It isn’t about protecting children. This is the Epstein class we’re talking about here. Protecting kids is the excuse they’re using in order to gain more control. The real purpose behind it is to usher in digital ID and create a total surveillance state. We need to fight like hell against it
Canada is not going to be any better. We’re about to become like the UK here soon in terms of privacy if the government has their way.
I am planning to get a dedicated audio player at some point this year. An modded iPod classic 5th or 6th gen with Rockbox. It’s offline, and you get so much more flexibility once you mod it, you can’t really go wrong. It’s a bit of an upfront cost though but a worthy investment.
The android app I use for music is Musicolet. It’s offline and has a lot of really nice customization options. Also free.
I will not co-parent with the government. The Epstein class suddenly cares about the safety and well being of children? I don’t think so.
