Really? You shouldn't have to put in much effort to realize that not every adult has children or has family with children.

The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home. If the guns are behind locked doors away from children, they're secured.

In most of the US, there is no legal requirement of registering a weapon to a person. I think you're confusing that with the Wisconsin law restricting the unsupervised use of dangerous weapons by those under 18.

Sure, but if it wasn't for vulture capitalism trying to cut every cent possible, it'd be a minor increase in cost to make these systems degrade gracefully. Then at worst it'd still function as the equivalent 'dumb' device.

They have already censored entire accounts at the request of governments.

Decentralized isn't the right word to use for a system like this.

Even though BS is going to appoint multiple different volunteer moderators (aka "Trusted Verifiers") for this system, ultimate authority and control are entirely centralized with BS.

Check the Tech Ingredients YT channel.

Tech Ingredients YT channel made a diy microwave directed energy device to disrupt consumer drones.

More like: That could be useful, just not for (perhaps many) drones.

1km isn't that far - the drones that were used for surveillance of Minneapolis protests in 2020 were around 6km up.

If they needed to get close for some reason, would a 1km deterrent be countered enough by approaching from directly above and using gravity for the last km?

And green lasers

Based on that logic, maybe reworking it to use 'toxin' instead would get it boosted...

Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.
