To exist online in 10 years, you're going to have to give a random company a face scan and photo ID and they're going to give that and everything you post to the government to spy on you for being queer, left-wing, "a criminal," or whatever. None of your data or communications will be private. The government and corporations will go through all of it.

If you don't want that to happen, you should raise a stink about "age verification" right now because that's what they're actually building.

Using IRC over i2p or Tor is how this ends.

Start learning how to use IRC now, so that you can use it over Tor later.

TheLounge or Convos are easy ways to start

#irc #i2p #tor

@lil5 @gwynnion The usage of Tor or hell, anything non-central will just be criminalized instead. There are already jurisdictions where it is, formally or not.

China, Iran still has problems blocking access to tor via snowflake.

ln the UK: ID verification is only a legal problem for those attempting to host websites, not those attempting to access them.

@lil5 @navi @gwynnion that they can't effectively block it doesn't stop them calling you an enemy of the state for using it.

Thats why people need to start using IRC now instead of us quabling about which protocol to use later.
