Why tf would anyone care about the police chiefs’ opinions? Did they pick up a graduate degree in psychology before becoming state thugs agents?

It’s technically impossible, so a pretty pointless discussion.

And it’s dangerous too. Even if they legislated them off the major platforms, there’s a million other ways to communicate online. Hundreds of DMs, talkers, games, live chats, streams, even IRC still exists. And pushing them into the darker corners makes it far more likely for them to be exposed to coercive and controlling types. Extremism, child abuse, bullying, suicide encouragement and so on.

Lmao maybe they should wait and see how Australian ban later this year turns out to be because it’s looking like an absolute clown show rn.

Kids are growing up, testing limits and learning, That is what kids do!

I think that a ban won’t fix this, but instead ban anonymous use. If you have to use your real name, most behave much nicer. You become accountable, and that is a good thing for everyone to learn.

Also perhaps a minimum age of say 13 could be a good idea - you need to reach a certain age before you are able to foresee consequences and understand how your actions effect others.

I call for a ban on police chiefs
