Ok, fellow hackers, I propose a pact: That new EU age verification app thingy ... do NOT help improve it.

Don't publish findings. Don't responsibly disclose insecurities. Don't facilitate them making it bulletproof.

If personal data is directly at risk, by all means, slam their asses into the ground. GDPR them into oblivion.

But on its core functionality this needs to be, to become, and to stay, the most insecure, the most easily circumventable piece of shit code on the planet.

Apparently they rolling out this technology that scans our eyeballs online and forcing people to prove their a 'real human'. I thought the constant harassment of captchas was bad. Somehow they've made things even worse.

@EUCommission If it is for parents to raise their children, then why is age verification needed at all? Parents have all the tools they need already - most devices come with parental controls, and of course they can decide when to give devices at all.

"H.R.8250 - Parents Decide Act"

The US government and masses who support these age attestation and/or verification bills can go fuck themselves. I've been saying that a lot lately. hmm

Basically this is one of a handful of proposed bills that would mandate the speech of developers to include a component that enables nefarious regulations. This is straight out of George Orwell's 1984. It's surveillance of all devices (age does NOT matter here) and in 1984 they were called telescreens installed in every room of people's homes. These two-way devices broadcast propaganda and allow the Thought Police to watch and listen to citizens at all times.

It's not the core component, but what it enables that is the problem. This happened in the UK with similar legislation. Non-MS/Apple users can't access half the web.

The crazy thing is there are potential solutions to these problems, legal or otherwise, but at the end of the day it just shows they have little other purpose than harming everyone.

You don't need an internet connection to have access to a wide array of content that is 'harmful' to minors. Before the internet kids would often pass around their dad's playboys/anarchist cookbooks/etc. Today's equivalent of this is passing around a drive with a significant chunk of the internet on it. More content than anyone could ever hope to explore.

There is also this thing called cryptocurrency, foreign made product, and an underground market.

In Cuba and North Korea we already see this. Despite the internet being non-existent Cubans and North Koreans still have access to a large portion of the same content Americans do.

Europe already has laws since the GDPR passed that results in US news and foreign sites being inaccessible.

The bill was introduced on April 13th and has been referred to the US House Committee on Energy and Commerce. It's being sponsored by the Democratic party's Josh Gottheimer, with it being co-sponsored by Republican Elise M. Stefanik so it has bipartisan support.

Xbox Now Wants Your Face to Let You Play Games You Already Own in Singapore

Wow, Xbox users in Britain had to verify their estimated age to unlock full features due to their Jewish imposed 'online safety act' to protect "muh" "children" but it's another tool for privacy invasion and compromising your digital freedoms towards the 24/7 biometric surveillance systems. Now Singapore is following the similar footsteps with the latest techo biometric facial recognition age verification method to keep and obtain owned games.

@benpate So what they are building is actually a way to later enforce censorship of a decentralized network by state actors.

Very interesting concept. Uses IPFS.

Fellow techies (and everyone else too of course):

What are your thoughts?

4chan did more for disability acceptance than any woke circles shooting demands like they're holding someone hostage, because when I read Katawa Shoujo I thought "nice girls" and the stories weren't even about disabilities, but rather about people who have various disabilities for whatever reason
but whenever I see yet another dumbfuck "ackchyually, being Deaf means coming from an endangered culture and whenever you say 'curing deafness' you mean genociding people from this rich Culture" I want to reply with a link to rip and tear music except these retards won't even be able to hear it and my opinion of people with disabilities degrades to the point of "genocide is not optional"

What if I told you that alt text could be used to train AI to replicate your uploads
