south korea now requires hosters of BBSs to purchase an NVIDIA gpu (on their own dime) on which to run a certain model to scan all uploaded images for forbidden content

So is this in the sense of “death to all iranians” i.e. genocide? Or is it in the “death to israel” sense i.e. “end the nation, not the humans” sense

This is a rather poor argument against the U.S. takeover of Greenland. If neither Denmark nor the U.S. is better, then it makes no difference if the U.S. takes over.

Edit: not sure why I’m being downvoted. I would appreciate someone explaining the headline to me because I honestly don’t get it.

Well, that same problem exists with many of the proposed verification models, like credit cards (how can you verify this is my credit card?) , photo ID, etc.

Here’s my proposal: your browser can send a request to a verification body (could be the government directly, let’s say) to respond to the challenge from the website you’re accessing, without sending information about which website is asking for the challenge. The verifier sends a cryptographically-signed approval back. The browser forwards this to the website. To prevent comparisons of timing as a deanonymization method, the browser can wait a random period of time before forwarding the request both ways.

I’m not convinced that ZKP requires an identification number or any such deanonymizing data. If there is a ZKP protocol that implements this that is just one possible implementation.

None of these are good arguments against introducing a ban. Worst argument of all is that “we shouldn’t ban it for 15 year olds because that wouldn’t protect 16 year olds.” Seriously? Is that intentional rage bait?

I think it’s more than clear by now that algorithmic feeds are hazardous, at least without significant effort in research and safeguards which nobody seems to be doing. So yeah, I’d say: definitely ban algorithmic feeds for teenagers. Hell, ban them for everyone if you must.

Gating should be done either by ZKP (zero-knowledge proofs, which don’t expose any information to any party other than “I’m at least x years old” – look this up if this is a new concept to you) or device-side by standardizing and streamlining child safety locks.
