When facing really difficult conceptual problems, be sure to put your Thinking Cat on! ^-^

As age gates get rolled out, you may find yourself asking: should I continue to use services that require me to verify my age? And if so, how can I do that with the least risk to my personal information? To find out, check out our guide to navigating age assurance tech: https://eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/so-youve-hit-age-gate-what-now
So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now?

EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope we’ll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many people are asked to verify their age across the web, despite prominent cases of sensitive data getting leaked in the process.

Github's home page (when logged in) gave me a button that says "My open pull requests". Not only is this a scripted button that cannot be opened in a new window. The button does not lead to a page that lists your open pull requests. It activates a free Copilot plan and asks copilot: "Hi Copilot! Can you please find my open pull requests?", upon which Copilot thinks really hard and lists at least some of my open pull requests.

“When you have a camera in the sky that can see things that police officers can’t normally see, that offers a huge potential for privacy invasion,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told the @washingtonpost. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/08/04/drones-first-responders-police-departments/
Police nationwide are embracing a new first responder: Drones

Police tout the “Drone as First Responder” technology as life-saving for officers and community members, while critics raise surveillance and privacy concerns.

In 1981, Shel Silverstein saw AI coming.

Seen on Bluesky:

Guy explains to CEO of Signal (messaging) that it's going to add "AI" to the service. She says no. He insists, not knowing or caring who he's talking down to.
