  • Allow me to hijack this thread and ask why shouldn’t the government be allowed to bar me from perpetuating my defective genetics? I am disabled and consequently the government already controls a huge portion of my life, and I get very little input into things, such as where and how I am allowed to work, what I’m allowed to earn in any given field and realistically where I can live. Why should my rights start and end at my ability to inseminate someone?

    I will not have children by choice because my genetics are broken and I don’t want my children to go through this. It is fortunate that I am smart enough to have had this thought and can practice restraint despite my massive rod, but a lot of people aren’t or can’t. Why shouldn’t the government get a say, when they already effectively dictate the lives of disabled people?












  • Because nobody in this comment section are going to know this, as they are just looking to dog on danish politicians (which they deserve and is based), please remember that Denmark has a universal digital ID system. If you are a citizen, you have a digital ID. It is not hard for, say, Facebook, to authenticate you once with this ID. It does not leak information continuously, and a self-respecting platform, unlike Facebook, can simply keep a boolean in their database for “is age verified” after asking the ID system what your age is.

    The only real issue here is that users have no granular control over what information is taken out of the ID system, so Facebook could just take your full name, address and age.

    It’s also not going to be applied universally, because for one danish politicians don’t know that the internet exists outside of TikTok and facebook, but also because that’s not possible to implement.

    If you are a danish citizen, and you’re smart, you go to borger.dk and apply for Name & Address Protection. Then even MitID can’t leak a lot of that information. It’s free and easy.




  • We dislike it because nobody needs it. Nobody here is getting DDoS’d to any extend that needs external protection.

    I’m talking anecdotally but it seems to me that all the people who ride-or-die Cloudflare are also self-hosters who aren’t very knowledgeable about self-hosting concepts and just heard that cloudflare protects against all these imaginary problems because they sure do sound scary!
