Wikipedia’s processes encourage human responsibility. By contrast, Big Tech platforms hide responsibility behind opaque algorithms. The Online Safety Act, by running them together, is jeopardising digital public goods, the commons, and digital public infrastructure.

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music.
Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.

The sites following the Tory's bullshit age verification should take a lesson from Newgrounds. Use your own data to verify users... My reddit account is 11 years old, I'd have to have been a toddler to not be an adult yet. My Spotify has a Uni student subscription... common sense. Come on.

UK’s new age verification laws are preventing anyone under the age of 18 from accessing information on Reddit about Israeli war crimes. Another example of how the goal of these “kids online safety” age verification laws are really only about censorship.

They slammed Nex's head against the bathroom floor, they blacked out & the next day they died.
The bullies who did it and the monsters in power who encouraged it will face zero consequences for it.
