People may wonder - why is there so much focus on moving away from Big Tech.

The reality is that so few people own so much of our lives. It is time we change that.

Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera. By clicking "Start Verification" below, you understand that you will be leaving Twitch and will be redirected to Persona's service, and further understand and acknowledge that Twitch may send Persona limited personal information about you to facilitate the identity verification process, in accordance with Twitch's Privacy Notice.

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links If DDoSing a blog wasn't bad enough, archive site also tampered with web snapshots.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.

Something we can all strive to do more of is prioritizing putting our money towards passion.

Support the indie dev. Commission the artist. Order the vinyl. Small actions have big impacts; and if we fail to protect the humanities with our attention and our wallets we'll miss them when they're gone.

Mullvad was banned on British TV & then this underground ad got banned by the government body Transport For London. “The argument was clear: you cannot encourage people to engage with a banned TV commercial.”

there’s another reason why Mullvad is my VPN

Post on X HOLY SMOKES. Transgender Democrat Minnesota Rep. Leigh Finke demands that we give "queer kids" access to P*RN for "educational purposes" 8.. Minnesota Republican are trying to require age verification for adult websites The transgender cult is SICK.

X going wild over a legislator in Minnesota who spoke up about how AV laws are being used to censor LGBTQ+ content. The online right quickly turned it into anti-trans, pro-censorship, eliminationist propaganda.

This is why we fight.

Reminder: under no circumstance should you give discord your ID.

It is gonna -suck- trying to set up alternatives, and this whole fiasco is going to damage communities, but you CANNOT give them your info

Also, do not stop calling your lawmakers to protect #Section230. Call them everyday, because many LGBTQ+ youths need the internet to survive this cruel world that views their existence as undesirable. Repealing it is part of Project 2025.

I will say, the best way to tell normies why KOSA/KOSPA/Age Verification is bad is the following sentence:

"ICE wants your kids' faces, and KOSA will hand it to them on a silver platter."

Follow up with the fact that ICE isn't gonna stop at the kids either if you really want to chill their bones

YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz Livestreams AI Companies Are Funding Anti-LGBTQ Laws

who could have seen this coming?

tl;dr: KOSA demands everybody identify themselves mandatorially. Its also anti-LGBT and very fashy.

I am fairly sure the point of this is so AI money idiots can train their models on "human data" verified by mandatory ID.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Listen to Queer Youth on Section 230 Repealing Section 230 would be dangerous or deadly for thousands of young people, activists, and journalists

These groups are exploiting the real pain & anger people rightfully feel towards Big Tech while positioning Section 230 as the problem when their true aim is to restrict resources/online free speech of groups they don’t like. Please sign + share: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

Pay close attention to some of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s partners frothing at the mouth to sunset Section 230. NCOSE is a raging homophobic organization hell bent on erasing LGTBQ life from media...not to mention the Heritage Foundation?

if you live in Wicsonson, theyre trying to push through an insanely restrictive Age Verification law that would make it illegal for an ADULT to use a VPN to access "material harmful to minors"

contact your legislators NOW

EFF to Wisconsin Legislature: VPN Bans Are Still a Terrible Idea Wisconsin’s S.B. 130 / A.B. 105 is a spectacularly bad idea. It’s an age-verification bill that effectively bans VPN access to certain websites for Wisconsinites and censors lawful speech. We wrote

The Wisconsin Senate is voting on S.B. 130/A.B. 105, a problematic age verification bill that effectively bans VPN access to certain websites. If you live in Wisconsin, now is the time for you to contact your State Senator and urge them to vote down this bill. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
