Past few days I got hit on discord with age verification prompt despite not being a resident of UK/Aus.

It appears it's currently worldwide, done at random, not all users receive it, and - for now - it's limited to the desktop app. Editing preference options is locked until I surrender my id.

My family of 15 is freezing to death, a storm tore down their tent, leaving them exposed. Their bodies are shivering and submerged in water.

We need £300 for a tent, food, warm clothes before we lose our lives.

A little girl, crying, holding up a sign that reads: “This is a cry for help, we are dying of hunger. What are you waiting for- we need flour, food, medicine. Don’t ignore us pleaseee. I trust your humanity to help us escape this issue, I am very tired.” A family, clearly suffering and tired, huddled together for a photo under a makeshift shelter. The man is holding up a piece of paper pinned to a board that reads: “Prices in Gaza have skyrocketed, and we can no longer afford a single piece of food to satisfy my family’s hunger. We are truly ashamed to say this, but the criminal nazi occupation has left us no other option but to knock on the doors of your humanitarian hearts.” A woman in Gaza, exhausted, her feet submerged in cold, muddied water as she wraps her clothes around her to stay warm. The background is mud, rubble, and tents A photo of the conditions in Gaza, their floors flooded, muddy, and freezing cold.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.

Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

Call your reps, tell them to PROTECT section 230, and do not vote to repeal it. If it is removed, it will be the end of the free speech on the internet
acvalens.com Ana Valens | 🔞 @acvalens.com · Dec 19
Posted by Sen Graham on Twitter, calling for a week in February “dedicated to advancing legislation that protects children from online threats and tackling the Section 230 crisis once and for all.” 10% of the senate sponsors the S230 repeal bill
Anited States Scate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 December 19, 2025 The Honorable John Thune Majority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Leader Thune and Minority Leader Schumer, On February 8, 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted. Included within this legislation was the Communications Decency Act and the now-notorious Section 230. What was originally passed with the goal of helping the emerging Internet industry as our nation approached a new century has since been interpreted to shield big tech companies from accountability for an ever-expanding variety of online harms. As we approach the 30-year anniversary of Section 230, we must pause and reflect on where this law has led us as a nation and how it has affected the American people. Because of Section 230, America's children are being sexually groomed and extorted online; predators are creating and distributing Al-generated deepfake pornography; drug traffickers are selling fentanyl-laced pills to teenagers; young people's anxieties, stresses, and body image issues are exploited; and terrorist organizations and foreign governments are targeting vulnerable individuals for recrutment and exploitation. And to make matters worse, Section 230 prevents these victims and their families from ever having their day in court. Practically speaking, there is no regulatory agency overseeing social media that could provide meaningful relief to abused consumers. The combination of having the courthouse door locked and no real regulatory body to protect consumers is harmful to America and it must come to an end. The time for accountability is now. Few issues have generated more bipartisan consensus in this body than confronting the Section 230 problem. Indeed, there are few issues as important for Congress to confront than the escalating threat of online harms to Americans, especially America's children. As a res…

Please keep calling your reps to demand they oppose KOSA and other internet censorship bills!

It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.

The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives.

If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2.

Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.
chadloder.bsky.social Chad Loder @chadloder.bsky.social · May 9
Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

this bears repeating:

Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people.

Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet.
