Image scanning for nudes 🤝 digital ID checks

This will affect everyone. All adults will have to hand over their ID to turn off the blocks on their phone.

But the scanning software will hang around. Something that could end up being used to censor much more.

- What crime, do you have any proof?

How and Why to Fight Back Against #SocialMedia Bans

Several U.S. states are pushing to ban young people from social media entirely. This marks the latest wave of #censorship bills masquerading as “children’s online safety” measures, with states like #Massachusetts , #Idaho , #Minnesota , #NorthCarolina , #SouthCarolina , #Illinois , and EFF’s home state of #California leading the charge.

Just a few years ago, lawmakers supporting age-gating laws insisted their efforts were narrowly targeted at limiting young people’s access to adult content.

The Office of Management and Budget (#OMB) proposed regulation changes would give political appointees complete control over federal grants, from vetting to termination at any point for any reason, and that's just the beginning. I’s critical that as many public comments are submitted as possible by the July 13th deadline: https://www.regulations.gov/document/OMB-2026-0034-0001.
