RE: https://ohai.social/@Garwboy/116753869821948051
Unintended consequences - The age verification debate is backwards. It prioritizes theoretical risks to privileged kids over documented harms to those already marginalized. For disabled youth, LGBTQ+ teens, and kids in unstable homes, social media isn't a distraction—it's a lifeline. Banning access punishes the most vulnerable while doing nothing about algorithmic harms. Real policy would protect without erasing. #AgeVerification #DigitalEquity #DisabilityJustice #a11y #MarginalizedVoices

This must be a joke because glitch‑free video calls don't exist. Or is it just me?

Build without broadcasting.
The most powerful movements don’t always make noise—they build trust, strategy, and care in quiet. Not every system needs to go public to matter.
