This bill requires specified online platforms to establish safeguards for minors. The safeguards include (1) limiting access to specified sexual material, (2) providing parental controls on social media and online video game platforms, and (3) requiring artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to disclose certain information to users who are minors.
First, publicly available online platforms on which more than one-third of the content is considered sexual material harmful to minors under the bill must adopt technology to identify minors and prevent them from accessing such material.
Next, social media platforms must (1) implement default settings for minors that limit compulsive usage features and the ability of other users to communicate with minors, and (2) provide tools for parents to manage the privacy and account settings of a minor. Social media platforms may not allow ephemeral messaging features for minors.
The bill also requires online video game platforms to provide tools that allow parents to (1) limit communication between a minor and other users of the platform, and (2) restrict purchases by a minor on the platform.
Further, providers of AI chatbots must disclose to users who are minors (1) that the chatbot is an AI system and not a human, and (2) suicide and crisis intervention hotline information.
Finally, the bill requires specified studies and reports about the effects of social media platforms on minors and provides for enforcement of the bill’s requirements by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general.
Read what was said.
It doesn’t matter what they do, because I am banned from those platforms. I cannot engage in them due to them favouring Nazis over leftists. We get bombarded with fake reports and silenced, they get reported and allowed to continue.
It is not us that left those places for the hell of it, it’s those places that pushed us out.
I’ve been banned as well. I reset my IP and get back to their groups.
I don’t think we got pushed out so much as they made it hostile. They weaponized reporting. That’s fine. We can to except we can’t any longer since we didn’t organize well.
The glue being this is the network. I watched them connect their network pre 2016. I didn’t get at the time why it was happening. But you could see small random annoying fucks adding everybody. It turned into a wild organized information dissemination network. That’s how they weaponized reporting and made it appear that all these platforms were against the left.
But ask yourself why the effort. It’s a few accounts driving it all. It’s heritage TPUSA foundation interns spending 40 hrs a week using 4chan tactics. It’s going to get worse very quickly very soon with the election coming. We should be disrupting them, not rolling out a red carpet
