The horror of Age Verification is
arriving in Canada ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ
Contact your federal MP and the office of the Prime Minister this week to tell them you strongly oppose the privacy-destroying and inefficient measure.
The time to push back is NOW: https://globalnews.ca/news/11797286/liberal-party-adopts-motion-social-media-ban-kids/
'Prime Minister Mark Carney said last month that the idea โmerits an open and considered debate in Canada,โ although he does not have a settled view on it yet and said there were good points on both sides.'

We do NOT want this nightmare in Canada. Fight back for your privacy rights! โ๐

This pretty clearly reads "I am a bigoted TERF who jumped in the MAGA parade so I could spread hate with them, now that hate is turning toward me and it's just not fair!"
Totally not a predictable case of #LeopardsEatingFaces now, is it?

I'd love it if spammy slopware sites with a grayed out reject button for creepy cookies didn't flood the #privacy tag with a flood of posts.
Pointless service, too, image magick and ffmpeg cover every use I'd havd without giving me a slimy vibe.
The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.
Some politicians have already stated this plainly.
This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.
This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.
This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.
This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.
This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.
Do not let them do this to us.

...and they're working on it, via the flatpak github page, so I'm tf out of that.
I'll miss you, flatseal!
MAGA: We Protect Children!
So, child tax credit to prevent child poverty from spiking 30%?
MAGA: Nope
Gun safety laws because guns are the leading cause of death for American kids?
MAGA: Nope
Stop arming Isreal because they've killed dthousands of Palestinian, Iranian, & Lebanese kids?
MAGA: Nope
Release the Epstein Files because children were systemically raped?
MAGA: Nope
Then HOW do you protect children?
MAGA: We heard of 7 trans student athletes so we elected a fascist to stop them!
So...did ICE stop assaulting & kidnapping people around the country, or did corporate news networks just stop reporting on it?
