@Ben_Benway @Tutanota Yeah, probably that, too...
@arturo2bodegas @Ben_Benway @Tutanota Yeah, let's be clear: they never had good intentions. They just fool people into thinking that they do. They *NEVER* did. I can't emphasize this enough.
Meta and their other co-conspirators who helped bring this about just want to be the sole gateways of the Internet.

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.
When the most corrupt industry on the planet funds a global fascist movement, there are no half-measures.

Did you know about this? Right after the new Fed chair, who is in the Epstein files, was confirmed. It didn't matter. In fact, it was a requirement.

@Tutanota I would argue that it’s both. When you’re at home, do you let your kid surf the web on the PC unabated? If you do, then I can understand why this would be difficult to grasp. Most parents would monitor what their children have access to on the home PC so there is no reason why it shouldn’t be done on their mobile devices as well. Parents have had twenty years to do this and they failed, now the government will step in and do it for you.

Cryptocurrency is a fraud that risks global financial destabilization. It's unregulated banking.
Trump's fascist billionaires use it to evade taxation, hide assets, & fund anti-democracy movements.

@Tutanota it serves the people who are supposed to be holding big tech social media companies to account by allowing said people to say "well, they breached the age verification protections in place so it's not the social business' fault they were encouraged to insert horrific thing here"

The data centers are for AI and also all the energy these crypto transactions require. They can't move to this system until massive data centers are constructed. Hello? Utah!!

I believe the correct term is "surveillance age discrimination and censorship."

@Tutanota I was literally thinking about how the age verification is just another marketing data point last night and crafting a note for my website, and now I can just point to your toot. You saved me the effort!
