Hundreds of scientists say stop! ✋🚨

Governments should pause plans for mandatory #AgeChecks on online services until serious #privacy and #security concerns are addressed.

As countries push to ban children from social media, the risk to everyone’s privacy is growing. 🔐🌍

First they came for Adult Sites
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in Adult sites
Then they came for chat apps
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in chat apps
Then they came for Social Media
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in Social Media
Then they locked the whole web behind ID verification
Then they came for VPNs
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in VPNs
And there was nowhere left
To speak up

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept https://theintercept.com/2026/03/05/kosa-online-age-verification-free-speech-privacy/

A demonstration of the final addition to the Wandering Blade's arsenal: an electric yellow orb.

On its own, it can paralyze foes, rendering them unable to move for a while. It can also detonate explosives on contact, though the resulting explosions will be more powerful than usual.

With a certain upgrade, the orb can even be charged into an explosive weapon, with up to four smaller sparks' indicating the orb's explosive power. In this charged state, it can be set off by another orb.

As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.

Maybe the government’s hope is that I stop participating in society, but I assure you that I will not. I’ll find or build alternatives, and refuse to comply with bad law.

I hope you will, too.

And as a silver lining, maybe the weird internet we end up creating as a result will suck less than the current one.

A world without privacy is also a world without intimacy, without individuality, without diversity, and without democracy.

Certain politicians have clearly expressed they want a world without privacy.

We cannot let them have it passively. We must fight back for our rights. Now.

Or we will lose them.

From "your OS must enable you to declare your age" to "developers must attempt to verify your age" to "you must declare your age" to "you must prove your age" to "you must verify your identity to go online" in how long?

who is paying for these “age verification” laws? we need to find the names of the fascists flooding the zone with these proposals. wouldn’t shock me if all roads lead to Palantir and Gay Hitler.

If you use the word “clanker” to talk about generative AI, I am immediately suspicious of you. This reads to me as, guy that is so racist that he can only experience the world through the lens of bigotry. It doesn’t seem like you actually have any legitimate objections to AI, you’re just super excited you found a group (real or imagined) that it’s socially acceptable for you to be racist towards. You would say the n word if you thought it was okay. That’s what I’m hearing from you
