> Kids not being informed about the war crimes

Interesting to frame this as a bad thing. As a parent, I would take that as a feature, not a bug. To me this is very suspicious why there seem to be so many people here, who I am assuming are mostly adults, advocating so strongly strongly for <16 olds told be on social media, as if it was something they need.

You sound like a Russian government official.

* you add an HTTP header saying "I am a kid" * porn web servers read and handle this headers * if they don't (easy to test), they get fined

It is easy to implement, easy to monitor, and will probably just work if the government do the effort to monitor and enforce it. If not, it will just be an other DNT header

What stops a kid from saying "I am an adult" via this header without some draconian client-side enforcement?

Wouldn't the more reasonable argument be "The economy is failing. Keep the kids gooning to distract them"

Maybe it's similar to the handling of home office. A person at home isn't spending 30 bucks for lunch in the city. The kids have to stop gooning and go back to lurking around in shopping malls

It's actually better to do this on the device.

If you can give children something that is basically whilelisted access then it reduces the need to try to filter the open web.

I don't understand how this is supposed to be water tight without client-side scanning etc.

State parliaments pass controversial Youth Media Protection Act amendment. Parents can now "secure" devices for children with one click.

This is only the case when the language does not distinguish between methods that can be overridden versus those that cannot. C++ gives you the keyword "virtual" to put in front of each member function that you want to opt into this behavior, and in my experience people tend to give it some thought on which should be virtual. So I rarely have this issue in C++. But in languages like Python where everything is overridable, the issue you mention is very real.

While in Python everything is overridable, does this show up in practice outside of (testing) frameworks? I feel like this is way more common in Java. My experience in Python is limited to small micro service like backends and data science apps.

This shady approach of trying it again and again is so disgusting to me. Just be upfront about. If you will do it anyway at some point, just fucking do it. It's not like other countries like China that are much further than we are in this regard are in constant turmoil over it. I guess we won't be either.

Instead we take a moral high ground over Russia banning and blocking what are basically non-compliant messaging platforms and pushing Russian citizens to Max, which is controlled by the government. All the while these legislations in Europe will lead to the same end result.

How am I supposed to to argue against chat control in Russia when we are doing it too, just with a different twist.

It would be sensible for you to examine and interrogate why reading a general and fairly anodyne opinion about what might be a solution to a problem some people have led you to interpret it as a prescriptive and judgemental suggestion about the specific problem you specifically have.

In my mind it is a slippery slope that leads to a sickly Steve Jobs eating kilograms of raw carrots.

Obviously a healthy lifestyle is good. And this includes not eating over your requirements. But sometimes there is actually something wrong. And in these cases, first trying out to just eat healthy can worsen the situation by delaying proper treatment. And proper treatment does equal a bunch of pharmaceutical drugs.
