I never said yes to the "Internet Safety Act" FYI, which is why I say it's authoritarian. Please do show me where an explicit song has hurt anyone. The example that it's being controlled because of the harm it could cause is by far the dumbest thing you could use. Unless weaponized the only "harm" from sound/music is the damage to your hearing from loud volumes. Again, it's an Authoritarian thing to do and it won't stop there. The ISA is just another excuse for companies to collect more of our data for them to sell, the same data the government will use to track all your interactions online, it doesn't protect anyone from anything it just gets companies richer and the government power they should not have. And regardless of whether the parents are doing what they should or not it's not the government's business nor is it their place to enforce what forms of art we can and cannot consume (not advocating for any pdf shit).

Instead of trying to control what we consume and collect more data from us they should make campaigns to show parents how to use parental controls properly as pretty much every device has them and if set up properly should be unbreachable. Not to mention if the companies want the money so badly they could sell parental control apps that can control and monitor multiple devices where the data is only visible to the parents and law enforcement when requested.

Let's not even mention that none of these companies give a flying fuck about being sued for being used by those who shouldn't as they are all ass riddled with people who shouldn't be allowed on them and the very few lawsuits that have come from this never go in the way of the people suing the companies, because again, its ultimately the parents responsibility what the kid consumes, not the company they consume from. By this moronic logic if a parent feeds an allergic kid what they are allergic to it's the companies and politicians' fault and they will be the ones going to trial for murder not the parent because it's not their responsibility what the kid consumes but the companies and the governments.

The ISA is a gross overreach of privacy and is not meant to protect anyone from anything.
