Social media has become a blight on society on all levels. Not just children.
But, there's a lack of education or push for children, and adults too, to be smarter online. They're just instituting laws and legislation and pushing the onus on corporations to comply.
Sounds good at face value but doesn't factor in smaller companies who are unable to afford the changes needed to comply (resulting in the pulling out of a region) or they institute dodgey 3rd party verification systems that will just on-sell your data.
Then, there's the world of dodgey VPNs that kids and people have rushed to. Also, as other people have said, children have found work arounds for age verification.
So, what's the point? What did we actually achieve? I sometimes defer to the old addage of never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Sometimes I feel it's more like naievity or good intenaions being controlled by malicious forces.
I don't know.
What I feel though is that it just doesn't feel like it's truly about the children. If it is, there should be a whole lot more factored into this.
Instead it feels like a half baked plan being sold to us as being for the children.
There's so many avenues of thought you could go down until your sucked down into the vortex of uncertainty that is the Spurs toiletbowl.
Maybe people knew what Edu was like and worked around him at Arsenal. Maybe the club setup restricted and hampered his ambitions. Maybe he, like most new employees, is amenable to prove why you're there.
Now he's right near the top of the tree, bar probably Marinakis, he doesn't have the same restrictions. Or maybe there are demands and pressure from Marinakis.
It would be too hard to say. It could be as simple as a lot of these managers are used to more freedom and there are too many cooks.
I was finally able to watch a full game! (courtesy of finishing my previous job yesterday).
Brighton really took the game to us and we struggled to get out of our own half. Gyökeres struggled to hold to keep the ball and Martinelli was pretty absent. Havertz and Trossard made a difference instantly. So many good individual moments, Rice obviously and Hincapie was fantastic!
Kudos to Brighton and their whiney fans and manager xD
I let the stream run a couple of minutes after the game and the away fans suddenly went manic as soon as the Man City game ended. It was beautiful to watch :)
Really needed them to drop points somewhere and definitely gives us some more breathing room with their extra game in hand. We just need to continue as we are, scrappy wins and all!
I've re-read your response a few times and it may be lack of sleep, but I'm struggling to mentally register what you were trying to saying.
My interpretation of what they were saying wasn't in defence of the cartel, but that a different course of action would be more impactful. Fight them by targeting their revenue stream.
It's always good to remove the head of a cartel, but you could argue the way it was carried out had no thought behind the immediate repercussions on civilians.
They should make it so that the customer says please and thank you instead. They're literally the one's asking for the service. I think its only polite, personally.
So, I kinda vanished... It's not justification, but I had a lot going on I was still processing, work has also been draining. Just really early mornings with long hours with a lot of dull nothing in-between.
I have since gotten a new job and move to South Australia next week. So, still a lot going on, but hopefully a more positive direction.
I hope you're all going well though. I mean you should be. The Spurs meltdown alone is elation enough! :)
This is my biggest issue with it.

It was difficult to break out. Still feel we've had the best chance/chances.
Not wrong, haha
I only caught the last 15minutes, but it was worth every second :)

This is something I hadn't even considered...
Gets me every time :)
I completely forgot about that! I had a bad feeling the moment he took over and were versing us not much longer.
I guess the benefit was that they took 3 off City as well.

It feels like we've been on the otherwise of a manager bounce a few times this season. But, glad to see Wolves string some results together!
I also just saw they verse pool again in 3 days in the FA cup

It was pointed out that Spurs took 5 points from City this season. So, if Arsenal go on to win it, Spurs actively contributed.
If they were relegated as well... It's too perfect to think about.
Men can be shitty idiots, but I would just say humans as a whole can be shitty idiots. I've known a few from both sides.
