It would take patience and forethought to come up with a successful solution to the "social" networking paradigm we've allowed to develop for the worst reasons by some really doozie bad actors. Seems to be that FN wisdom relies on patience, long-term thinking and the ability to operate in the midst of unresolved conflict (or so John Ralston Saul informed me in his discussion of FN culture being a third pillar of Canadian culture). I don't know how much of that Kinew can bring into a centuries-old governing canon, especially in the context of a panicked population (at least the part that isn't so diverted and apathetic as to not see the issue), It's not a dance I would want to do, particular given how openly the titans of tech have allied themselves with the advocates of authorianism.

@danneau @zazzoo @pluralistic But this isn't going after the "titans of tech", this is going after the end user in the name of going after big tech and they have to provide "proof of age" to the titans of tech, on leaky platforms. Imagine the admin of every Mastodon server instance having to compile age verification info on individuals or else face heavy fines. Big tech can easily implement this stuff. It's the little folks who can't.
