+1 - this survey is measuring existing demographics, not suitability (although if there are issues there we should definitely flag+fix them). I would expect the numbers for users signing up for Lemmy to be more similar than different.
What if we pooled a little bit of money and bought targeted ads? If 20 or 100 signups would be meaningful those numbers aren’t so expensive to buy and would then give us much more direct signal on whether trans men are bouncing off the community.
Unbeelievable
I don’t trust them first off, but even trusting them to not voluntarily disclose it doesn’t mean they won’t have a security breach and disclose it involuntarily. Also, the database has to be created and queried somehow; some employees and govt workers will be able to see what queries are made. Even trusting the business and the govt and the security of both, I don’t trust those random people having access to that info.
What evidence do you have to give the website that you are person X that they’re running the database query against? If that’s an ID there’s going to be some available online, or a kid can just sneak it from the parent. Everything I’ve heard proposed for the identification strategy is either grossly invasive or quite easy to step over.
I don’t believe that Canada will actually enforce this across all websites. If they do it on only the large/main ones, it makes it harder for kids to access the relatively safe and legal porn hosted on sites making effort to follow the law, and pushes them towards sites that aren’t making such an effort and therefore probably have more objectionable content.
Actually finished my first run of Baldurs gate after leaving it in act 3 over the holidays. Picked up Disco Elysium to give a bit of a break while I decide whether to do a second run or not
Like a pizza fresh out the oven - gooey and even sticky on one side, crusty on the other
