  1. Yard work this past weekend resulted in poison ivy IN MY EYE. 😭

    This poor eye is swollen & itchy & torturing me.

    Poison ivy for sensitive people takes WEEKS to clear.

    Going to be awesome when everything is face scan age verified.

  5. Am I the only one who feels like #ageverification would just take the joy out of most things? If I had been required to scan my face to play WoW, I would never have started, and never have met one of my closest friends. If I had been asked to upload ID to join a dating app, I wouldn't have met my spouse.

    I wouldn't have gotten into coding, found lots of awsome music, discovered meditation, or met all kinds of people from all over the world. My life would have been so much poorer.

  7. Over 60? No social media

    Many voices have argued for a ban on social media for children. I have argued on some occasions that an age ban on social media is a senseless and even dangerous idea. What I’ve argued is that the problem is not the children’s age, but the sickening business model of social media. But hey! I changed my mind. We need age control on social media. I believe people over 60 should be banned. To understand why, let’s first define the problem we want to solve with such a ban.1 Ban elderly […]

  11. Right, so even after you turn 16 in the UK, and you suddenly get access to social media, you'll still be banned between 00:00 and 06:00, in a government enforced curfew? 😆😆

  19. "Hands off our VPNs, privacy groups tell UK ministers"

    theregister.com/networks/2026/

    "Whether the government is persuaded may depend on whether it views VPNs as a niche loophole used by a small minority of teenagers – as its own research suggests – or as the next obstacle to enforcing its online safety agenda."

  27. CW: chat control, age id

    How can you take the "protect the children" speech seriously when some EU countries have an age of consent as low as 14?

    And the problem is doomscrolling TikTok, not the law that allows adults to groom teenagers. Right.

  28. Age verification laws are spreading fast, and it’s a massive privacy trainwreck. Forcing users to hand over IDs or biometric scans kills anonymity & builds giant honeypots for hackers.
