🚨BREAKING: #Anthropic demands your ID to unlock the mystical powers of #ClaudeAI. 🙄 Because nothing screams "trust us" like handing over your personal info to a company named after a philosophical concept. 🧠🔒

#wsocial the self-styled #EU X, minus the #fascism? Well you start seeing what #techsovereignty will mean if we fedi people stand by: another information control tool, with a #MEGA acronym.
One overview article caught my attention https://goodtech.info/c-est-quoi-w-social-reseau-at-protocol-europe-x/ with this buried in the middle "access to Wsocial requires #IDverification". OK, nuff said for me, it's almost like the protocol is a secondary consideration.

W Social : le concurrent européen de X débarque (avec pas mal de mystères)

W Social promet un espace sans bots grâce à une vérification d'identité stricte. Mais derrière l'engouement de l'UE, le passage au closed-source pose question.

☀️ Morning everyone,
With the news on the UK's "Phase 2" of the Online Safety Act rolling out, my focus has shifted heavily. Today's tasks are all about digital resilience and decentralization:

👉 Boosting Alternative Networks: I have to push Solent.Social and the broader Fediverse much harder.

👉 Learn New Systems: Exploring alternative platforms, as the upcoming round of strict ID verification rules will likely lock out or restrict access to mainstream spaces like TikTok and YouTube (So maybe looking at PeerTube and Loops).

👉 Content Redundancy: Pushing further into content creation while simultaneously building digital backups on alternative, self-hosted or federated systems like PeerTube or just uploading it directly to Solent.Social

👉 Alternative Comms: Researching Discord alternatives (hoping Fluxer has finally got its decentralized architecture live).


There is an immense amount of work to do before these highly invasive "safety" systems are fully implemented.

At this stage, bringing friends and family over to safer, independent digital spaces isn't just a preference, It’s a necessity! No one should be subject to this level of blanket surveillance. It treats people as criminals right out the gate and company greed causes them to harvest our personal data even further to train AI Models to replace us. This is all getting ridiculous.

UK to require ID or face scan before you can make social media accounts

UK to require ID or face scan before you can make social media accounts

Opening a new social media account in the UK will soon mean proving you're over 16 with an ID upload or a facial age scan, under a government ban on under-16s taking effect in spring 2027. Security experts warn the age checks are easy to circumvent and create new data-breach risks.

Apart of the UK's new Ban on Social Media it's going to affect multiple places including YouTube.

This means UK YouTubers will most likely have to provide ID earlier than before along with anyone watching from the UK to watch content this could be the whole platform or for select content like Gaming Content, Skits and basic content with minor swearing.

There's so much uncertain with the new changes they want to make to the internet and they seem to keep on moving the goal posts. Apart of this new system they are looking to add a curfew for the internet making anyone that does provide ID to get past a certain time on the internet.... ummm I pay for my internet that should be enough.

@dansup I'm curious, With the UK's new Ban on Social Media for under 16s forcing users to most likely to have to ID verify for Instagram and other central socials (including YouTube and TikTok).

How do you think this would effect the Fediverse a whole, PixelFed, Loops and more.

(Also believe Canada is looking into a similar ban)
