Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

I found another "keep kids safe on the Internet" thing...

Here's a screenshot:

Verify, how? (I doubt it's the, are you over 18, yes it no?) Wouldn't that ALSO be collecting data from minors?

Also, I'm sure it would be requiring ALL users to verify their age... It's not sentient to be like "oh hey, hold up, kid. We need to verify your age."

Just...no. Just parent. I read the article, and I know that some parents don't want another responsibility...but that responsibility has been there. Talk to your kids, learn Internet safety with them, there are parental controls on devices...

You there! Federal museum professional educator or FEMA climatologist or NOAA metereologist or CISA cybersecurity specialist or Army civilian logistics employee. How would you like to work for ICE? No? Not interesting? You’re working for ICE now. You’re working for ICE or you’re quitting. You don’t get a choice. You’re an ICE brown shirt or you’re out of a job.

This is not hyperbole. This is happening across the entire United States government.

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

Okay so bad news for everyone on YouTube right now

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Here their address for letters

Send a mass amount of letters on the 5th of August and than another mass amount on the 8th

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day (and beyond), no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

Edit: I have taken into consideration and I am going to agree that the blackout should be until the decision is reversed, this is so we are not out at risk as users and so YouTube doesn’t just ignore the original black out

I might have a more detailed plan posted later today, but it depends on everything goes

Another edit: just to remind yall to send in letters and emails about this to google to force their hands to reverse this decision

There is also the law itself, though I can’t speak much on it other than finding lawing bodies that can force YouTube to reverse this decision. If anyone can find a place to file or call for this, that will be greatly appreciated! (I heard maybe the FTC and or the California Consumer privacy right can be considered, but that needs more research)

BIGGER UPDATE: we have a new plan in motion, here is the updated plan for you all to see

and also here's a petition to stop the law that would help support this into becoming a thing

and also a tumblr post about it and how you can help further prevent this from being allowed in office

Don’t forget to send this fellow people outside of tumblr

YouTubers, Twitter users, send it through out and make sure you are heard

Another update for people, we have a discord server! Come over to the server to join in and be organized then before!

YouTube is implementing an AI policy that tracks your watch history and determines your age with it. The only way to be able to continue watching the videos you want on YouTube if you've been falsley flagged as a minor by their AI is to give YouTube your government ID. This is being implemented in the US right now. It is essential to rage against this and put YouTube in the fucking ground if they continue with it—that may be the only way to make them backtrack. But damn isn't that hard to do when responding to this announcement with a polite but negative comment flags you for violating community guidelines and bans you from even posting it?

for anyone in the UK, needing to access discord and unable or unwilling to provide an ID:

There's this interesting phenomenon where when you're a child, or some other vulnerable minority dependent on a job for shelter, you are actually under duress almost constantly. You can't say "I don't want to work today," you cannot say "I don't want to do the dishes, actually," you cannot choose not to participate. In a lot of cases, the punishment is explicit. Your parents might yell at you. Your boss might fire you. But in other cases, it's implicit. The mood will sour. You lose leeway. People get mad at you. And that creates a really shitty environment where you're constantly being coerced to do things!

And here's the kicker; you're not allowed to acknowledge that. You cannot acknowledge that you are being coerced, you cannot acknowledge that your free will is not being respected, because that's punished too. Your boss insists that you act excited. Your parents punish you for acting surly. You are forced to fake enthusiastic consent, constantly. It's a fucking nightmare. Your hand is being forced, you do not have the option to say "no," and if you ever, for a second, try to acknowledge that, everyone acts like you're the aggressor.

Thinking about a possible Fallout costal group they call Shellbacks who descended from a group of US Naval captains who took their ships and RAN for the open ocean when the news came through that full scale nuclear war was breaking out in 2077. Maybe 2 or 3 ships captains who spoke to their crew and decided 'fuck this, we're on our own' and went completely AWOL, and then found eachother and made a small floating coalition on the ocean, which eventually became a generational flotilla that wanders up and down the long American coast from Alaska down to the southern tip of Chile-- trading ocean resources for mainland ones and famed for their clever engineers who keep 200 year old ships afloat and good places to live. Also keeping a lot of the old sailor superstitions alive, and talking like a bunch of proper salty sea dogs.

The name Shellbacks is from an old Naval tradition, but got more literal as the generational crew started designing new boats based on mutated sea turtles for traversing merky or boggy shore areas where a traditional ship may get stuck-- the 'flippers' allowing for broad maneuvering of the vehicle on land while its propelled by tank treads on the bottom of the 'body', as well as sharp turns and aquatic breaking when submerged.

Yeah I'm excited for the new Superman movie because of childhood nostalgia, but also because I really hope having the good old "beacon of hope and kindness" hero back helps the kids who will watch the movie.

No more nihilism and doomers, enough of that shit, children need to know being good and helping people is awesome, that the biggest superpower you can have is kindness, and have that portrayed in media again.
