In this case, when apple made people dox themselves to be able to use their apple devices in the UK, it was corporations and governments working together to fuck all of us

and remember! It’s not about protecting kids, it never was and it isn’t now.

Did you know the age verificatiion that apple did within the UK wasn’t mandatory for them? They chose to go out of their way to kiss ass.

the online safety act would be undone within 1 day if apple sent a message to every UK-dwelling apple device warning them that their apple devices won’t work within a week if they don’t petition their government to undo that bullshit totalitarian surveillance and censorship bullshit

by the way…apple can just decide to make your apple products not work anymore. They can also remove any app from your apple products they don’t want you to have. 1 update is all it takes.

This is why AI shouldn’t be making any management decisions

that tech at IBM all those years ago had it right the whole time

it’s better to find common ground with your peers and then to work with them to make life better for everyone.

If Ted Cruz is in favor of free speech, so you can work with him on free speech issues to help everyone of all colors and creeds

And he really is in favor of free speech. He’s never tried to shut down any of his critics. People send him all kinds of nasty things on twitter and he doesn’t even block any of them.

Section 230 is an absolutely vital regulation that allows the internet to be free, getting rid of it would be horrible

If he’s working with Ron Widen it means Ted Cruz has the correct position on free speech.

Do you have any idea how many people on the internet make fun of Ted Cruz? Have you ever heard him say those people should be banned or censored?

Ron Widen is cool, he was in favor of title 2 net neutrality, he’s against NSA spying and from what I understand he realizes that age verification is a cybersecurity risk to everyone

because AI as it is now is designed for mass data collection

Well the good news is that using AI is way more expensive than hiring real people. So maybe after the AI bubble pops for that reason we might see social media doing an about-face with this

Weak, half-measure. You should be fighting against that for everyone regardless of which OS they use

I sleep with the door open because I live by myself with my cats and my dog

There’s already laws against CP, as for NSFL stuff, like liveleak or police bodycam videos where someone dies, just don’t click on stuff like that if you don’t want to see it

I suppose it depends on what you say to him.

I’ve seen people call him out for making people dox themselves to get verified and they’re still on there.

the only thing I don’t like is the way they changed the verification system.

They’re still going to be annoying

it’s not actually about accepting anyone, I know. They just think they need to do that to sell more shit

don’t take the bait if you see a neatly stacked supply of bricks at a protest.

Less censorship is always better.

You could get banned over anything at all before musky elon took over, at least now you can talk back to people who start shit with you

if you use a credit card to pay for mullvad or buy a voucher from the Canadian amazon store, there would be financial records of that. Peaceful protestors in canada have already been de-banked yes, the trucker’s protestors. The media is evil and they lie constantly…don’t trust them.

So maybe the banks in canada would be set to block any transactions to buy VPN subscriptions or to buy anything even related to subverting control. There’s already been talk about banning bitcoin and other cryptocurrency like Monaro. They claim it’s to protect the environment, but really it’s because cryptocurrency is impossible for one single person to control.

but then there’s VPN providers like Nym which are run entirely by volunteers. Totally de-centralized networks for VPN providers might be the future. People from Proton have already talked about doing that if they couldn’t run it they way they currently do.

I wonder if proton and mullvad will do the same maybe even Nym will stop operating there

southpark had a fight scene between cartman and a dwarf.

“c’mon c’mon get down with the sickness”

Thank Jesus and God that my boss never does that
