"Not locking your door" is a bad example because it exploits a physical weakness not a psychological. Society does not expect people to be invulnerable but it generally expects them to control their desires in the face of temptation.

Hacking is also a bad example because it circumvents the consent of the system. People who click on a ragebait do with their full consent.

Nobody pretends that calling people weak-minded will necessarily change their behavior. However, if you move freely in public you should be able to take at least a little bit responsibility for your actions. And in the case of kids restricting their screentime should be manageable as a parent.

- Multiple countries are planning age verification for social media with definitions of social media so broad that it might even cover traditional forums, chats etc.. If we knew the system was only required for porn pages it could be easily avoided and would not cause so much controversy.

- Bringing up offline cases where privacy might be improved are not helpful for online cases where anonymity used to be the default.

1) A piece of code segfaults. I don't understand why. I post it as Stackoverflow question to make sure there is no obvious mistake with the code itself.
2) First responder wants complete compileable example.
3) I answer them that the code itself doesn't crash always and it's part of a large project so I cannot post the full code.
4) First responder makes sarcastic response involving crystal balls.
5) 4 downvotes. Ask for topic closure.
6) Someone finds the actual error with the code and posts the correct solution.
7) I want to mark the solution as the correct one but the question has already been closed due to "lack of information".

Provide this and people will go electric in droves. In my street, there are only 3 chargers and more are not allowed because the net won't sustain it. And the municipal energy company won't upgrade it because money.

Once car model availability becomes the last problem to solve, _then_ you can ban ICEs.
