The internet is not the problem, the algo is.

With the internet I have free MIT lessons, documentaries, debates on Youtube!

I have access to scientific journals.

I can access every book ever written in the world.

The internet is not the issue here. The homepages/fyp on youtube, tiktok, instagram is. Books and the correct asthetic needs to be prioritized.

That internet will still exist, you just won’t be anonymous while accessing those resources.

My issue is that one.

AND that politicians and the sites WANT age verification because the sites wont have to fix their algo.

The block lists are crazy, even Youtube is blocked. Instead of fixing fyp and promoting non-brainrot content, they rather slap an age gate on it.
