Oh No! Now A Federal Bill Wants OS-Level Age Verification for Everyone in the USA

If passed, the bill would apply across the U.S., unlike the state-level laws already around.

It took me about 4 years to get from "#Google is evil and its user experience is total shit" and buying an iPhone, to "#Apple is just as evil and its user experience is even worse" and looking for a used Android phone that I can install /e/os or Graphene on.

But they’ll only use it on “illegal immigrants,” right? 🙄🤬

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just inked a $12.2 million contract for an artificial intelligence tool that claims to map out immigrants’ daily routines, habits, and real-time location and categorize them as potential threats, per procurement records reviewed by the Lever.”

Looks like a class action suit to me - a real one this time, with the kind of fine that will put them out of business & prison time for responsible execs.

Technofascism will not stop itself. It stops when somebody stops it.
