@roboteatingsoup@GuntherEagleman It's the online equivalent to flock cameras. Force everyone to "age verify" aka do KYC compliance just to use social media.
@MarshaBlackburn Proof of age is proof of identity. The settlement means Instagram will now need to see papers before you can use it.
You're cheering on mass surveillance infrastructure.
"Social media is as bad as drugs and alcohol" yeah well I've tried both:
Social media gave me community, friends, purpose, a way to express myself, work opportunities, access to information, and access to mental health sources.
Alcohol has not.
This is a crappy comparison.
@InundatdPatriot@AGAlanWilson See, they saw people sealclap when it came to adult sites. They're using the FSC v. Paxton precedent as a template.
Once you set a precedent, this kind of infrastructure always expands. You'll soon see just how "incidental" the burden of losing your privacy is.
You just made the case that inanimate objects kill kids like guns. So internet websites and apps kill kids. Same as guns do, right? Do you know how stupid you are?
HELL NAW. Repealing Section 230 would lead to a mass wave of censorship by platforms to avoid liability for what their users do.
Every account would need a background check similar to Enhanced Due Diligence because they would be afraid of getting sued otherwise.
Thank you, @NewYorkStateAG, for leading on this fight.
It’s on Congress to enact sweeping changes in law — a ban on social media for kids and a repeal of section 230 that gives Meta and the rest of them a free pass for incalculable harms.
Grifter influencer.

Keep in mind that this guy is a mass surveillance supporter who spends every waking moment “Schilling” ID verification laws
He’s a sheep that blindly pushes Digital ID
"Nevertheless, few people are talking about the free speech and privacy implications of the settlement — including for adults, who are on the fast track to having to verify their identity before accessing vast swaths of the internet, including this website."
This settlement — and the litigation that led to it — was effectively a backdoor effort by the government to mandate age verification. It succeeded.
Now Meta is pressuring TikTok and YouTube to voluntarily adopt the same requirements and restrictions found in its settlement.
It’s hard to know whether that pressure stems from genuine concern for kids or Meta’s own bottom line. Some of the restrictions it agreed to could put it at a competitive disadvantage unless its rivals follow suit.

It just so happens that earlier this week I hosted a @freespeechtalk debate on this very topic, where we also touched on the AG’s lawsuit against Meta:
The moral panic about porn also blazed the trail for requiring some form of identification or biometrics to exist online.
They started with porn sites because they knew people would seal clap. Now having an instagram account will require some form of ID.
1. Create an entire society that is hostile to young men so they have no real hope or prospects.
2. Single out tried and true context-independent popular activities among males.
3. Attribute the bad state of young men to said popular activities with zero logical justification.
4. Screech like a moral panicking inbred retard.
5. Refuse to do anything about #1 to help young men so that you can recycle the same braindead garbage narrative forever.
Your faggotry is rivaled only by your cowardice.
@DuffJuice30 Which means digital iD, because in order to protect kids, you need to know who is a kid.
That means all adults must line up and present their papers.
