I mean *I* see a lot of people voting against putting up a network of cameras that (per DHS/ICE/PIA-039(b)) MUST provide their information to the $30B/year modern Gestapo and also MUST NOT tell the public or any other law enforcement about how they're using the data.
Look, NCOSE really really just wants you to tell your kids that they should take videos of themselves and upload them to random internet websites so an AI can guess their age.
It's common sense.
"The age-verification requirement is rationally related to the government's legitimate interest in preventing minors' access to pornography." That's exactly the point. Children deserve meaningful protections online, and courts continue to recognize that requiring age checks before accessing sexually explicit content is a reasonable safeguard. NCOSE will keep fighting for policies that put kids first.

2024: "Dear Google, my child is 11 years old today."
EXACTLY TWO YEARS LATER: "hOw DId THeY kNoW mY kiD tUrNeD 13 tODay??"
C'mon, man, I just want to check Formula 1 news today, I don't need to be banging my head against my desk this hard.
Oh c'mon, Matt! This would mean that Google already knows the precise age of its users—a claim the company denies to avoid AV regulations. Are you suggesting that it could be lying to its users, legislators, and courts? No way!
Dems should introduce legislation defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave MN. One sentence bill. Demand immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding (or other) bills until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.
I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.
I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.
Impeach and remove Trump—now.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
I had a few paragraphs written up about the event that unfolded this morning, but realized that at this point there's no room for argument. In fact, all sensible arguments have likely been exasperated. So I leave it with this:
If you aren't sickened by the events that took place today, please unfollow me. No hard feelings.
I have always avoided talking about politics on this account. But this is my breaking point. I can't say nothing while ICE is going around executing people in broad daylight in my city, blocks from where I live.
They murdered a second person this morning. And I don't want to hear for a second that "he had a gun." Republicans' entire thing is about being pro-2A, that people have the right to be armed against a tyrannical government. Now a textbook example of government tyranny unfolds before you and your immediate response is to take their side? It makes no sense.
There were at least 7 federal agents on top of that man. IF he was armed, the video appears to show that he was disarmed before the shots were fired. There is absolutely zero justification for his killing. This is yet another example of these ICE agents being untrained, hate-filled escalators who are seeking out this kind of violence. They aren't making our community safer, they're making it 1000 times more dangerous.
Everyone can agree that violent criminals, of all backgrounds, should be prosecuted and jailed. A conversation can be had about immigration policy. But this isn't working. This has to stop. ICE has to get out of Minneapolis.
If a Democratic president sent masked, armed agents into red states for political retribution and murdered a licensed nurse and lawful gun owner, Republicans would be demanding impeachment and prosecution for everyone involved.
New video shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.
I really wish I could talk F1 now, but one side of my family fought against the British in the 1770s, and the other side escaped Mussolini's Blackshirts in the 1930s.
Fuck fascists. And fuck @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer for making Neville Chamberlain look like a real fighter.
I'm basically never here anymore unless I'm looking for weird college football or F1 news, but know that if you're a verified account created during the 2020s I've already muted you.
