🚨 @politico reveals Meta is launching a campaign to "shame" competitors like YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat into adopting its exact same age-gating terms.
This isn't a victory for online safety. It is the beginning corporate-led push to build a de facto age assurance cartel, opening the floodgates for mass biometric data harvesting.

I believe the opposite.
As your wealth increases, I think you should dress a certain way and buy certain things, as doing so employs tailors, artists, and craftspeople. These trades are dying from a lack of patronage.
In the past, these trades flourished under wealthy patrons who valued beauty and craftsmanship, sometimes producing things that benefited the broader public, such as creating beautiful libraries and museums. Today's elites seem more interested in optimizing their health and wealth, pursuits largely confined to themselves.
A tailor who makes clothes for wealthy clients has a steady stream of income. In doing so, they can also take on side projects, such as making clothes for films and theatre. Without the first, they risk going out of business, and the public consequently suffers.
I don't have any qualms about doing this bc true posters know that you use entirely different parts of your brain to post vs to text someone. and real friends understand this and are cool about it I think.. anyway please don't argue with me because I don't care what you think
Notice how Anthropic subtly passes the buck here by saying “its technology” submitted the false tip
Anthropic wants people to accept that “Claude” is conscious because that allows Anthropic to shift the blame for **Anthropic’s** actions
This is what people need to understand. This isn’t new. None of this is ‘just happening’. The problem is that Black and Indigenous people have been so dehumanized that their public state sponsored murders don’t count as violence.
They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.
quick reminder for every single time the Democrats say that they're powerless without a Senate supermajority: every goal the GOP has accomplished since Teddy Roosevelt left office has been accomplished without the GOP having a Senate supermajority
This guy felt Jimmy Kimmel was morally corrosive but now defers when it’s time to livestream an execution. You can’t quantify this level of gutlessness. Evil.
No generation long study required.
We’ve allowed a neurotropic, brain-damaging virus to repeatedly infect the global population for 6.5 years.
SARS-CoV-2 disproportionately affects the frontal lobes.
Those who had low empathy & morality before, have even less now.
