I'm endlessly confused by the wave of legislation to ban children from accessing social media, rather than banning social media companies from harming children.

And yes I know Free Speech but now we know that we can torture and sicken people, including kids, in this medium. Some of the things we currently call Free Speech turn out to be poison, mental control, and torture.

At some point we have to separate the "innovation" from the digital lead and asbestos tech companies are feeding people.

For those who might be interested, I'm going to be the guest on @privacyguides "This Week in Privacy" podcast/livestream tomorrow (Friday) at 5pm (Eastern).

This will also be recorded, so you can watch it later.

As some of you may know, we're building Flatline, a self‑hostable soft fork of the Signal Server. It lets you run a mostly Signal‑compatible server for research and private deployments.

We already run a Flatline server in Bahnhof cloud for internal development.
