*Revised
Support for "Age Verification" in the Senate is extremely dangerous This document list all the bills (so far) and how many of them each member of congress is sponsoring
While not "Age Verification" this bill is bad:
S.3546 - Sunset Section 230 Act

Look, you have had MULTIPLE data breaches and promised to delete user data and DIDN'T.
It's insane to expect your users trust you after that, esp since this is VERY RECENT stuff that's happened and there's been ZERO proof their data is safe in your hands.
@remixedcat On ubuntu for now. I do want to get to arch one day maybe. I know how to do the sudo install. That's it -.- a irl friend is helping me learn currently
(thread.) All of my time on the internet i barely have used discord much. I created a stoat and a fluxer account after they said they were gonna push for age verification. I've been on fluxer more than discord and stoat. Kind of funny coincidence i lost access to my
@RozettaArt@LivvyPersonals@discord That's just what they want you to think, unfortunately. These systems are easy to bypass and susceptible to getting hacked, leading to Identity Theft and incidents like the 30,000 Govt IDs leaked from Discord.
Discord knows if you submit to age verification that you will be on your best behavior, because they will have a link to your identity, be it direct or indirect, and will be recording and reporting everything.
@notexttospeech You shouldn't be defending Discord if you care about privacy in the first place. Not only Discord is completely proprietary, but they sell their users' data. You should promote Free Software, privacy-respecting alternatives instead, like Jami, Stoat, Mumble etc.
@ColRealPro@discord@svishnevskiy They added an automated profiler based on account signals, which is a better best-case for most people. But the important part is still the fallback—and that still requires submitting personal information (card, ID, etc.). Being profiled isn't ideal either.
@ColRealPro@discord@svishnevskiy at any point discord can force yo to give your personal information to them or lock you out by claiming they think you are younger
@nionsthetic07@HinikuMsS@ColRealPro@discord@svishnevskiy you're still doxing yourself. All Discord done was expand out their third party vendors. Google, apple, and etc. You run your information through them. Only God knows what they are doing with that. It's still too dangerous and risky. Waiting for next data breach to happen

Excellent article by .@brian_lenney on Focus on the Family's recent feature of Meta's coalition leader, Melissa McKay, and the App Store Accountability Act.
Fair point to ask what Jesus would think about a prayer request granting the success of a policy that grants government power over parents and let's Meta off the hook for harms to children...🤔

@notexttospeech the only reason for the glazing is because discord is your entire channel.
your words directly tell them its fine to normalize this. thats literally all you achieved with this post.
If anyone needs help switching to linux, I will get my capture card set up, with a gaming PC that I'm working on for a family friend, just to give a tutorial on how to install Linux, because again fuck Microsoft.
"Laws requiring age assurance are expanding all over the world."
Keep in mind our dumbass governments who refuse to listen to the public did this.
We never agreed or voted that. WE DID NOT WANT THAT.
The moment I see that confirm your age pop up on my Discord, this app will be immediately uninstalled.
They have learned nothing from the IDScan breach.
"Deleting your ID afterwards" doesn't do anything.
Also, Apple/Google app store, Google Wallet, and AgeKey is literally digital ID. Those can be revoked in the future or turned into real name registration mandates.
also to add more to this. Age verification that discord is pushing. Or other the other "methods" Still has you giving out your ID, credit card or face to someone. To discord or not to discord. All discord done here was give you options on how who you give that information too
