Droppie [opensoc]all criticisms of this insane "age verification" shitfuckery are absolutely justified, given its trojan horse transparency for the use of techbros & rwnj govts. articles pointing this out are not my beef. my repeat whinges in this space are the general tone of all such articles i've seen & critiqued lately is simply that all cesspit media IS all social media, everything is algorithmic & centralised, there is no escape. all fediversers know this is a lie, & its constant promulgation drives me nuts. directly related to this, specifically for kids themselves, is the plaintive journalistic voice that marginalised kids once banned from "s/m" [actually c/m], will ipso facto have no vehicle to find their tribes. i would agree that would be evil... except... again... the fediverse exists!
yep i noticed that, & agree it's prolly secret code for fediverse, but... making it so subtle as to be unintelligible to cesspit-media victims who think they have no options, is silly stupid.
sorry for grumpy tone. tis just... waves broadly at everything...
