This is not a group that makes public statements often. they only do it as last resort.

Which has nothing to do with my statement. Commenting before now means they would have commented the same amount, but sooner. Even if it’s still well after it’s obvious to the general public.

And I’m not speculating this has been common practice for the intelligence community for literally 100 years now.

Unless you are a part of the US intelligence apparatus, your remarks on why they’ve not commented before now literally cannot be anything but speculation.

thank fucking god you’d all fail lol

Incredible. Turning criticism of annoyingly condescending and round-about style of question-talking into a scenario where in fact, you are the teacher, failing everyone else.

You mean apart from to avoid seeming incompetent and lacking influence retroactively like with Hormuz? Hardly superficial when they could have made that stance apparent at any point before now to meet that very same objective. Also, not sure why you wouldn’t have opened with this speculation rather than lead with round about questions, that only seemingly make sense after you pose this hypothesis. Your assumptions have much more faith in the US administration than most may still have.

Also, this isn’t a classroom and you’re not a teacher. Just open with your speculation next time and drop the question-talking, “look people” nonsense.

Their point is (I assume), this observation is very obvious, very old and that anyone could have told you Israel would attempt to torpedo any peace deal long before now.

100% agree, unfortunately that’s entirely what they do either directly or by supporting lobbying groups who pretend to be “thinking of the children”.

One state in the US but, fair enough. Though a lot of the wording for this seems account based, instead of an OS baked “kid mode”, which again just seems like a variation of parental control which already exists. The point is this problem already has a solution not being utilised by the majority of the world’s internet user base. This won’t fix parents just buying a device to palm off to their kids, because if setting up parental controls is beyond them, setting up an account for them properly likely will be too.

Honestly, I don’t picture this happening. The main problem is parents parking their kids in front of screens or devices with internet access and then just bailing. Most devices have the means to do this and have so for a long time, it’s called “parental control”. It’s been a thing since the late 90s in my experience and probably earlier. The problem is it requires some time/effort to set up. I’m not advocating for the digital ID solution to this problem necessarily, just to be clear. However, even anti virus suites have this ability, routers have this ability, hell even browsers do if I recall but people and parents have been hands off about it.

Now they are complaining and expecting the entire internet to change or blaming online porn companies. The alternative is realising that letting kids have unfettered and unmonitored access to the internet, the place where you can easily view graphic footage of people dying, is actually a bad idea; bordering on neglect. Though this ignores places like Tik Tok, YouTube and a lot of social media marketing their platforms as “kid friendly” when they’re anything but, probably a different discussion however.
