@evacide Amazing how people do everything to not use free software!

@evacide

@evacide surely Discord's third age-verification partner will be completely TRUSTED and DEPENDABLE and not at all part of the Torment Nexus being built around these services.

@evacide if something is free, never forget to ask who pays for it, who benefits?
I personally think it's great, though, that there are also people striving _for_ a better internet. That gives me hope.

One of the many reasons to be against #ageverification softwareIt gives the wrong people & companies tons of data, often #biometric ones
Therefore we transfers #power exactly the wrong people & #corporations
And as we can know latest since #Edwardsnowden companies do share data with governments
The cornerstone of the #chinese #surveillance #state is #realnameregistration
Don't give #biometrics to #evilcorp, especially not for cheap thrills
Do not hand data to #fascists

@evacide and meanwhile the Australian government is claiming credit for protecting children by standing up to social media companies to force them to use this kind of tech.
I’m sure the pressure is in the opposite direction.
@ollicle @evacide Yep. It's brilliant from a certain perspective. Horrifying, sinister, but with a certain genius.
The tech firms get to say "Oh, no, the horrible government is making us do this. Oh well. Now give us your identity documents."
The governments get to give the appearance of responding to (genuinely) grieving parents, and say "we're protecting the children" which is game over for any alternative voice. All the while receiving funding (directly or indirectly) from the tech firms that created the problem or the supposed solution, or their fellow travellers.
And parents get to believe their children's safety is taken care of.

I am noticing a pattern that security for unethical companies appear to have strong vibe coding traits
