The government will just outlaw producing replacement parts for older cars and ban mechanics from fixing them. Just like they're doing for older HVAC systems.
⚠️This is a direct result of Texas's SB 2420/App Store Accountability Act, which supporters say just protects kids from p0rn and is a "narrow law" that won't affect adults.
This is Bluesky's age verification screen....this is a social media platform, not an adult content site.
➡️Bluesky is doing this gating ITSELF, at the platform level, not through the App Store. As predicted, SB 2420's compliance pressure is already reaching web-based platforms that aren't even app store downloads.
👀The label says "Age Assurance" in the top left, not age verification. This is the industry term for estimation techniques that use behavioral data, IP detection, and device signals to infer your age. The screen even admits it: "This estimate may be inaccurate if you're using a VPN." They're identifying Texas users by IP address.
➡️Supporters call this "privacy preserving transmission." That only describes the user-facing experience, not the back-end data architecture. Someone still knows where you are, who you are, and whether you're allowed to access a social media app.
SCOTUS declined to block this law Monday while the appeals process continues at the Fifth Circuit. This is what enforcement looks like in practice.
🚨This is NOT a narrow law. If it passes at a federal level, it will impact EVERY American.
Do not be like this dumbass. Do not record yourself doing this. Do not take your phone with you. Flock Cameras are using Bluetooth and 5g to detect phones and can track you down with that information.
Bro is screwed. He just uploaded the evidence that will be used against him.
Really odd how all the people featured in Nick Shirley videos in Minnesota are guilty of fraud but somehow the ones in California aren't and also its now illegal to look into it according to the State of California.
Very funny that if you used the interspecies naming convention for black-white crosses you'd end up with "whacks" for white father mulattos and "blights" for black father mulattos
