All the talk of identity verification got me thinking about what I’ll actually worry about my kids accessing. Perhaps I’m odd, but sex is normal and porn is just exaggerated sex so I feel like I can make it clear it’s as realistic as Lord of the Rings.
What worries me is the brainrot from getting stuck in a media bubble. We are so incredibly vulnerable to being swayed by both propaganda and fringe thinking these days and it’s only easier to create echo chambers with all the AI content flooding the web now.
What do you think is the most dangerous part of the net for those ignorant of the threats?
I might be off on the details, but about a year ago, the founder lost control of the site and it went down. He called all the users terrible people. Someone else picked it up and continued within like a week. Interesting take on the founder/long term operator.
Forgot to mention there’s the epstein connection to /pol/. Insane.
So yeah, it’s not just echo chambers. There’s plenty of accessible terrible places still around.
