Improving safety or a slippery slope into censorship?

Free speech advocates argue that simple verification on the interenet is a fool's effort and worry the increasing adoption of internet age-gate laws will enable the censorship of a broad range of information in the name of protecting kids from online harm.

They also worry these types of laws will allow tech behemoths to actively surveil users' actions and ultimately make the internet more exploitative rather than safer. https://www.wired.com/story/age-verification-is-sweeping-the-us-activists-are-fighting-back/ #Internet #AgeGate #AgeVerification #Privacy #DataPrivacy #DemocraticFreedom #FirstAmendment #DigitalRights #OnlineSafety #Security

Can it not be supposed they will continue to do that while there is value in bankrolling the corporate gaming of democracy? #DemocracyGamed #Bankruptcy #Bankrolling #Liberty #Justice #FreedomForWhom #EqualRights #EcocideEmpire #EndFascistCults #MobDemocracy #EndingTheFinanceOfIdeologicalHate #EndingTheTotalitarianWorldOrder #DemocraticFreedom ?
The Bankers Who Hijacked the French Revolution

How Geneva’s money men turned church land into paper, wrecked it, and built a central bank in its place

If voting counts, the people should not only know what kind of democracies they can vote for, but have the right to vote for them! Two party democracy is gamed so capitalism always tends to fascism; only the party that sells out to the rights of corporate interests can ever win! Prove it is not so, that the rights of the people’s interests have any value? #Democracy #RiggedElections #VotingRights #VotingChoices #DemocraticFreedom #MobDemocracy #CorporateDemocracy
@skykiss Trump and Putin represent the mob as do many other heads of Earth’s governments. Most are bought and paid for by the ultra rich CEOs (aka oligarchs). Even on pain of death, their totalitarian world order can no longer sustain Empires, as is the evidence from the use of tariffs for extortion and the finance of terror to steal and destroy the people’s resources. The only viable future is its total collapse so an ethically sustainable morality can end their corruption. If so, it is necessary to end the corporate sovereignty that the ultras interests depend on. Republic sovereignty, as in democratic rights for diverse interests can be built upon a just and equitable foundation for their Federation. At the moment fewer and fewer live well, while more endure poverty, starvation, disease, terror and war. The people’s choice, is allow the ultras programme of ecocide to continue to end with biosphere collapse or end their abuse of capital! #EndMobRule #DemocraticFreedom
@JMarkOckerbloom Is there not a great irony in the Declaration of declaring Independence from absolute tyranny? Certainly doublespeak for a Prime Directive, to not interfere and not deny the rights of other Nations, but doing exactly that! #TreasonousTrump #IndependenceDay #MobRule #EcocideEmpires #OligarchsCults #CelebrityDeathCults #MobTerror #TransactionalRacketeering #DemocraticFreedom #SavageEmpires #CivilRights
