@Destiny2Team@DestinyTheGame Thank you.
I spent years complaining about execs and wanting the game to be better, it's bitter sweet now, but the love and dedication for this game is palpable, what could have been without greed and tyranny leading the way - it's good to be back without apathy, to play Destiny
@Pijinnn_ My first public event in months, and someone goes around destroying all the blights… games way too old to still have people who don’t know how to make it heroic
@Destiny2Team@BungieLove If by some miracle more content gets made for this game, the armour showing skin is insanely cool and feels “right” - hope to see it outside of novelty sets 😅
@MacticsG1 While I agree, there had been a severe lack in “good” content for a very long time, the game is essentially a content roller coaster; with highs and lows. I do find it baffling that Bungie repeats the same plain to see mistakes over and over
Signal is 100% right.
The greatest trick governments ever pulled was convincing people that freedom and privacy are obstacles to safety.
What we are witnessing is not child protection. It is the construction of a surveillance architecture that will eventually monitor, profile, categorize and control every aspect of our digital lives.
Today it is age verification and content scanning, tomorrow it is digital identity, then financial monitoring, then behavioural scoring, then access to services conditioned on compliance.
The destination is not difficult to see. It is a technocratic system where every interaction is tracked, every transaction recorded, every opinion assessed and every citizen reduced to a data profile managed by governments and corporations working hand in hand.
A form of digital neo feudalism where a small unelected class controls the platforms, the infrastructure, the money and ultimately the boundaries of acceptable behaviour.
The argument that only criminals should fear surveillance is as absurd as saying only criminals need freedom of speech. Privacy is not evidence of wrongdoing, it is the foundation of human dignity, individual sovereignty and genuine liberty.
The UK government is asking citizens to accept the presumption of guilt simply to communicate online. To prove who they are, verify their age and allow their devices to inspect their content before they can participate in modern society.
History teaches us that every power granted to the state eventually expands beyond its initial mandate. The technology introduced to detect one form of content today will be used to police entirely different forms of expression tomorrow.
The choice before us is not between privacy and child protection, it is between preserving a free society, or constructing the infrastructure of a digital prison that will further enslave us.
While protecting young people from exploitation is a noble and vital goal, the PM is deliberately ignoring the terrifying reality of how his proposed policy would actually be enforced.
Companies like Apple and Google will effectively be forced to introduce state-mandated surveillance software (spyware) on every single phone, tablet and laptop in the UK.
Furthermore, because each device must know if the user is a child to block the content, this policy guarantees the roll-out of mandatory digital ID checks for the entire population, effectively killing internet privacy and online anonymity for us all.
We also must question the sudden sense of urgency and tough talk today.
Just last month, Jess Phillips resigned from the government over this exact issue, calling out Starmer for pursuing only "incremental change," and worrying more about upsetting tech bosses than protecting children.
Why the sudden pivot? It is hard to see this ultimatum as an act of genuine conviction. Instead, much like his rushed, unworkable social media ban, it looks like another desperate cynical attempt to shore up Starmer's political legacy before the looming by-election and leadership contest.
@SkyNews Gonna end up with a nation of sexually repressed deviants instead of having a healthy and educated attitude toward sex and nudity, all for the sake of digital ID. Nice. Decades of de-stigmatising and safe education down the drain, for what?
@Destiny2Team Credit where credit is due, that’s genuinely sick. I remember when I first got Destiny 1, staring at that iconic Titan image, hoping one day my uncommon geared Titan will look as cool as that, also, the D1 Titan cover art armour - hint hint 👀
@DestinyTheGame Really should’ve done this instead of Episodes and trying to launch a new Saga within D2. End on a high note instead of reputation in the gutter and multiple failed projects 🤦♂️
