Beyond the Façade: Unpacking the Global Age Verification Agenda

The debate surrounding age verification and digital privacy has become a highly contentious issue across the US, UK, and EU. It has simultaneously emerged as a significant topic of discussion, reflecting the broader influence of transnational lobbies and their potential to shape global policy agendas. Such coordination suggests that the motivations behind these legislative efforts might extend beyond the noble cause of protecting children, potentially serving as a gateway to increased surveillance under the guise of safety.

Либертарианский призыв убрать государство из сети породил «Калифорнийскую идеологию».
Парадокс в том, что свобода обернулась диктатурой Big Tech. Вакуум власти заполнили корпорации, создав «цифровой феодализм». Теперь вместо законов — алгоритмы, а вместо граждан — цифровые крепостные, платящие за доступ своими данными.

Spannende Recherchearbeit von #Ok_Lingonberry3296 :

Er hat Spenden in Höhe von 2 Mrd. USD. und #Lobbying-Unterlagen aus 45 Bundesstaaten untersucht, um herauszufinden, wer hinter den US-Gesetzesentwürfen zur #Altersverifizierung steckt.

Rate mal wem das Thema so viel Geld wert ist!

Warum das relevant ist und warum der europäische Ansatz wesentlich besser ist (alles auf Englisch) ..

Starting April 1 (if this isn't a massive joke), Russian infrastructure is reportedly ready to disconnect from the global internet. Like many others, I don't know what will happen next, so I'm currently backing up some distros and data from my overseas servers.

If I disappear for a while, you'll know why. Stay safe.
