It doesn’t really matter whether he deserves it or not if he moved the Norwegians then that is enough to be special for them. Not for you and I because we didn’t grow up with him, but to the ppl who did.

It is a fact that norwegians are mourning him national wide and it is a huge “event” for them, they care about him deeply.

I don’t understand how they feel, but I respect their feelings and wanted to share the information so that everyone can make an informed decision about how they interact with the news.

Just for information for you and everyone else. This king is very special. He is called by the Norwegians grandpa, they feel very close to him. So I assume that is the reason for the down votes. I don’t think they feel the same for the rest of the Royal family, Harald is just very special for all of the Norwegians. I have heard he was a very kind and compassionate king. But it is better to ask a Norwegian about it.

Awww come on. Come up with some fun ideas!

There are no bad ideas, this is a safe space.

It is when we put them in action they could be bad (we have seen some versions already).

that was a good example.

So the police do checks when something seems off, they get a tip or just random checks (which could just be them looking at feeds) so everyone follows the law and parents has the biggest responsibility to make sure the kids follow the law/rules/ban/stay safe.

I like your solution, I would add that we should also add education about internet security (the things you wrote) in the curriculum. And also educate/inform parents at the school yearly or something like that as part of it.

Wouldn’t the last one (algorithm) be what they kinda try to do now (like Discord blocks you from 18+ stuff) and that is why they need to know your age so kids won’t se some stuff that adults can?

I think this is a very interesting topic. How can you verify that someone is of age without the problem with privacy?

Would you go to a kiosk or something and buy a code that is not bound to you as a person but the person who works there have verified that you are over 16? So it will kinda be like a steam code except they need to check your actual age with a valid identification (that is only shown to the person) and that code will be bound to an account when claimed. If it is per account then that could also make it annoying for kids to create multiple accounts if they aren’t of age.

How else could you do it without needing to trust someone to keep your identity safe?

Throw your ideas at me!

And we do not need perfect, look at alcohol consumptions, that is illegal for kids but some find their ways anyway. It just needs to be annoying so most don’t do it or do it less
