Pointing at Stephen Miller and exclaiming "Conflict of interest!" is like arriving late to a party and then farting quietly in a corner.

Seems like you've cracked the code.

The first commandment IS monotheism.

If you interpret monotheism as incompatible with materialism and as prescriptive of equality, most Jews, Christians and Muslims lose it at the first commandment.

Edit: Self included, naturally.

In a sense, this is also the point. They are different devices targeting different markets.

Not going to lie, there are some holes in the metaphor.

The blindfolds that we see being used all the time on Palestinians are banned and considered torture under English law. No one mentions that.

The selfie mocking is rich af. Guys, you have the most selfie army the world has ever seen.

Trump is actually Hari Seldon and we're simply unable to comprehend his genius grasp of psychohistory.

Well, yes, there is that.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying governments could force MS, Google, Apple to implement content filtering tools at the OS level, that give users the choice to set up filtering however they want for themselves or their kids.

Those against website age verification argue that content blocking should happen at the OS level. For example, a parent could enable the built-in "child mode" on their child's smartphone or computer. As I understand it, that would be more effective, graceful, cheaper, free speechy, and private. To a degree, tech savvy parents (and people who block ads and other content) already do similar things with third party tools - i.e. it's feasible.
