@ledarsidorna_se Röstade rödgrönt och tidö i olika valnivåer, tycker det du skriver här är självklart, det ska vi kräva att alla partier ser till att följa. Vill också tillföra: inga skulder hos kronofogden ej förekommande i brottsregister senaste 5 åren.

Hatar att behöva skriva det på näsan, men på förekommen anledning:

När somalisk parlamentarism möter svensk demokrati och den svenska vallagstiftningen uppstår såväl friktion som synergieffekter.

Finns inget rasistiskt i det konstaterandet.

Men det som inträffat aktualiserar flera reformer i den svenska medborgarlagstiftningen. Där vi bör anamma en tillämpning på den amerikanska:

- Varje statsminister och samtliga statsråd får inte ha något annat medborgarskap än svenskt och skall vara födda i Sverige (jfr vad som gäller för amerikansk president och vicepresident).
- Först efter fem års medborgarskap är du valbar till kommunfullmäktige.
- Först efter sju års medborgarskap är du valbar till regionfullmäktige.
- Först efter nio års medborgarskap är du valbar till riksdagen.

I USA gäller sju år till representanthus och nio år till senaten. Dessa spärrar kom till eftersom USA i grunden historiskt är en "stat av migranter" eller "stat av nationaliteter". Som garant för att amerikanska intressen skall sättas först.

Sverige är idag en statsbildning med stora migrantgrupper och måste, anser jag, anpassa sin demokrati efter detta.

Finns inget rasistiskt i detta utan det är en normal naturaliseringsprocess. Samt garant för att du som förtroendevald vet vad ämbetet innebär.

Pingar in @andreasostgote @moderaterna @liberalerna @kdriks @sdriks @RedarLawen @TeresaCarvalho @magdandersson.

Ordna detta så slipper vi mycket av de problem som Borlänge-valet resulterade i.

Jag har inga politiska ambitioner, bara gör som jag säger så blir allt som det ska.

@idagabrielsson V och andra partier måste nu också se över samtliga likartade kryssraketer med samma lupp, och besvara samma frågor till oss väljare som man nu behöver göra. Bästa utfallet av detta blir bättre kontroller och krav på listorna i framtida val, för alla partier.

Ursula von der Leyen announced this week that everyone in the EU must use the official EU age verification app to verify their age before they can log into or post on social media and other digital services.

As an expert in online child safety, I'm here to expose the disinformation in each von der Leyen's statements. See below.

🇪🇺 The EU Kids Act is a pretext designed to enforce mandatory digital identity verification on everyone in Europe. The proposed legislation applies to any digital service featuring feeds, user generated content, or messaging:

Social media networks, video platforms, online gaming services, AI tools, and media streaming apps like Spotify. (@TimSweeneyEpic)

Under the proposal, digital services must enforce age restrictions across strict tiers. Tech companies must mandate age verification across all accounts to enforce these tiers legally.

When Australia introduced its social media ban, the government conceded it failed because platform level age checks weren’t reliable. They now reject age estimation as inadequate and shifted to demanding "robust" age checking.

💡 If you eliminate every unproven estimation method, you’re left with exactly 1 functional mechanism: identity verification. There's not other way to ensure age checking is "robust".

No government wants to admit citizens must prove their real identity just to access apps and basic streaming services like Spotify, so they hide behind the ambiguous phrase "robust age checking". This language is now used across Australia, the US, and Ireland to mandate identity checks while avoiding the public backlash of calling it what it is. I will research to see where else it’s being used.

Below is what Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament in Strasbourg along with my analsyis:

🇪🇺 "Today, much of this power has been taken out of the hands of parents... What our children need is time... But when a child has a smartphone, all of this is taken away."

💡 This framing falsely presents smartphones as uncontrollable. Apple and Google built free OS controls into iOS and Android settings, covering virtually every smartphone on the market.

These controls achieve every legitimate safety objective without collecting personal data or processing state credentials.

💡 Millions of parents use these parental controls to enforce screen time curfews, block app installations, and restrict communication.

💡 These settings operate at the device level. Teens can't bypass them when protected with a passcode.

To bypass this technical reality, the European Commission uses public grief to shut down logical analysis:

🇪🇺 "Day and night, parents see the costs, loss of sleep, anxiety, even self-harm, and in a growing number of cases, even fatal tragedies… a 14-year-old girl living in Belgium who took her life exactly one month ago, victim of bullying online... Honourable members, enough is enough."

💡 Citing personal tragedies replaces software engineering facts with emotional rhetoric. State laws and age gates don’t alter human behaviour or prevent online harassment. Regulators exploit grief to pass surveillance legislation without explaining how the underlying software mechanisms operate.

The Commission outlines specific age tiers to restrict access:

🇪🇺 "In sum, no social media under the age of 13. No personal account under the age of 15. That means from 13 to under 15, only mini accounts set up and supervised by parents or guardians with limited features and time restriction to one hour a day. And between 15 and 18, safe design will be an obligation for the platforms."

💡 Enforcing age tiers forces tech companies and service providers to rebuild their architecture around total access control. The must disable self-service account creation, purge unverified accounts, build supervised parental workflows, strip algorithmic feeds, and enforce strict session cutoffs.

💡 Social networks operate on open interaction algorithms that inherently expose people to unvetted content. Because software can’t dynamically filter these risks for minors, tech companies must block access for everyone until a person proves their real identity.

💡 It’s not just about social networks. They want the same bans for almost everything, including games and stream services. Even Spotify because it’s possible for customers to message people.

The Commission claims its proposed zero knowledge proof app protects personal privacy:

🇪🇺 "Age will be verified using EU certified tools like our age verification app. This app is built on zero knowledge proof. That means that the platform only learns one single thing, and that's whether you're old enough to allow access or not."

💡 This framing describes what an app or service receives while hiding what everyone must give up. A zero knowledge proof provides a mathematical confirmation, but that confirmation requires an authoritative issuer. Before the app generates a proof, a state approved entity must verify the person's real identity.

The Commission frames this shift as a victory against tech corporations:

🇪🇺 "I am aware that many perceive the power of Big Tech as overwhelming and impossible to roll back. I disagree... So we do not accept this. We are reversing the burden of proof. Now platforms will have to prove to us that they are safe. Because this is not about our minors accessing social media. It is about when and how we allow social media to access our minors."

💡 Social networks don’t access children; parents hand smartphones to children. Reversing the burden of proof forces everyone to verify their identity.

The European Commission confirmed the broader scope of this mandate:

🇪🇺 "We also know that not only minors are at risk. Addictive design, for example, are harming everyone. This is why we need a wider framework too, the Digital Fairness Act that we will propose in autumn."

🚨 Child safety is merely the initial wedge. The Digital Fairness Act expands state mandated identity verification to adults across all online services. Binding real identities to online activity permanently eliminates pseudonymous access, private communication, and democratic accountability.

🚨 Senior state officials and regulators know their demands have nothing to do with child safety. They work closely with tech companies and understand that iOS and Android already provide complete authority to restrict devices locally without collecting personal data. State officials deliberately ignore well established parental controls because they keep internet access under family control. Child safety is a public pretext.

🚨 Governments and regulators use child safety to establish mandatory identity verification across every app and digital service, eliminating online anonymity. When tech companies and state agencies link every social media post, private message, search term, geographic location, and financial transaction to a verified identity, they create a permanent digital dossier on every citizen with a global social graph that makes Cambridge Analytica look like a 2nd grade school science project.

💡 Binding people’s identity to daily activity enables predictive behavioural modelling too. By feeding identity data into automated predictive AI, governments, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and tech companies move beyond surveillance past behaviour. They can map political affiliations, predict individual actions, flag dissent before it occurs, and control public opinion at scale. Eliminating online anonymity ends free speech, private communication, and democratic accountability.

As Larry Ellison stated at Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting in 2024:

"Citizens will be on their best behaviour, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on".

🙏🏻 Share this to expose how governments use child safety as a false pretext to force mandatory digital identity verification on everyone.

@arlogilbert @theSiliconSiren @Synology Would say friction for any power user with macos is crazy. Third party brew installs, containers has to be run in vm, nonstandard file system, no dual boot, non standard shortcuts def, add creditcard instantly, sucky fileexplorer, cant os in vm without license and on and on.

@theSiliconSiren @Synology Slowly bugfixing upstreams, at times propose new takes is the right way . A 1000 papercuts, yes, but slow and steady fixing wins.

@AndrThemistocl1 I blocked about 200 users screaming AI, and fascists , often together. After that my social media flows are quite calm. So i think much is a mob and roughly the same vocal ones, passing from project to project.
