Okay. I read more and yeah it's basically the same as the US. Apologies for the misstatement

I read one article just now, but it sounds different.
The government's changes to Policy 713, the education policy on gender identity, now make it mandatory to get parental consent before using a child under 16's chosen name and pronoun —even verbally — in class, according to Education Minister Bill Hogan.
And if a child says no to involving their parents, Hogan said they should be directed to a school psychologist or social worker to come up with a plan to do so.
~~This is reasonable IMO. If I'm reading this correctly, the children aren't being forcibly outed. Also I believe conversion therapy is illegal now, so in theory, this would be healthy.~~
~~Frankly, I would want children to have access to supportive parents OR qualified social workers.~~
EDIT: It's not different that the US if you read other articles
It's almost like people could just drink from cups...
Please don't hurt me. I know it's radical.
What is arXiv added moderators, reviews, comments, etc.?
Utter bullshit. I only use these services for academic publications/books (fiction I just get from the library).
Academic articles are paid for with tax money. Fuck private control over tax funded research.
I like the idea. I'm not sure of the risk, because if you lose, then I think you have to pay the other parties legal fees.
If you started a Kickstarter and got good lawyers on board, I'd be willing to contribute. I would need to see the lawyers are well qualified though and preferably only paid if they win.
Anti trust is probably the wrong word. This indicates actions to breakup monopolies.
You'd want an attorney practicing in consumer privacy or data privacy. I believe they already exist.
My experience is that the government typically handles these cases, but I'm very likely wrong.
This I can get behind. It seems fallacious to believe that my choices don't contribute to global warming, but equally wrong to believe that companies haven't forced my hand.
This reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy, which I hadn't considered before. This is an example when a major company absolutely forced me to make bad environmental decisions. Public transport was literally destroyed, forcing more cars on the road.
Isn't this a Bible verse?
I agree. I was replying to your comment that GDPR applies to private data collection for shits and giggles, which isn't correct. For Lemmy, I'm certain it applies. GDPR applies to small churches even
It doesn't apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 (c). For shits and giggles would fall under that.
"Following the rules" is a cop out. There's so many ways for the principal to "follow the rules", but protect the kids.
For example, leave a 10min voice mail where the principle reads the admissions forms line by line in monotone. It's there, and provable. The principal did in fact read line 6 of page 23 where is said "gender, with options male, female. male"
