Реально, ребят, не угробьте. Мне лично вообще побарабану, кто будет владельцем – хоть Люцифер (это каламбур). Главное, чтобы не останавливалось.

California lawmakers are fast-tracking A.B. 1709—a sweeping bill that would ban anyone under 16 from using social media and force every user, regardless of age, to verify their identity before accessing social platforms.

Being “gen-x” means I grew up with a version of the Internet that’s very different from what people experience today.

Adding dissent into the mix is, in their eyes, not acceptable.
"Pax Americana" is over, the Peace Dividend is over, and now the open internet, is also over.

For decades, it has thrived on decentralization, anonymity, and the ability for individuals to interact without constant oversight. But now, with New York’s proposed bill S08102A, that freedom is under serious threat. This is not a minor tweak or a simple safety measure. It is a sweeping, invasive attempt to embed a device-level […]
