Well, in my country the citizens managed to push back on broad logging of all internet traffic. It went to court and the logging was deemed illegal. Appealed to supreme court - deemed illegal again. Entered EU court, deemed illegal again.
That was 3 years ago I believe. The logging never stopped and continues to this day. The courts are a lie. Democracy is a lie. Pushing back doesn't matter. The only solution is some sort of technology similar to encryption, Tor, freenet etc.
A simpler and probably more effective solution (and arguably more moral) would be to make it so only the sons of billionaires and sitting elected officials are allowed to go to war. We would have worldwide peace within a week.
It will absolutely occur. Men who take their kids to the playground by themselves are often confronted (by moms of other kids).
At some point things are so obvious that not many people are going to bother finding a peer reviewed study to cite. Maybe they should but they won't.
Everyone's experience is different, but my understanding (and experience) has always been the opposite: People see a dad taking his kid out to the playground and think "dad of the year" before they think of a pervert, because the bar for what it takes to be a good dad is so low. There are so many uninvolved dads out there that the smallest token gesture like taking your kids to the playground is seen as some huge accomplishment.
But it's also insulting when someone makes off-hand remarks about "giving mom a break," etc. I have 4 year old twins and a nearly 2 year old singleton. We're all busy as fuck here, but no one ever diminishes my wife's ability to be a parent.
I've never seen that happen myself, but I have heard of it. My only theory is that it happens in places which are heavily socially/politically conservative and "backwards", where women can't imagine men being an actual real parent.
I live in a flyover state and have never had that sort of thing happen...I actually assumed the opposite, that socially/politically liberal areas would be less accustomed to seeing two-parent households and would be wealthy enough to have busybodies with too much time on their hands.
in new zealand men are not able to work as teachers or caregivers. which essentially means, men are not trusted with children. i don't think of new zealand as conservative or backwards, even though that attitude certainly is backwards, but that makes it tautological.
Not sure where you are but here in the UK I have been taking my children to the playground on my own for 10 years now and I have never seen this happen either to myself or another Dad. At the weekends I'd say it's mostly Dads in fact.
Self hosting is not sufficient. We saw that with the kiwi farms website. I didn't follow their story too close but it's wild how not just Cloudflare dropped them but also how big ISPs were willing to drop routing to them.
You can self host. It helps. Won't help you if major ISPs decide your self hosted ip shouldn't exist online.
There's a huge difference between some random techie self-hosting their own website and email for personal use, and a server full of people who spew hate and actively attack others.
If you're worried about getting the same treatment as KiwiFarms...maybe don't spread hate or dox and stalk people??
Governments make the same arguments. If you want encryption you are either a terrorist, or extremist. Everybody should be able to self host, and nobody should be looked down upon for selfhosting.
It is not a bad thing that somebody wants not to rely on any centralized government or corporate system, or want their data to be private.
Centralized bodies are prone to abuse power. We should work towards decentralized systems, and towards self hosting.
I mean, I agree that we should both promote and support self-hosting, but it does not at all follow that what happened to KiwiFarms was in any way an injustice or a cautionary tale about the horrors of centralized power.
If the ability to self-host came, without exception, at the cost of being able to prevent groups like KiwiFarms from bullying, harassing and abusing people, then it would not be worth it.
Fortunately, that's not the case! We can have a middle ground, where people who treat each other with respect and dignity can self-host without fear, and people who abuse the system to actively harm others can be taken offline.
Android does provide this. Your app can send out a message on the system: "i need a picture" and usually the built-in camera-app will accept the request, and send a picture back to the requesting app (which then does not need camera permissions since it, itself, never accesses the hardware).
This feature is actually quite foundational to the Android architecture, where the vision was a bunch of small apps working together in this manner.
Unfortunately it's a slightly more clunky user experience than what users these days have gotten used to: big monolithic apps that handle everything themselves.
That was 3 years ago I believe. The logging never stopped and continues to this day. The courts are a lie. Democracy is a lie. Pushing back doesn't matter. The only solution is some sort of technology similar to encryption, Tor, freenet etc.
