@TempKitsemptVT Once a competent replacement grows large enough. Governments will try to enforce age verification laws.
If we want this to stop, unfortunately we need to voice our concerns against these overbearing legislations being sold to us in the guise of "safety".
@DeepHumor Unfortunately, This is going to be inevitable.
Governments all over the world are forcing this upon everyone in the threat of fine or bans if they don't comply. It's not a 100% discord choice to do this.
Just look at brazil right now. It's a shitshow.
We used to make fun of china for being so strict. But now the world seems to want to follow it's footsteps.
I say this with a tiny bit of humour but using brazil as an example. They openly praise china for handling "internet regulation". Those that control information have the power
@mrronkly@WumpusCentral It's what most security vendors says it's all handled on the users device but they all need to comply with local laws which require they to store data up to x amount of days.
So it's half truths. They do keep data, they have to.
Yoti got caught mishandling data for example.
@Aka_DMG@WumpusCentral Sadly, the hostile market seems to be global at the moment with age verifications law passing or being pushed hard basically everywhere. Tech companies will always chase profit.
When the hostile market is basically the world, you either comply or disappear
@Euske21@WumpusCentral Meta is one of big ones pushing for this but there are alot of lobbying that comes from non tech groups too.
It's all caught in the crossfire. The age verification industry is expected to rake billions, so there is incentive to force this upon everyone. .
@BasedRedhead@WumpusCentral I wish that's how it worked. But it's not.
we have many countries that do this where half the internet doesn't work properly and people have to find work arounds like vpns. I don't think government cares about if works for regular people or not. it's about control not freedom.
@Keniisu@Ava_Ayama It's sad because we all lose but government everywhere are forcing this down our throats. If companies like discord don't comply is either fines or bans of the plataform on said place. Just look what's going on in brazil for example. It's a shitshow.
@blemish8651@WumpusCentral They wont, government everywhere are demanding this to happen or threatening ban/fines of millions.
This isn't necessary a 100% discord choice of action.
Most recent case in the spotlight is brazil where they are demanding age assurance ban/fine. These laws are becoming global
To some of you who are mad at discord. Which is fair, do a bit more research. Unfortunately discord is also being forced by many governments to implement this under threat of multimillion fines and nation wide ban. Most recent case in the spotlight being Brazil, but it's happening in Australia, uk e.u union and the u.s.
They are passing laws in everywhere to force compliance. Soon this wont be a company choice but a state, country one.
@rlaneth@rlaneth O ministerio publico federal (procuradoria federal dos direitos do cidadao) tem uma nota tecnica N 11/2017/PFDC/MPF que defende o ponto de vista de nao criminalizar desenhos bem claramente. nao e parecer juridico mas pelo menos tem clareza, talvez ajude em alguma coisa
@rafa201877728@gamesewaifus@vocesabiaanime_@VoceSabiaAnime@rafa201877728 Rafa, seria interessante voce dar uma olhada na. NOTA TÉCNICA NO 11/2017/PFDC/MPF. Essa nota tecnica fala sobre a liberdade de expressao. A nota em si nao e uma lei mas um parecer. coincidentemente a CNMP limitou as notas tecnicas apos isso.
@CorBa_LeVrai@ArceusBowser212 you're fine. I almost also believed it was the case until i did some research. Around march cnn did the investigation that ended up reporting the non con stuff but there was no mention of csam.
You would think if there was they would probably go wild with that headline instead.
@CorBa_LeVrai@ArceusBowser212 Always do your research before believing anything you see online. There are alot of emotional manipulation to pass laws that undermine some of your rights.
@ayubio@manodeyvin@ayubio nao sei se tem correlaçao mas discord depois das 21h horas começa a ter um problema bem interessante, a pagina de configuraçao simplismente nao carrega, ontem e hoje (11 e 12). uma hora antes do jogo de futebol começar oque e bem estranho duas vezes no mesmo horario.
