Add to this that social media age checks in Australia are being outsourced to KWS, a US-based subsidiary of Epic Games -- created by startup SuperAwesome (youth-targeted ad strategies).

PSA: there’s been an exploit for Signal and WhatsApp released that can be used to silently track you.

Temp fixes for both can be done in your settings:

For WhatsApp: Settings>Privacy>Advanced>Block unknown messages.

For Signal: Settings>Privacy>Phone number>Who can find me by number>Nobody

Great fucking website
Ok so what you need to know about these is that:

BLUESKY RESETS YOUR MODERATION SETTINGS PERIODICALLY WITHOUT TELLING YOU.

YOU HAVE TO CHECK ANYTIME THE SITE UPDATES BASICALLY.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

what is extra frustrating about the continued efforts to kill it is that none of them understand this

everyone attacking it is convinced that killing section 230 will allow them to remove some part of the internet that they don't like, be it content moderation or sex predators, but it's much worse
Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

If you're a U.S citizen who uses the current internet in any way, defend this please

Because I can sure as hell bet this will impact the internet on an international scale

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW.

I believe the Section 230 repeal is a very serious attempt for one simple reason: Gaza

US politicians are desperate to control the free flow of information online after the role social media played in activism around the genocide

The status quo on Israel has been threatened, senators are scared

Other repeal attempts weren’t responding to immediate political threats… this is a response to a very real and serious fear that social media is destabilizing the status quo, negatively affecting politicians that created the environment for this genocide to take place

I personally believe, compared to other S230 repeal attempts, this one is more likely to succeed. May still be an uphill battle. We’ll have to see. But S230 antagonism is bipartisan. And if the Obamacare subsidies were trashed… I’m not hopeful in politicians “doing the right thing”

The link between sexual repression and militarism is becoming clearer by the day.

His solution? Mandatory national service.

Individual bills may fail but these legislators want to present the appearance of a unified push against sec 230/privacy rights

Its worth keeping perspective that not every bill is The End, but everytime they start yapping i think we do need to do our own yapping to counter their narrative!

So many lawmakers are completely out of touch with how the internet actually works.

We prepped a page with resources and FAQ’s on Section 230 and why tampering with it is a bad idea.

This isn't final, still in the notice & comment stage. But if it goes through, even as someone whose job depends on people attending events here, I would urge folks not to enter the US. Send a comment TODAY yelling at these assholes not to do this!

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad
They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them
Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We finally are moving to file a bipartisan Section 230 repeal bill. Waiting any longer serves no useful purpose.
