A federal judge ruled today that Florida cannot enforce a law that requires social media platforms to block kids from using their platforms. The state law “is likely unconstitutional,” US Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida ruled while granting the tech industry’s request for a preliminary injunction…
Good. Fuck the baby bonus parents who need the government to do their job.
Perhaps it would have been smarter to prevent these predatory behaviors from social networks in the first place. Because it is probably constitutionally more sound to ban some behaviors rather than outright ban social networks altogether.
How weird is it that the left doesn’t make these connections and press it when we see people like Zuckerberg standing with Republicans while Republicans push for the laws.

People on the right seize on these opportunities every time. Within days whatever view they have is shared across multiple countries on multiple sites and influencers. But the left is like a few comments isolated on Lemmy among pictures of Ed Sheeran. We’re having fun though. That’s what matters.
More people need to coorinate and work together on the left. That’s the missing link
The right has group chats, and online communities for all kinds of stuff that I’m surprised the left hasn’t built much of yet
Exactly, and it’s not like there needs to be a weekly stand up for progressive leftist.
We just need to be aware we’re sleeping at the wheel and that needs to stop. We’re passively watching it all not realizing we’re supposed to be participating
I wish everyone could read your comment right now. Spot on
I mean, the left has communities, but as soon a s they begin organising .worlders call them tankies.
Right. This shouldn’t be about restricting children; but rather, this should be about restricting corporation’s bad behaviors. It’s also not just children that are impacted. Mining online dopamine-junkies for data by placing money extractors right on their weak spots is unethical, like selling someone crack, or phone scamming the elderly.
Tread on me harder daddy
