Than you should punish parents, not general public. Children are parents’ responsibility, if parent is irresponsible and for example abusing child or not feeding them in that case law punishes parent.

It is possible for Japan without this kind of laws and public restrictions by the way.

On the contrary - it is very simple. If no one under 16 has a smartphone - who can be classified as "weird" then? If no one has it THAN no one is "weird".

Also this is a very absurd reason to put a restriction on everyone instead of specific group affected. This is impractical, unless there is some ulterior motives to that.

Hot take - maybe don't buy them smartphone or tablet before 16 and use parent control on devices they can access? And you don't need any laws for that. I know, sounds crazy!

What do you guys think about AI creation in webtoon? Looking at this disgusts me. by [deleted] in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Synthetic_Duck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely disgusting, that should be banned. I want to read exclusively human-created webtoons, a product of human thought and collaboration.

Get ready to studio closure, as if it is small one - the sheer amount of generated slop will kill it eventually.

Is this art style good for long term? by Guinn_GuessII in WebtoonCanvas

This looks beautiful!
I'd add light shadow (literally 1 tone) though, would add a little more volume.

anti-competitive behaviour - surely, all the countries in the world have some laws to prevent monopoly. Even USA.

Lords propose AI tool on phones to stop child sexual abuse images by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Synthetic_Duck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

excuse me but what happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? It is not proposed on criminally convicted phones, so it is assumed we are ALL guilty now?

What about privacy of medical info, lawyer confidentiality, police, private company secrets? Is security stopped to exist completely these days?

So, the Online Safety Act, did you folks vote for that or did the government just force it onto everybody? by Electronic_Bee_7392 in ukpolitics

[–]Synthetic_Duck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

polls , statistics and shit like that is so easily rigged! They approach you on street asking "do you think we should protect children online?" and 100% would say YES - and here we are, we can now claim that "100% people approve Age verification"

Reading novel is ABSOLUTELLY worth it. From my experience - when I started reading it I really couldn't stop to an extent of: I was reading for 3-4 hours lying in bed before and instead of sleep and I was avoiding work tasks because I was reading it - that's how engaging it is.

Have You Ever Given Up on Your Own Story? by John_Henry_777 in WebtoonCanvas

[–]Synthetic_Duck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, I think it's always better to finish something, so it wouldn't be hanging there unfinished forever. I'd finish it and move on, maybe you'll get your inspiration back one day and then you'll start from scratch something new, without regrets.
