When the only option to decline is "don't use our service" and/or "delete everything you've uploaded before AI even existed", then there's no consent and it shouldn't be legal. Especially when thousands of artists who uploaded have died before AI existed.
This!. This!!. This!!!. A thousand times this.
Digital ID for social media does not make anyone safer. It creates a searchable, linkable record of everything you say, connected to your real identity. It is meant to discourage people from speaking freely.
When governments restrict VPNs, they are deciding which parts of the internet you can access, even though you pay for that access.
You do not need privacy because you have something to hide. You need it because those in power are always tempted to misuse what they can observe.
Once surveillance systems are in place, the real question is not if they will be misused, but when and by whom.
It keeps telling me to share this on social media. So, sorry this is the first post I’ve done in ages
Please only donate if you feel comfortable doing so, but if you wanna share it around that would be a great kindness
