If a new account has that much power to abuse the system, then your problem is not the 2FA security. They don't need to crack your account, a bad actor could just create a new account for themselves.
For the same reason alcoholics can never understand the reason they tend to drink is as much because of the hangover, as it is whatever they did to start drinking.
I use the "unhook" extension which let's you remove recommendations, set your youtube home page to your subscriptions (chronologically ordered videos), block shorts and more (you can cherrypick the features you want). Highly recommended. I would have paid for youtube premium if I was given these options, honestly.
They are constantly testing pushing other things into the subscription box.
What I want is it to only show me videos. Now, it also shows shorts, and also now “community posts” which are frequently just self-promotion and useless polls that drive engagement. I’ve started unsubscribing from anyone that uses those features too much. I want videos not “check out my twitch channel” and “want more merch? Check out my merch! Also this is a poll so that you will click it”
One channel I follow got some new “comments from the community” kind of feature, and suddenly posts from anyone on YouTube were showing up in my sub box because they also subscribed to the same creator. All of the posts were image posts that were blatantly rule breaking spam, or comments like “why is this a feature”. None of them were from anyone I intentionally followed. Literally just random internet comments as a huge section in my sub-box. I instantly unsubscribed.
YouTube REALLY wants to shove other content into the “subscription box” because as-is it lets you avoid all the algorithmic clickbait.
I'm a Java dev, so I don't have any skin in the game either for Rust or C++, I was simply pointing out that Mozilla has spun off Rust and let go of some of it developers who were focussed on adding Rust to Firefox.
You can still be fined for 'failing to comply' with the legislation even if no objectionable content has been posted.
To be in compliance there is a whole list of things you need to do, some of which are expensive.
Hiring lawyers, attending compliance training courses, writing software to scan for CSAM, modifying your website so that it can verify the identity and age of every poster.
The compliance training requirement isn't that you attend training. It is that when you hire people to design or operationally manage your site you train then in how the site handles compliance. It also only applies to large sites or multi-risk sites.
The scanning for CSAM only applies to (1) large sites that are at medium or high risk for image-based CSAM and (2) services that are at high risk of image-based CSAM and either have more than 700k monthly UK users or are file-storage or file-sharing services.
I might have missed it but the only age verification requirement I'm seeing is that if the site is a large service that has a medium risk for grooming or it has a high risk for grooming and it already has a means to determine the age of users, then the site has to do some things like when recommending new contacts not recommend connections between adults and children and not allowing adults to send unsolicited DMs to children.
A small to medium sized forum site that is already doing to kind of monitoring and moderation that you have to do to keep your site from being completely overrun with spam and off topic material shouldn't really have to make many changes. Mostly it will just be writing some documentation.
That's a good point, but the thing to do in that case is post the original URL and add an archive link in the thread. I've done that now (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43152546).
Using numerical prefixes like the 'Johnny Decimal' system for folder organization is fine for personal files, if that floats your boat, but trying to implement it in a shared team area can be a recipe for strife. At best people will think you are slightly mad expecting them to memorise lists of numbers just to file things.
