When they said they were banning accounts that purchased NSFW art commissions, they apparently meant even past NSFW commissions.

This money is for my mother & now it's being held for 180 days?

@PayPal, this is absolutely unacceptable. I will not be making another account with you & I will never use your service again. This is a joke & I feel awful for anyone, including artists, who have to use your garbage.

Payment processors have no place playing morality police. We’re not in Saudi Arabia and this isn’t the 50s.

Such a fear mongering post to implement Age Verification and attack the first amendment you fucking sad sacks of shit.

SWITZERLAND HAS BEEN COMPROMISED!!!

The country's new proposed surveillance law would require companies like Proton VPN:

>require new users to provide ID

>keep user data for 6 months

>be able to decrypt messages upon police request.

Proton has described this law as "worse than the one in the United States."

As a precaution, Proton has begun to move part of its servers out of Switzerland.

The law faces opposition from companies and politicians so there is a chance it won't pass

🚨🇩🇪 Germany just fined a citizen up to a month's income for posting "Lügenfritz" ("Lying Fritz") about Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a Facebook comment.

Politicians love to call themselves the guardians of democracy. But Germany has a special law that gives politicians MORE legal protection from insults than ordinary citizens get. The powerful, shielded from the powerless who criticize them.

Fining people for airing their opinion is how you take free speech away. It makes the government the editor of every sentence you publish.

[Good old npzman @yourfeedofme]

When the next data breach leaks your ID and face scan that you surrendered as part of age verification, will the government apologize? No. They will just mandate another age verification step.

[No to Digital ID @NoToDigitalID]

A unified Digital ID, with a weak infrastructure, in the era of mass data leaks?

What could possibly go wrong.

Say NO to digital ID

[Reclaim The Net @ReclaimTheNetHQ]

California's Assembly voted 76 to 0 to advance a bill that'll create millions of new identity records, ID scans, and face checks, parked with private companies. The stated goal is keeping under-16s off social media. We all know what's really going on.

[Sentinel @Sentinel757]

@Pirat_Nation I'm still baffled as to why this is still a discussion anymore. If no laws are being broken then payment processors need to shut the fuck up and do their damn job instead of policing what grown adults can buy.

@kimafuma_ They're conspiring against you.

[Savvy ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) @MadamSavvy]

@JonSchweppe You and him have a lot in common.

For starters, youre both retards no one likes.

[Savvy ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) @MadamSavvy]

Awww @JonSchweppe too bad we cant all simply block what you promote as easily as you blocked me.

Doesnt know basic internet safety. Cant handle one person posting data.

But wants to demand YOU THE PEOPLE give all your data to a company to sell and profit off of all in the name of “protecc kids”

[AstroNerdBoy @AstroNerdBoy]

Remember gang, these people don't actually care about children. That's the sugar coating so they can get what they want -- a database with every aspect of your life in it so you can be controlled.

[Julie Barrett @juliecbarrett]

"at baseline, children cannot be allowed unsupervised access to apps and platforms"

A wannabe lawmaker who believes that the government should decide what is best for children. So much for "parental rights"

[Preston Byrne @prestonjbyrne]

They’re not safer, actually. Eroding the First Amendment is a very dangerous thing indeed.

[SXR123 (Dave) @SXR123]

I've seen a LOT of anime.

I've seen anime with weird tropes I don't like, character quirks that are creepy, story arcs that are over used, blatant fan service that kill genuine moments, and so on.

But I accept it for what it is. Could some anime be better if certain things weren't in them? Maybe. Could they reach wider audiences if some fan service were toned down or removed? Probably.

But I'd rather it be what the authors/artists want THEIR stories to be. I can voice an opinion, but ultimately if an anime/manga does something I'm not a fan of, I have the most powerful ability available to me—I turn it off or stop reading.

I want anime/manga to be what the creators want their story to be. If they want heavy fan service, go for it. If they want the creepy perv character, go all in.

I don't have to read/watch if it doesn't appeal to me. Any discomfort I may have does not take precedence over their artistic freedom when I can literally just choose not to engage or stop consuming content I don't like.

[Count Monsparkle @CountMonsparkle]

@omarsbigsister it literally yields the exact same search results.
While not selling off your data.

[Hotcheesecakes (Clippy) @BLkhoih96132]

first off first. Why do you think kids are getting unsupervised access? Idk maybe bc parents A don't care about their kids or B don't have the tech literacy to understand how parental controls work. You should really focus on improving parental controls and education

[DBL MP / Double @dbl_mp1]

It's easier to throw away 1A and 4A rights to baby-ify the internet and lock it behind ID verification to "protect kids".

ofc the gov eats it up bc their solution requires MORE GOV, not ACTUAL child protection methods. They get away with it bc "think of the children!"
