🚨 For anyone tracking the under-16 social media bans in Canada and the UK, you might have noticed the government suddenly walking back some specific wording.
They backed off forcing you to upload credit cards or facial scans because of the public backlash, and now they’re pushing a "backend token system". It sounds less intrusive on the surface, but here is the truth about what that actually means, because most people are being completely misled by that marketing:
A cryptographic token isn't a magic, anonymous poker chip. To work, a token has to be anchored to something verified. That means your physical device, your phone carrier contract, or your real identity is permanently tethered to that token.
Every single time your phone throws that token to let you log into an app, it logs exactly who you are, where you are, and what you're doing.
It isn't a privacy shield to protect kids. It's a digital passport that tracks an adult's every move across the internet.
@TheDunkCentral@TommyBeer Billionaire hates mayor whose loyalty he cannot buy. In other shocking developments, the sun rose in the east today, more news at 11.
@ruyhg165013@d34dvibes I'm like 98% sure she can. I romanced her on a Resist Durge run recently, and I'm fairly sure when they return in the epilogue that Minty talks about a nice break from all the politics and fighting of their joint resistance against Lolth's followers.
@JakerBrahney Yeah, not sure if it would be considered in bad taste, but I'd really love if the team brought in someone new to take his shoes. Just such an iconic part of Cleveland baseball, it's sad not having it anymore.
@shuddupmeg Yeah they're massive. They've got whole clothing sections and stuff in there 😂. But if you need to stop and one is nearby, they're worth the trip. Lots of good food, fresh and non perishable.
@FranmilsEyebrow Yeah, when they do a good job of hiding the unlicensed stuff, I think Panini cards can look amazing. And they get some great patches a lot of the time
