Hey, can't I just get a job the same way that Doug Ford did? BTW, what undergrad degree did he get?

I love how photo-based age verification scanning is the worst of both worlds - it destroys your anonymity, but not in a way that makes it easier to run a community where you can ban a person by their digital ID since they can just make a new one with the same face since facial recognition is too crude for that.

Ah, my bad. I looked it up and while Android does have an analog to what iOS calls "lockdown", Android uses different terminology for it, since "Lockdown" is, as you said, lock the lockscreen to be password/pin-only (which would still be a reasonable approach before being forced to turn over your phone to somebody since those are things that are harder to be compelled to provide).

Android's version of iOS "Lockdown" is called "Advanced Protection Mode".

I'd forgotten because the first thing I did when that rolled out was revert it so long-press on the power button was the power menu. IIRC the new default is like long-press-power-and-volume-down or some garbage like that to show the power menu.

Android phones have lockdown mode too. Hold the power button to show the shutdown menu and click lockdown.

Eventually somebody is going to use textbots to DDOS wikipedia with subtle propaganda (if they're not already doing that) and it will be impossible to protect without completely locking it down so that only established users can edit.

Laws are only real if they're enforced.

The very idea of a user-generated content free-to-play MMO for children with whack-a-mole moderation is totally bananas. Even good whack-a-mole moderation would be a bananas design.

I'm okay with little kids online gaming, but it needs to be in content that has been approved by a responsible adult in a setting where either adults are actively supervising or the children are on a server where we know everybody who's in there.

Isn't the antichrist supposed to be a charismatic leader?
