Start of the week. KOSA has been stalled, other mass surveillance bills are being proposed/passed every day, and the UK is infiltrating the US to push for age checking.
Call [(202) 224-3121]/write (badinternetbills) to your senator to vote NO, & remember we have midterms in Nov.
I hope everyone realizes how scary this situation is
Take-Two is going to people's physical address and putting pressure on people that haven't even posted leaks
Digital ID is helping this right now. Also Rockstar running their reputation into the ground by doing this
ID age verification is spreading FAST all across the world, and especially in the United States. Don't let these corrupt politicians harvest your biometric data
IMPORTANT NEWS:
Take-Two managed to get court approval to pull personal info (emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs, and more) from 100K Discord users. This is including DarkViperAU’s 90K member server as well. Thanks to recent GTA 6 leaks
People completely uninvolved are getting their privacy breached
Even those talking about the leaks on X with just text are at risk
Reminder this means once they have your information. Theres no guarantee it'll be safe or deleted. This is why these companies want Digital ID
21 States are trying to push age verification laws thanks to British involvement. We have DISCORD shutting down Real Time Video Chat in countries and PlayStation forcing age verification in AU. These companies and governments want the death of privacy https://t.co/VsfKdAHhgT
We lost against Crunchyroll today. The death of physical media is incoming and with Sony owning a monopoly on anime entering into the West. This is only going to get worse. They even bought a company just to kill off their competition. https://t.co/6QronCHCXt
>Buys Rightstuf that was their competition
>Kills off the brand to fuse it into Crunchyroll
>Shutdowns most of selling of Merchandise after they killed their competition
How is this even legal
Didn't even take 24-hours to prove I was right about the Brazil situation.
If you think this is just a California issue you are mistaken
Theres a big active push from a lot of states to implement a version of this
New York's SAFE for Kids Act will create a digital ID infrastructure under the banner of “protecting kids.”
The bill was passed in 2024, but final rules were announced last month. SAFE for Kids restricts algorithmic feeds for minors, but to enforce it, platforms must first determine which users are adults.
According to the rules, possible methods include ID, photo/video analysis, or cross-checking email addresses and phone numbers against age-related information.
It’s not just a rule for children...this will apply to every user....age-screening system for everyone who wants ordinary social media features.
Strangely, the rules require the platform to obtain a minor’s approval before it can even seek parental consent...so the child effectively controls whether the parent is brought into the process at all.🤔
The final rules take effect January 25, 2027.
Never bend the knee to those that want you silenced or dead
Their goal is to control you and you to self-censor yourself. When they no longer have power over you, it makes them violently angry
Those animals will never be able to be reasoned with. Don't try to make them happy
Unfortunately, this isn’t a good thing. The government doesn’t give a shit about protecting kids
Their “investigation” will just lead to more ID verification laws being passed
