The problem with “age” verification is that politicians are confusing it with identity verification.

I should not have to prove my name and other biometrics to prove age.

Age verification is the fascist way to get people to identify themselves and their online activity. Almost every state that has some sort of age verification law has zero method to actually verify age. No digital ID service, no way to share a credential for verification.

They want people to upload an ID.

This isn’t about keeping children safe and it never is. It’s about identifying critics of the government.

The same public libraries that vigorously defend the privacy of our reading lists

The Patriot act allows the feds to get the books you’ve checked out at your local library.

I do on my laptop. Mostly so I can present with one user that has a clean browser history.

My main user has access to all my porn.

She said this as some sort of “gotcha”.

So before we miss the point here …

It is not okay to deport people without due process, even if that person is a cannibal!

This behavior seems to be very similar to NFL stars and how they never wanted their kids to play football.

Everyone involved knows how dangerous social media/football is and many of them are in positions to actually do something about it. But because it benefits them personally, they won’t even rock the boat.

In a completely unrelated move, Ring will partner with a complete difference company that will pay 20% above what Flock was paying.

I wonder if removing the cameras is the best move.

It might be better to let them run but have them watching a TV streaming Disney movies.

Then drop the dime to Disney that they are copying their IP.

You know what the difference is between a million dollars and a billion dollars?

A billion dollars.

Those who make $200k have more in common with people in poverty than people who are billionaires.

I make good money but I am not under any illusion that a bad accident or a medical issue will wipe out my savings in a heartbeat. Just because I can afford to go on vacation doesn’t mean that I don’t understand what it means to be “working class”.

I am working class and their ally. All you’re doing is intentionally creating a wedge between “well off” people and the poor instead of coalescing together to attack the actual capital class.

Just because they aren’t at the poverty line doesn’t mean that they aren’t working class. Unless they can live without working, they are the definition of working class.

Don’t get distracted by those who hoard wealth.

Yeah…even if you prevail in the circuit court, it’s getting overturned at SCOTUS.

They absolutely do but only to shit on them for not looking feminine enough.

My understanding is that if your community is not adult content and you aren’t on any adult servers, you won’t need to ID verify. But I suspect it’s only a matter of time before all accounts are required to verify.

If people didn’t leave Twitter when it became an unholy cestpool of alt-right propaganda, they have chosen to stay there because their audience is the alt-right.

By this logic, I’m all fight as well.

Come at me.

And you absolutely know that if the snow did melt, conservatives would be blaming him for not making the snow stay.

LITERALLY in-group/out-group behavior

The DevOps way is to have them die at regular intervals in addition to other triggers and then rebuild on a regular cadence. Iirc correctly Netflix servers have a 12 hour TTL. Windscribe could easily do a 1-2 hour TTL with matching certs and encryption keys.

The biggest issue is that making a browser from scratch takes a lot of resources. It’s not cheap and takes a long time.

We essentially have Chrome and Firefox now. And Firefox is starting to enshitify.

We desperately need a third browser.

Subpoenas, generally speaking, do not require a signature of a judge and aren’t subject to the same scrutiny as a warrant.

Subpoenas are issued against third parties (in this case Google) to compel the release of information. Google can fight the subpoena in court, but they generally don’t.

The enforceability only comes if Google decided not to comply, at which point they could offer to sell the information to the government or a judge ruled that Google must comply.

Again, most companies comply because they often lack the incentive to not comply.
