This website shows exactly how invested Big Tech is in adding age verification laws.

Mind you, the same companies that used to hold the exact opposite stance and even put children in harms way by way of neglecting actual offenses against minors.

Why would they shift now?
Data. That's why. They want to lock down the internet, maximize tracking and they want to increase the amount of data they can legally collect on minors.

We need to be careful with this Fandom-ization of the fediverse. Fandom creates blind followers and makes critical thinkers potential enemies of the groupthink.

Mastodon is a giant dangerous experiment that does NOT protect user data and has no e2e encryption!

This is NOT a win for humanity, but creating the next big brother network masked as "cool b/c federated".

We need to build privacy aware networks now!

The Department of Information Communications Technology in the Philippines plans for mandatory verification for all social media users.

I live in that country, and I am rarely active here in this platform, so expect me to be posting frequently if this gets passed to the law.

Briliant!!

Being open about my identity attracts some of the worst people. YouTube comments can be ugly, especially when discussing anything that does not pertain to cis white men.

Today, I dealt with a private message on Mastodon that forced me to learn the term "sealioning."

Wikipedia defines it as "a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence... while maintaining a pretense of civility... likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings."

It is bad faith exhaustion tactics. If you see it, do not engage.

Just came back into this peaceful platform (again).

Bill Gates and Microsoft are under fire after Windows 11 privacy changes triggered global backlash. Allegations suggest keystroke data is being recorded and sent back to Microsoft. For many, this crosses a line. It is another reminder why control over your own system matters, and why more people are choosing Linux.

They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.
