News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

So fine the companies if they haven't been taking reasonable precautions.
They know so much about all of us. And they want us to believe they don't know who is underage with a high degree of certainty?
Tech companies have pushed for age verification on the operating system level so they can't be fined because it's not a them issue.
It's bullshit and any tech company that doesn't do maximum effort should be fined out of existence and the top people in jail.
critics have warned early evidence from Australia shows the ban fails to keep children off social media platforms and risks pushing children into less regulated spaces on the internet.
NO FUCKING SHIT SHIRLOCK!
What these Boomer polititions fail to realise is that the under 16 year olds are far more tech literate than they are, and the younger generation has been conditioned to believe that irl socialisation is risky and online life/status is paramount. You can't just pull the rug from under these kids, you have to actually teach better behaviours that form allow kids to form better habbits and relationships with technology, and with other humans.
Anyone that has an anxiety attack from the thought of talking to someone face to face or over the phone needs an intervention if you ask me
#CANTHEBAN!
Stupid boomers
