Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the >internet and created infinite spam.
The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks.
Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying “we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!”.
The social media networks know this doesn’t really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally).
They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons
Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they’re not advertising to children because it’s been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults
The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do.
It’s a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections.
It fucks over everyone else.
Chat, I’m not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.
This isn’t schizo.
The only fantastical element of this is that advertisers will not specifically target children with specific advertisements, which they have done, and will certainly keep doing.
Most people just don’t understand any of the tech involved in this, or the people involved with this… untill its too late to stop them.
Even though the ‘schizos’ have been trying to explain such things for decades now.
Oh well, I guess the Zoomers don’t remember a pre PATRIOT ACT United States.
Or maybe this is from a Millennial with Terminal Twitter Brain, which I guess we are calling ‘main character syndrome’ these days.
I can fix that fantastical part: advertisers can now claim any targeting of children is inadvertent because they know they’re not supposed to do that and they have the age verification. So it must have been someone spoofing the system.
I mean, Facebook and Tiktok have literally both studied, in extensive detail, how to advertise to children, the mental effects their platforms have on children, and of course how to leverage both of those things together.
This is public knowledge, they’ve been in court over it.
Facebook is massively coddling Trumps balls, and Tiktok is basically literally owned by him/his cronies.
They do not even need to pretend that any laws apply to them.
