Gaslighting has become so trendy that it's now a renewable energy source.

Rockstar has decided to a court order forcing Discord to surrender personal data from around 100,000 users. Most of them never leaked anything. Innocent bystanders got swept up because a multi-billion dollar company decided their leak hunt mattered more than privacy.

Now think about Discord is going push for age verification.

If they start collecting IDs and face scans “to protect kids” that data doesn’t stay locked away. The next time Rockstar (or any other giant with lawyers) wants someone, they already have a ready-made list of real names, faces, IPs and device IDs sitting there waiting to be handed over.

You can get wrongly flagged and still end up in their system. There is no real process. Just corporate power backed by a judge.
That’s why Privacy shall have exists for a reason. It is the only barrier to stop greedy companies and out-of-control platforms from turning every chat into a surveillance tool the moment it benefits them.

Governments corruption that let actual rapists, murderers and kidnappers walk free suddenly act like social media is the biggest threat to children. That priority is completely backwards.

Age verification plus data seizures is not protection for children. It is a permanent record waiting to be abused any time!

Fuck rockstar.

We have to fight back against government corruption and abolish age verification!

@Daniel86Cycles @jackinwarsaw @aleksil79 @nosilverv I view thought to be a part of consciousness but thought isn't necessarily a part of intelligence. The thought process happens and the intelligence is the engine behind it. Which is why I think you don't have to have thought to exist but you do for consciousness.

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@Daniel86Cycles @jackinwarsaw @aleksil79 @nosilverv I lean towards your thoughts. However, a question with this line of thinking, is intelligence the same as consciousness? I think most agree that an animal can be intelligentwould that imply smarter animals have a dialogue process? Or is consciousness a leveraging of intelligence?

@Pagan_GMR They put less effort into cracking down on grooming servers then this.

@bitcoin__intern @pawgcheekedup @MojaveArtClub I'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic based on how they started the sentence.

@Illusiveman7777 @growing_daniel United States of Subscriptions. I would rather live out of my car.

@jackantoff @sweetsweatcj And for decades they were built as needed, but now "for the future" we need a gazillion more. 🫤

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@jackantoff @sweetsweatcj Somehow it's different this time guys. I swear!

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@jackantoff @sweetsweatcj Fuck I remember when Walmarts were only going to help local economies and now they're one of the biggest abusers of the welfare state to make more profit than ever.

@AviranV @mhiggins If they are as updated as you claim then how did so many of them get attacked/sabotaged in the past 5 years? There is an obvious war on existing infrastructure and yall are focused on creating data centers just because of greed and AI hype.

@mhiggins @AviranV I hear people still use rubber wheels! In 2026!

If we're going to parade out arguments about 'obsolete technology' why haven't we updated our train infrastructure? Oh it's because it doesn't make y'all any money or give the govt or copos any extra power over the public.

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@AviranV @Concupiscible26 No, what really happens is the ponzi scheme of the stock market falls apart and it's not the public's problem. This urgency came out of nowhere and its so transparent it makes glass look opaque.

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@Bobbythirdway It's almost as if it's important to know which choices are healthy and what the consequences are of an unhealthy choice. They just want to live in blissful ignorance where their choices couldn't possibly be the problem. Our (USA) main problem in 2026 is a lack of accountability.

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@Bobbythirdway @ExergyDev Their favorite goto is to try to "gotchya" you by creating false equivalences. It's the same old playbook used when they have no actual merits or arguments to win you over, so they try to make you look foolish to an outsider since they can't win you over.

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@erichhartmann It's going to work out exactly like they want it to. He fell for their lies that they care about the farmers. They don't. In fact they hate them. Our food pipelines are being attacked through legislation and chemical warfare (parasite, bacterial outbreaks).

[BIlly Williamton @BillyWilliamton]

@ctdonath @sAywHAAt5 @MorlockP He's not the one trying to 'win' people over here. Yall are so up your own asses its astonishing.
