  • My Proposal:

    1. The government creates a website that generates random rotating OTP verification codes that is viewable to anyone logged in to the website with their governemnt ID account. This would expire within X time, and a new one shows up.

    2. So you type in this code in the adult site

    3. Then site send that [code + timestamp of when they received] it to the government website

    4. The government side checks the code against the time stamp, then sends back a ✅️ if meets the minimum age limit, other wise sends back a ❌️

    5. The site get back the ✅️ or ❌️ and lets person access the site or denies them access accordingly.

    Everyone has the same code, but the code rotates and expires quickly. So kids would need an adult to get them access to adult content. Not impossible, but much harder. Its sort of like smoking or alcohol. Kids are always gonna try to find a way around it if they are determined.

    Hi my name is Michael Stevens.

    You may know me as the creator and host of the VSauce 1 on YouTube on December 8, 2011 I created the how to basic YouTube channel. I created it as what I believe to be Step 1 in an important human revolution.

    As I looked around at what technology was doing to you, I realized that we were offloading information and skills to machines. You no longer have to know how to, fix a dented car, how to make an apple pie, you could just… “Google It”. The human mind was being replaced by machines, and once that replacement is finished… Humanity’s gone.

    I thought warning people would be enough, but then I realized… it was too late… Only a revolution that tore down the infrastructure of technology in our world would be sufficient. And I could only do that from the inside.

    I needed to upload DIY informational and educational content full of misinformation and absurdist comedy. That way, the system would fall apart. People wouldn’t trust machines, and we would all have to trust ourselves.




    1. They did not falsely claim to be the OC creator, and they credited you.

    2. This is a public forum. If you intend to make money off of it later, you shouldn’t be freely posting the images publically without any watermarking. I don’t know what jurisdiction would apply here on this federated forum, but to give an example of one of the most litigated jurisdictions, the USA:

    Copyright exists automatically in an original work of authorship once it is fixed, but a copyright owner can take steps to enhance the protections. The most important step is registering the work. Registering a work is not mandatory, but for U.S. works, registration (or refusal) is necessary to enforce the exclusive rights of copyright through litigation. Timely registration also allows copyright owners to seek certain types of monetary damages and attorney fees if there is a lawsuit, and also provide a presumption that information on the registration certificate is correct.

    Copyright registration also provides value to the public overall. It facilitates the licensing marketplace by allowing people to find copyright ownership information, and it provides the public with notice that someone is claiming copyright protection. It also provides a record of this nation’s creativity.

    Perhaps you should register your works if you are serious about it.

    1. Crossposting doesn’t re-upload, it still links to your original image. This is essentially someone finding your website, and admires an image, then share the link to the image. If you go to your profile and delete it, its also gone from the crosspost.

    2. @cm0002@lemmy.world For news articles, links or even c/asklemmy questions, its totally fine. For OC content, I’d probably just try to not piss off people. Like it’s not morally wrong or anything, I get that you intent is just wanting to share, but like… if the original creator explicitly asked you not to… I’d just not.
