  1. My issue with this is that there are waaay less invasive ways to do age restrictions, that gives parents way more control without exposing everybody and their IRL ID on the internet.

    But noooo, it's either full surveilance state or your children will suffer 😒

    One of the major problems with trying to ensure #privacy and enforce the #gdpr is the lack of any meaningful action by the #ico. This will get worse when we are forced into more #ageverification systems and a #digitalidentity

    The Open Rights Group have a petition to strengthen the role and powwers of the ICO. If it’s something you agree with, please sign it.

  4. "Age verification" means that everyone who does anything online will have to submit to fine-grained tracking and recording of all their online activities. This nightmare is the surveillance advertising industry's fondest dream, a world where it's literally illegal to avoid their tracking, all in the name of saving kids…from them!

  10. It appears that @[email protected] is selective on the instances that it allows interaction with, seemingly. Probably to protect it's users, who aren't old or adult enough for the regular open internet.

  12. I'm curious how the Mastodon/Fedi admins in California are thinking about SB 976. The law has a pretty broad description of an "Addictive Feed" but it seems like the linchpin component is that the feed be driven by information provided by the user.

    It seems like a stretch for this to mean feed self-curation ("following" a user or hashtag feed)... but perhaps an uncharitable read might imply the Home feed is a violation of this law? It seems like a leap (to this non-lawyer) to claim that as "information provided by the user"

  14. after some good news about Andy Burnham's tech policy - i.e ditching Palantir - we're coming to bad ones (albeit I expected that since he backed the ban in January) mirror.co.uk/news/politics/and

    funny enough he's supposedly against UK Digital ID so... how exactly does he think it's going to get enforced lol

  16. Two More Studies Show that Australia’s Age Verification Laws Have Failed

    Research in one analysis show that 7 in 10 teens still have accounts on Facebook. Another shows 60% are still on social media.

  18. A #Pew Research Centre survey found that nearly 60% of U.S. adults support #banning #socialmedia use for those #under16. Support for this ban spans demographic and partisan groups, with parents of children under 18 and Republicans being the most supportive. Additionally, there is widespread support for policies like #parentalconsent, #ageverification, and #timelimits on #socialmediause for minors. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20 #tech #media #news

  20. I heard self-service tills at #Oxford #Lidl branch required #AgeVerification for the purchase of an A5 sized cutting board made of bamboo. Very dangerous item indeed.

  22. #Reddit is bringing #ageverification to its EU Users with #persona and I am very confused. I got this E-mail after the deadline and also never heard anything about this until I opened my spam(!) folder on Gmail. How isn't this bigger news?

  24. RE: flipboard.com/@hoodline/hoodli

    and so it begins.

    fascists always start with the low-hanging fruit of porn sites, to move rapidly to their real targets ―their "culture war" "lessers".

    if am not mistaken, the domain owners need $900k plus fees to fulfill the base minimum of the bond.

    bonds are usually set for criminals but in this case Texas’ Paxton ―who is running for a seat in the US Senate― has been granted the privilege by their fascist legislature to be his own judge and jury.
