It should just be universally required to give an option to disable addictive features. Should prevent age verification, and giving users optionality is always a good thing (for them).

How will you measure purely psychological addiction using a neutral process that can’t be easily captured by political interests?

That said, I like the idea of an option. Options are good!

Clearly there is a fuzzy line of demarcation. I was thinking for a simple opt-out of any rec-sys

While I’m uncomfortable with any legislation regarding the presentation of speech, in fact it’s definitely unconstitutional, this isn’t bad if you ignore the 1A issues. Hard to ignore that though

Why do some Americans build their whole political and philosophical personality off of 1A maximalism? I'm an American, and it's a great principle. Freedom of speech deserves to be enshrined in the Constitution as a Good Thing, up there with the pursuit of happiness, freedom of the press, and all else. But this idea that nothing that ever even tangentially inconvenience's someone's (or some megacorporation's) expression is a legislative no-go, is a weirdly religious amount of conviction in an abstract principle. This principle, like every other in the Constitution, must carry finite weight.

		The amendment process is there for a reason. We must begin to use (and respect) it again, or fall as a country. That’s my take.

> Should prevent age verification

It won't, become some parties are proposing a narrative of "shielding the innocent from harmful content" (such as themselves).

keir starmer seems to suppose nudity would be indecent, against an implicitly stated decent itself and british politics.

		Yeah I meant it would avoid the necessity of age verification to solve this problem. Age verification and how enthusiastic gov'ts are about it is concerning.
