No I never watched it. I had the unfortunate pleasure of playing a few games during sports week through my UK school years. It was every bit as fucking boring as you implied. There is a reason only Americans play that shit.

All I remember about American Football was how fucking slow the pace of the game was compared to literally every other mainstream sport. It was definitely designed for a fat ass country.

Your illusion of privacy shouldn't prevent an attempt to stop children being radicalised and accessing extreme content.. it is having a profound impact on society. First generation ever recorded to be more right winged from the get go? Fuck that... Do you not see the type of country this will be in 20 years time if we don't prevent kids accessing state level propaganda?

What the heck is your point exactly? We shouldn't have mass surveillance? But we already do... Have you seen how many cameras there are? Do you know DWP can access your internet history if they suspect benefit fraud? No warrant required.. And that's one of dozens of government departments that can just whip up your internet history..

This isn't some grand attempt at putting the final bit of the puzzle together.. there are legitimately multiple generations of children who can't read, accessing brain dead content that are turning into potatoes and becoming radicalised... Shall we just stop all attempts at preventing that because you're worried about your privacy?

I know what you said, you said you would go torched earth if labour don't drop the bill to protect kids from bad sites. You would vote for anyone else, which is essentially hanging the towel and letting reform win. First past the post and all that.

You're under the impression we don't already have massive surveillance? I know you know we do, the only difference is we don't have any of the perks of it, such as stopping kids from accessing highly damaging content online.

If you think using Linux, encryption, vpns and Lemmy makes you anonymous to any states or data brokers that want to identify you then you are naive at best.

I have not surrendered my anonymity, I recognised and accepted that in order to have it, a lot of bad things become possible, and the damage it causes... It's just not worth.

That's an entirely different subject though, my point remains. You are not anonymous to governments or data brokers. This bill won't decrease your level of privacy, it will only make it more difficult for children to access social media, which currently is plagued with all sorts of harmful content. This bill is a net positive.
