Meta is dumb. Take the You back to YouTube. Constitution protects our rights despite what giant techs' TOS, and clueless politicians state. Don't tread on me

Oh.. my… god…

[Laserdisc Nerd @tntrocks]

@myretrolifeshow Even before this whole physical media drama, there's not really a lot of games that made me want a PS5 or Switch 2. Still catching up games from the last gen lol.

I might get a series X otherwise i think i'm strickly PC for modern stuff.

They say all countries are created equal.

But then you look at the United States of America, and then you look at everybody else and you know that statement ain’t true.

See, every country’s got a 50/50 chance of being the greatest at best.

But America’s not every country.

You take that 50% chance, add 250 years of freedom, multiply it by the strongest military on Earth, multiply that by millions of hard-working Americans, then add the Stars and Stripes and one bald eagle.

Now everybody else looks at that equation and they KNOW they can’t compete.

So everybody else’s 50% chance drastically goes down.

And America’s chance of being the greatest country on Earth goes up to 141 2/3%!

The numbers don’t lie. And they spell disaster for anyone who thinks they can compete with the United States of America!

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME!

🚨BREAKING: UK GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUTUBE ALGORITHM

This is pure authoritarianism

Keir Starmer's/Andy Burnham's Government is set to control the YouTube algorithm by LAW stipulating that they must push "APPROVED CONTENT" to UK Citizens

And independent voices who criticise the government will be pushed to the back of the queue making it harder for people to find

YouTube has acknowledged this is happening

This must be stopped

It’s okay to buy digital games only.

It’s okay to buy physical games only.

It’s okay to buy both.

It’s NOT okay to NOT have a choice.

This is hilarious. Have you seen other companies dragging Sony like this? Link me and we'll showcase it on this morning's show

- You can’t share, trade, or sell your games

[The Complete History of Sonic SatAM @SatamHistorian]

Recently was messaged by @Alex_Hedgefox2, former Ken Penders supporter who initially helped out on all of Ken's recent Sonic reprints... GOD, it just gets WORSE AND WORSE!

[Rep. Scott Perry @RepScottPerry]

I’m all for child safety.  I’m also all for parenting, supervising, and protecting kids – to include the two minors of my own.  This bill – HR 7757 - under the guise of “kids’ safety,” is just more government creating a vehicle for mass surveillance – ultimately leading to a digital surveillance state that leads to suppression of privacy, free speech, and punitive action against dissenting views - all under the guise of child safety. This is the first phase.  Pretty soon, everything you do will be tracked – and judged – by the government. All I hear about right now are complaints and concerns on this issue; my constituents are all for safety and protection; what they don’t support are large scale ID databases, Central Bank Digital Currency, data centers, warrantless surveillance, camera surveillance, kill switches in cars, etc.  There’s too much government in our lives and too many breaches into our privacy.

BTW – check out the “UK Online Safety Act,” passed a year ago this month in Great Britain, aimed at “keeping children from accessing adult content.” Well, surprise:  the UK’s now using it for “age verification requirements” for adults (who must upload their ID / do a facial scan) to use any social media. Worse yet, now the UK is cracking down on any dissenting views; in this case, IT apparently doesn’t like citizens’ criticism about Islamic migration overwhelming the country. Yes, they imprison people for political dissent there…

Our government ultimately will be able to attack dissenters and quash dissent.  Goodbye, First Amendment.   

I was a “NO” vote on this last night.

"Big tech just wants to connect us."

Amazon patented a device that listens for your tone to flag "irritation."
Ring shared doorbell footage with police without a warrant or consent.
Bezos owns a newspaper that shapes politics.

Connection was never the product.
Surveillance was.

[Alexis Hall @lexikodi]

The people telling you we need digital ID “to protect the children” are the same people covering for Epstein’s clients.

[Naomi Brockwell priv/acc @naomibrockwell]

This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.

Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?

Because this is about control, not children.

[Luminaire (THAC0 Gatekeeper) @ChronoLuminaire]

So let me make sure I understand this
@KenPaxtonTX

The phone I PAID FOR, on an account through the phone company I PAY FOR. With a credit card I had to SHOW ID TO ACQUIRE does not prove I am an adult? The fuck are you smoking. This isn't about protecting children this is about surveillance and censorship. FUCK OFF.

[Reclaim The Net @ReclaimTheNetHQ]

MASSIVE 6-3 SCOTUS WIN for privacy.

Geofence warrants are DEAD.

Police can no longer throw a digital dragnet around a crime scene and vacuum up EVERY phone location in the area.

The 4th Amendment applies - your movements aren’t open season just because you carried a phone.
