Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age.
They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.
we're all rightfully angry about KOSA, but let's not forget that the FCC also wants to force everyone to show an ID to buy a cell phone plan. remember, the US is a country where ID isn't necessary to buy a gun
I know you all are seeing this, I’m telling you as someone who calls often, it is SO EASY, you call, you confirm who you are speaking with, (aka right state and that they are your senator) and you tell them you want them to vote no, saying you don’t want your ID at risk. GO DO IT
Wow.
So the KIDS Act that the House is voting on soon creates a new federal agency that gets to decide how age verification and digital ID works.
No congressional vote needed anymore. Whoever the Republicans & Trump choose to sit on this agency dictate how the internet works.
BTW if this passes the internet is as good as dead, your privacy will disappear and anything you say on it will be used against you despite free speech
Congress is scrambling right now to pass online identity checks to use the internet—just like we’re seeing in places like the UK—before anyone realizes what they’re doing.
They’re using “protecting kids” as their excuse, but it’s really about spying on and controlling Americans!
you only feel like it's gotten so bad so fast because you weren't aware of the long, drawn out fight over the course of years to prevent laws like KOSA from passing. this has been happening before COVID. you are just now aware of it.
🚨🚨🚨
KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE
It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship.

I ACTUALLY GUESSED RIGHT, its AI slop directly integrated into your HARDWARE (on an OS level) NOBODY asked for this, all we wanted was affordable graphics cards and better CPUs, instead you STABBED the consumer market in the back, this isn't for Gamers—its for AI Data Centers.
I will NEVER buy another Nvidea product again so long as I live (full AMD/Radeon at this point) stop trying to make AI "a thing" and stop trying to shove it down our throats, when the trillions being poured into AI finally pops (Dotcom Bubble 2.0), I hope you go bankrupt.
The joke here is that Discord is doing this anyway, maybe even starting in June. Groups like NCOSE have been targeting Discord for years (surprise surprise that a pedo supporter like Paxton supports them). None of this is about protecting kids.
