Security Researchers Warn Age Verification Laws Are Building a Global Surveillance System
The people who spent their careers building the security systems governments want to exploit for age verification have finally had enough.
371 security/ privacy academics, including a Turing Award winner, just issued a letter saying age verification laws are building global surveillance infrastructure. Every search, message, and article read would require ID verification.
Democrats are working w/ Republicans to push these laws through

Every post on LinkedIn is a hot take on AI replacing everyone. Many are defending OpenAI. Don't go in there. Please. It's not worth it.

Spotify starves artists to pay this fuckin clown millions. It can feel daunting to leave if you've lived in it for years, but streaming music is a utility now, it's easier than you think to swap providers (and bring your playlists/library with you). Here's a good guide from @bcmerchant.bsky.social:

My prescription for fixing these men:
- 90 day internet detox, cold turkey
- recurring supply of weed and probably Vyvanse
- assure them it's okay to bounce on their boys' meat without shame

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Now I've been told many times, very angrily, that the Dems are the good guys and it's silly to suggest otherwise. Yet there are 200-something Dems in the House so the math here doesn't seem to add up. Curious!

Yeah, this is obviously the solution and them lashing out about it seems to be deflecting from an issue of their own design in the way they made blocking/lists.

BREAKING: Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We donβt want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.
Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out. The American people donβt want this war.

if the government gives you a choice between going to prison or murdering children and you don't choose prison you never had a drop of courage inside you. You're a coward. A worm. A disgrace.
