The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.

People care more about tolerance than they do Facebook and Google creating a human attention farms. But as long as these megacorps have a rainbow logo once a year then they're the good guy, right?

What are you trying to say? More regulations for Facebook and Google?

??

[devmunchies]

absolutely. require age restrictions. anything. its causing mass brain damage and that's not a hyperbole. they should be treated like casinos, not handed to youth on iPads. Trump's real incompetence was not tackling big tech. If you control the minds of the people, you control the democracy.

I just don't see how that is tenable due to the way our society is structured. Also I thought there were already age restrictions in place for a lot of these services? Not that it is enforced.

Unless folks are willing to have some kind of real ID verification to access these services.
