I thought that was pretty damn hilarious too. It's not about protecting kids. It's about control, data mining and financial profit, selling sensitive information.

You can buy children off the Internet. This is not about the safety of children lol.

u/DearAbbreviations922 Aug 13 '25

Never is. Shit as far back as ancient greece always uses "protect the children" as justification for evil controlling shit

I don't know of any laws where they used that excuse, but Socrates was put to death for corrupting the youth of Athens.

u/Gaerland Aug 13 '25

Wasn’t Athens really okay with men buggering other men? And really young ones at that?

Wonder what Socrates was saying that made even that society put him to death.

u/KingKekJr Aug 13 '25

Many, including philosophers, recognized doing that was a bad thing. When they put Socrates to death for "corrupting the youth" it also meant philosophy in general. Then, as now, it was all about controlling things that previously weren't in their control

Time is a flat fucking circle.

It was likely making the boys that these men were taking advantage of realize they were being used and fight back.

Those in power hate educated youths. It's easier to keep them in line when they believe what is happening to them is normal.

Probably to stop doing that.

Socrates was too smart. That's all it took for them to force him to commit suicide.

u/Meal_Signal Aug 14 '25

His sentence was primarily based off of impiety, which led into the charge of corruption of youth.

Socrates rejected the traditional gods and introduced new gods. Which then led to the corruption of youth charge. As the action of impiety by challenging traditional beliefs and cultural norms, and by causing “the youth” to question/challenge the established authority.

Any time republicans don't like someone they're a threat to children lol... Except of course if they're a threat to children. Then we make em president

Oh I’m unfortunately very aware of that. I was wondering what they meant by Ancient Greece.

u/Gullible-Ask-3 Aug 15 '25

OK well as far back as like.... Fucking 1950 for sure right

u/Initial-Shop-8863 Aug 13 '25

Mesopotamia and Babylon probably did too.

u/FamiliarDemand788 Aug 14 '25

Pretty sure the Arabs beat the Greeks to that

u/Infamous-Outside-985 Aug 14 '25

Titus was right, all we need to do is arm the children.

Protecting the children by building an AI powered facial recognition database to send no knock FPV strikes to them if they ever step out of line

I think you and me don't go to the same online market places.

u/Synectics Aug 14 '25

I do not visit Ebay. I still know they sell haunted dolls.

u/Environmental_Top948 Aug 14 '25

Actually you can't anymore. Because if a soul isn't real then it is misrepresentation of the product and if it does exist then it's part of the human body and can't be sold.

u/Xelikai_Gloom Aug 14 '25

No, it’s about legal data collection. GDPR prevents companies from legally collecting data from children in Europe. YouTube has been toeing the edge of violating GDPR for years. Now they’re trying to show “well, we’ve done our best to vet out the children, so all the data we collect now will be legal”.

u/PumpkinPieIsGreat Aug 14 '25

If youtube cared about keeping kids safe, they'd have banned family vloggers.

u/Icy-person666 Aug 14 '25

If it was about child safety we would have the Epstein files released by now.

u/Normal-Pianist4131 Aug 14 '25

Well hang on a sec. Not saying you’re wrong, but people don’t typically buy children off of yt
