AlexFuck #ChatControl and #agecheck.
Today, March 17th, the ECA Digital (read: mandatory age verification online) takes effect in Brazil.
Sad day.

.:\dGh/:.I see the #California #AB1043 law as a troyan horse for #OpenSource support.
All "OS providers" should have in their license that its use under California law should be prohibed...
...and offer a paid license to cover maintaining the API for #AgeCheck. Make Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Oracle pay for using #Linux.
I can fucking guarantee you they'll lobby the hell out of the law the moment they are forced to pay something out of their books.
N-gated Hacker NewsIllinois' latest brainwave is an OS-level age check that's as useful as a chocolate teapot 🍫☕. They're convinced that toggling #JavaScript and #cookies is a high-tech gateway to maturity 🍪🔞. Ah, the cutting-edge #innovation of 1998! 🙄

Age checks on operating systems, which "pedophile America" wants to impose on all PCs, have a fundamental problem: the motive behind them. They claim these checks are necessary to protect children from predators, but when the state is the predator, how secure is a system that verifies a minor via facial recognition, only to collect their address, biometric data, and IP address?
All this to "protect" children from the same pedophiles the American pedophile government is shielding by hiding the Epstein files and the biggest predators within its walls.
They say that surveillance is necessary, they want to monitor our phones and computers to catch pedophiles, but they have millions of files full of pedophiles that they refuse to arrest...
Open your eyes, none of this makes any sense.

History teaches us the FBI is pretty good tracing people running manual DDoS attacks. To actually pull this off without getting busted, you'd need some angry engineers
There are plenty right now. With Google forcing mandatory verification and closing AOSP, many open-source devs feel cornered. They'd be the perfect candidates to slip a 'Trojan horse' right into their apps on the stores, maybe hidden inside a compromised open-source library. Devs could claim they just 'imported a library' without knowing it was poisoned
It's a supply chain attack: plausible deniability for the coders too. Users would just be 'victims' of malware, so no one gets arrested and age check and chat control will be unusable
I'm not an engineer though, so maybe I'm missing something. Just a thought for more elevated minds..

I see people thinking Linux or GrapheneOS will bypass chat control or age check. As seen with Ubuntu&CA's AB 1043, laws target OS providers. An "illegal" OS won't work: apps and browsers will demand the mandatory age signal, or the OS itself might block access to avoid fines. VPNs? Useless when USA, EU, and Canada etc enforce agechecks globally
If this madness passes, let's fight back and turn every device into a weapon of digital disobedience. Imagine an 'outlaw' OS mod appending a 'payload of forbidden words' (hidden in metadata) to every message
If millions sent these 'poisoned' messages, Chat Control would collapse under false positives
Risk: Could they brick our phones? Yes. But if millions get blocked simultaneously? Instant economic blackout. It's Mutually Assured Destruction: they can't ban everyone.
If everything is suspicious, nothing is
They scan for pedophiles but ignore #EpsteinFiles

I've got an alternative idea if this madness actually goes through and we can't find a solution to circumvent it legally or not....
Instead of just running, let's turn every single phone into a weapon of digital disobedience.Imagine if an 'outlaw' OS (or a simple mod) automatically appended a 'bag of forbidden words' to every message, hidden in metadata or invisible text, containing a random mix of terms guaranteed to trigger the system.
If millions of people sent billions of these 'poisoned' messages, Chat Control would collapse under the sheer weight of false positives. It would be the biggest DDoS attack in history, powered purely by civil disobedience......
If everything is suspicious, nothing is.
