That’s not true either… Bitcoin scams are busted all the time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_tracing

It’s not unlike tracking down a pirate radio signal, someone has to care and invest the resources into it.

Piracy is a good example, they pop up and they get taken down. Child sex abuse material is the same. We regulate content on the Internet.

You’re falling for some BS propaganda from huge tech companies that profit off user submitted content arguing that they can’t possibly manage their platforms properly.

Nobody said shitting out your garbage opinion on every huge web platform is an inalienable right (ironic?). We can hold YouTube and Meta accountable for their platforms’ content.

If I call a TV station and spew racism on air they’ll still get a fine.

Take a look at America and tell me how that’s working out.

I agree that the parents could pick up some slack but as a society we should make things easier for parents.

In itself while the article is about children but I think at this point it’s clear there’s a large if not larger segment of adults falling for this stuff. e.g. Conservative who despise taxes but they love Trump who with tariffs is taxing the hell out of people.

We’re really talking about children and people who have the mental capacity of children.

Basically all of this misogynistic comes from the Internet, and it’s all on the parents that they gave their kids free access to the Internet.

At this point you vant be THAT naive to think that the internet is a place of rainbows and unicorns.

Kids under 18 need to have obligatory limited access to the Internet with everything monitored. I’m sure I’ll be down voted to hell for this but this is also the single solution to the single problem. No, kids don’t need cellphones in school, or at all of you ask me. Make cell phones have age requirements that only gets excepted in special school classes where kids learn how to use the Internet responsibly.

Also hammer down hard on misogynistic content. Governments can hammer down on copyrighted content, they can hammer down on this too. No, this does not directly include sex kink sites (women go there too), yes, this includes any and all incel and "how to become a real man by being an asshole subs, sites, channels, content creators, etc.

Either way, you can’t just give kids full Internet access and them be completely Pikachu surprised face when these kids see fucked up content.

I’ve been telling this for over twenty years now, maybe someone will finally listen when it’s way too late?

Bitcoin scams are busted all the time, because they don’t understand how to use the correct process to stay anonymous.

If you wanna keep personally insulting me, go ahead but I’m not falling for “BS propaganda” I’m talking from experience. If you use the right tools the only way you will ever get caught with Bitcoin is when you make a withdrawal.

Tracing Bitcoin is possible I admit but tying it to a person is impossible until you go to pick up.

As for the original topic on regulation, I’ll stand my ground. You can try to regulate but they internet will always find a work around. Always has, always will.

If your just talking about YouTube and Meta than our ideas of the internet is very, very different. The internet isn’t tied to big corperations like you think, those are just the ISPs the majority uses.

But if a billionaire meddles with their social media platform’s algorithm is such a way, that it boosts whatever will help them get more tax breaks, we should just lay back and enjoy it. Free speech baby!

Pretty soon, kids growing up here won’t even be able to spell the word “education”.

high five bud

Kid, I’m a tech worker at the peak of my career I know what the Internet is. You’re intentionally missing the point. Enjoy your Trinity cosplay, you’re entrenched.

I think your peak was a long time ago bud.

LOL GOT’EM with the predictable juvenile insult, fuckin wrecked him. Your peak is nowhere in sight it’s all uphill for confidently incorrect young men trust me on that as an old timer

I haven’t worked a day since 06, and if Bitcoin was that traceable. I wouldn’t be talking to you right now. See you next Tuesday

Buddy thinks the RCMP is struggling to find him not that he’s just some small time nobody

Yeah, that’s the fucking trick. Stay small enough no one gives a shit.

This is a stupid take plz look at similar situations before you get a bandwagon going.

You can never completely regulate the internet…

True enough.

…and it’s absolutely pointless to try.

Um, no. Absolutely worthwhile to establish a reasonable non-destructive internet. Bad players will always find ways - they always have - but they can and should be relegated to the fringes where they have to work to have their voices heard, not be amplified by the biggest platforms in existence.

And what happens when the wrong people get in power and use that regulation to their advantage to prevent their opposition from being heard?

That’s how you end up with Fascism

Maybe we should focus on educating the population to be aware of the danger so they don’t fall for it instead of just throwing pointless policy at it

This is a stupid comment, I will not elaborate further why. Look at similar comments before you get a bandwagon going.

The FAA regulates aircraft amd aviation. The FCC regulates radio.

Guess whonis more vindictive?

That nice alt gj
