Why do I screenshot instead of retweet? Because it lets me hide and block scams in the thread. For some reason, other accounts just let the scams thrive...
Anonymity was the STANDARD PRACTICE that allowed the United States to exist! Here are the Founding Fathers of the United States that hid their name to publish what the British would have charged them with treason for. Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Thomas Paine...
Privacy is normal.
If social media (seeing what your friends post) is bad for for the young, its probably bad for the aged too, but the aged can vote to violate the rights of the young and not vice a versa.
Everyone in the UK is being banned from social media unless they DOX themselves and beg for access. You shall not browse anonymously. The vast majority of the people harmed by this are those over 16, for they will spend all their time complying their rights away.
How ironic is it that the under 16's whos freedom of association with each other is being violated wouldn't even be able to see this public press release the UK primer minister released on, you guessed it, social media...
The government says it will go "further than a blanket ban on social media" by blocking "harmful functions such as livestreaming and stranger communication with children for under-16s".
"These restrictions – which together with the ban go further than any other country – will apply to a wider range of online services, including on gaming sites," it says.
"Restrictions on these functionalities will also be on by default for under 16 and 17-year-olds to prevent a cliff-edge at 16. The government will also be looking in more detail at overnight curfews and breaks in infinite scrolling for under-18-year-olds and will set out more detail in July."
"This would capture user-to-user platforms, whose purpose is to enable social interaction and which allow users to post material, alongside algorithms. The ban will therefore include platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X."
"We have agency", Starmer said, adding that the government "can" and "will" change things.
"Yes it's hard" to legislate for, regulate and enforce but that's why the government "listened to people" and learned from countries like Australia, he says, where a similar ban has already been introduced.
"We're not just bringing forward a ban" but "going further" with "world-leading action" on gaming services and live streaming platforms, Starmer said.
https://t.co/AhLrK4RZhc tech can relieve some of this suck using zk proofs, but man, I don't think people understand what no internet for you without Doxing yourself on every single website looks like. You guys all know the data you give is going to be stolen by hackers on some portion of the regulated sites right?
Guys, you can't support government book burning, because the next government might burn the books you like. I can't believe I have to actually explain this. There's lots of other reasons to not support it as well.
Richard Heart on Joe Rogan can the universe make it happen?
The $HEX community is down -99.98%
With 5 years of downward trend and savage moments from SEC announcement to whales nuking bottoms
Yet through it all the HEX community still shows up in greater force than any other with over 1000 votes to see @RichardHeartWin on Joe Rogan podcast, putting him into #1 most voted
If you ask me the one reason to have conviction when looking at our charts right now the answer will always be the same, the unkillable community surrounding those assets
Shout out to you crazy bastards, you deserve to make it after everything we have and keep going through
The government is just other people. Those people are trying to make you:
AML/KYC to login to your computer.
AML/KYC to get a phone number.
AML/KYC to go on a website.
AML/KYC to be able to chat.
AML/KYC to use social media.
AML/KYC's many to see spicy photos, X already does this.
AML/KYC to charge your car, (you need a credit card right?)
AML/KYC to pay anyone anything.
AML/KYC to access the newest AI.
Blow into an alcohol meter to start your car.
But the 4th amendment protects your right to privacy, right?
I guess ProveX $PRVX can help remove some of this suck, but man...

I'm tired of searching for all the laws, one of yall can just ask AI and post in thread.
These are just some of the USA regs. Much of the rest of the world already has it worse.
At what point are you guys going to do something about your privacy being rigorously violated, by basically everyone, all day every day, including by those other people that "govern" you. Is this not the opposite of freedom?

It's quite a slippery slope to accept a government's control over speech, even the speech emitted by a machine, because how different really is the text you read from a book, or the text you read from an AI model?
Today for the first time I'm aware of, a government made an AI company turn of it's model to the general public. This is interesting, because all the model does is generate "speech." You could say it emits knowledge. Humans also emit knowledge, and speech. Would it make sense then for the government to shut up humans that could have said or transmitted the same information the AI model could do? That would be an obvious violation of several rights guaranteed under the constitution.
The most slippery of slopes.
