Every week, the Distraction Index scores political events on two axes:

1. How much constitutional damage they cause
2. How much they serve as distractions

When damage is high but coverage is low, that's a red flag.

Undercovered — Week 64 | The Distraction Index

Week 64 Undercovered: high constitutional damage events receiving disproportionately low media attention.

Age Verification and mass online de-anonymisation is the result of record spending in terms of lobbying, done by players such as Meta, other tech giants, and the Heritage Foundation.

So, #Linux and #Android nerds...

Anyone know a way to transfer content between them *without* a trusted local network, like an ad-hoc mode where I can push files over WiFi?

Everything I find needs you to be on the same LAN, or relies on a cloud service.

Anyone else find it odd that the #DOGE guys are referred to as "kids" despite all being full grown adults, but the victims of #epstein are called "young women" despite being thirteen?

@Paulatics If it were about kids, there would be a push to get media literacy in schools. Age verification is dangerous to everyone, its implementation is only a variety of privacy violations. When kids were getting into their father’s or uncle’s porn magazines, no one was searching homes looking for these stashes to protect the children. Kids will be curious, so also make good sex ed mandatory in schools. @jdp23 @Em0nM4stodon @eff

I'm pushing fifty but, if someone demands I prove it, they can stuff it.

Sideways.

Sans lube.

I already closed a Google account that was legally an adult (created in 1999) because they demanded my driver's license to watch a music video on YouTube.

#AgeVerification is #Surveilance and #Censorship.

Period.

The #EpsteinClass does *not* "protect kids."

Ever.

❓Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse? So have we!

➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)

Obviously @pluralistic is a big inspiration and help in this work.

More than 80 groups in Europe and the US has joined in a call to action.
