Seriously, #discord's "#AgeVerification" is so trivial to bypass that this would not hold up as "robust age verification" in any juristiction.
So yeah like #NoTextToSpeech says and I've said all the time:
#KYC IS the #IllicitActivity!
And it's only fair to #bypass #cyberfascist shite if you don't want to #selfd0x to a company close to #Palantir!
Because "#YouthProtection" is just their #figleaf and #FalsePretense to introduce #CyberFascism which WILL BE USED to further #TransGenocide and #QueerGenocide through invisibility.

"US to screen for āanti-Americanismā in immigration applications"
Feels like "Americanism" here is a fig leaf for something.

People applying to live or work in the United States will now be screened for āanti-Americanism,ā including having their social media checked, authorities announced on Tuesday, in a tightening of restrictions that has alarmed immigration advocates and lawyers.
The situation in #LosAngeles, #California is a new one. #Trump has called up the CA #NationalGuard, not another #stateās guard. So thereās no #FigLeaf despite the fact that both the #mayor & the #governor have objected to the action.
This SHOULD make the act illegal acc/to the #PosseComitatusAct without the express invocation of the #InsurrectionAct.
The fig leaf Trump is attempting to employ is the assertion that the guard will only be protecting #federal personnel & property.
That right is meaningless if the #president can simply approach a different #governor & ask her to deploy her stateās #NationalGuard into the unwilling governorās #state. In this scenario, the cooperating governor becomes a #FigLeaf for the president to use the #military as a #police force anywhere in the country, free from the constraints of the #PosseComitatusAct.

The case before Judge Burroughs was filed after #KristiNoem revoked #Harvard's #SEVP certification to enroll non-US #students.
In announcing the decision, Noem, without providing #evidence, accused the #university of "fostering violence, antisemitism, & coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party." [#FigLeaf]
