If and only if?

The dispute here is balancing people's human right to wank anonymously against the right of parents (and society's?) to limit access to (absurdly) age inappropriate material.

What does "ready for" even mean, when is anyone ready for 4k German BDSM.

There's also this slippery slope argument that preserving the former right is absolutely necessary to prevent creeping fascism. Which is absurd. Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the wankers to create some palatable solution to the conflict of interests, rather than demand the parents figure out how such wankers can preserve their anonymity?

Parenting is necessary for continuation and health of society. 4k German stuff is not.

Privacy is absolutely necessary for the continuation of western liberal society as we know it, and for society’s constant fight against authoritarianism

		> Privacy is absolutely necessary for the continuation of western liberal society as we know it IMO, so is the fight against active hostile foreign or local actors bot flaming on the internet to stoke tensions. These kinds of acts aren't only online (cf. Russia paying Moldovans and Serbs to commit anti-semitic and anti-muslim acts in France to stoke tensions between Jews, Muslims and everyone else), but they are drastically more effective online with the help of social media algorithms. To preserve healthy democracies, something has to be done. > and for society’s constant fight against authoritarianism And it pipes into this one. The people profiting the most from those tensions, which they stoke too, are wannabe authoritarians (cf. Trump). How to fight against them and their tactics without giving them the tools they will abuse once they're into power to shut down dissent?
