid in the tub?

CP can stand for a lot of things but it’s common parlance now. CSAM just causes confusion.

Also really? Now you’re stooping to the old “why so mad bro?”. You’re the one having a meltdown, I’m wasting time at work by sharing an opinion.

“I’m mad you’re right so let me compare you to a hateful right wing grifter and also by the way, you’re wrong because all my friends say so.”

It may shock you but a handful of Lemmy users doesn’t constitute the linguistic consensus you’re trying to inherit here.

You’re right. It can be images, that’s exactly why saying “this man was found in possession of child abuse material images” does not make grammatical sense. It’s why CP still defines it better as we’re not arresting people for owning copies of Lolita, which you could argue is also CSAM.

the majority of people disagree with you.

The majority of people can be wrong.

Material.

A “material image” doesn’t make any sense. An image is material. It should be CSAI if you wanna be specific.

I don’t know why this is the second time I’ve had a discussion about CSAM being a stupid acronym on Lemmy, but it’s also the only place I’ve ever seen people use it.

Thank you. These should get fixed.

But again, I can host behind a VPN and have zero risk here. I can work around my own shit, a Plex user can’t protect their data when Plex owns it.

But it’s not difficult to integrate it yourself.

It’s inherently different. Plex liked having your data and didn’t protect it.

For example?

I’m guessing you don’t seed then.
