On a planet that is boiling and will cook people alive because we cannot stop burning fossil fuels, the rich are pushing for fascism to prevent the dying people from revolting.
In such a world, with this context, the rich are saying, "All those people posting anonymously—we want to know who they are, where they live."
How can—in such a world—anyone believe that "age verification" or "chat control" is about protecting children? More so, when children are raped by the Epstein class and forced below the poverty line by neoliberals and nobody is ever held accountable.
How can anyone say, "Let's give these neoliberals the benefit of the doubt?"

OK this is a stupid question, but why have Linux projects (apparently) fallen over themselves to comply with an age-recording statute in a single US state (albeit a large one), when those projects have been failing for decades to respect national and even international law regarding disability?

The lasting damage was knowing it could happen at all: that a single contributor with no stated organizational backing could submit compliance infrastructure for surveillance law directly into the software that boots your computer, get it merged by two Microsoft employees, and have the creator of systemd personally block the removal.
Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert. Unpaid compliance simp.
The US Congress Judiciary Committee is pushing US tech companies, such as Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and X, to provide access to ALL communications with European Commission officials that relate to the enforcement of EU digital rules, in letters sent Monday. 🚨🇪🇺
The committee said its subpoenas require that documents are not deleted or modified, and that it expects “full compliance.”
Behold, the CLOUD act in practice.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent letters to ten technology companies—including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Reddit, Rumble, TikTok, and xAI—reiterating that the Committee's document subpoenas require the companies to produce communications with foreign censors, including the European Commission and European Union (
😵 🤯 Last year a #Meta Lobbyist became a new head of the #Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Today, the former head of the DPC announced that she is now working for MHC - the Irish law firm for Meta that was previously defending Meta before the #DPC in #GPDR cases - basically a 360° seat swap between the Irish regulator and Meta.
This is not just extreme #CorporateCapture of a regulator and makes #Ireland a laughing stock within the EU, but moves like this also undermine any public...
