#privacy is a human right

[immortalvipers]

It is not strange for a child to keep their door closed and demand the basic human right of privacy. What IS strange is a parent wanting to invade their child's privacy 24/7. Do not treat children like property. Denying your child the right to privacy is abuse. Knowing that your family does not trust you is a horrible, horrible feeling. If you are someone who has suffered from this, get mad. Get upset. Go express yourself and tell your story.

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but emergency birth control should be available without needing to interact with another human being. Give us a discreet service where someone can just pick up their pills in a stapled brown paper bag.

Also it should cost exactly one penny but that's a different problem.

KOSA SENATE VOTE UPDATE

The official senate vote is set to take place July 30th and then the senate goes on august break. If we can fight this bill and make sure it doesn't pass again, we'll have around a month before we have to fight it again!

So CALL AND EMAIL YOUR SENATORS!

This link below has a call and email masterpost with contact info for a few senators and 2 scripts (1 for democrat and 1 for republican) that works for calls, emails, and even fax! (yeah you can still fax your congress ppl. do with that info what you will) call and email and fax every day you can!

also, for my peeps that are still Minors, you can do all this too! you don't have to be an adult to contact your reps & senators! They don't even ask for your age! you especially need to be helping since this bill is trying to use you as a scapegoat and directly targets you. Don't let them unleash textbook fascism upon the internet in your name!

Spread the word! at the time I'm making this post (July 28th, 2024) we got a little under a day and a half to make as much noise as we can! SPREAD THIS LIKE WILDFIRE PPL

Opting out of TSA face scans at the airport might seem intimidating, especially with concerns about potential delays or confrontations. When I opted out, no questions were asked and no trouble followed. It’s a small, but impactful way to demand a consent-driven approach to how our data is handled. Remember, you have the right to say no and protect your privacy.

But as ever-larger, more concentrated corporations captured more of their regulators, we’ve essentially forgotten that there are domains of law other than copyright — that is, other than the kind of law that corporations use to enrich themselves.

Copyright has some uses in creative labor markets, but it’s no substitute for labor law. Likewise, copyright might be useful at the margins when it comes to protecting your biometric privacy, but it’s no substitute for privacy law.

When the AI companies say, “There’s no way to use copyright to fix AI’s facial recognition or labor abuses without causing a lot of collateral damage,” they’re not lying — but they’re also not being entirely truthful.

If they were being truthful, they’d say, “There’s no way to use copyright to fix AI’s facial recognition problems, that’s something we need a privacy law to fix.”

If they were being truthful, they’d say, “There’s no way to use copyright to fix AI’s labor abuse problems, that’s something we need labor laws to fix.

Why can't people just be normal

Across the country feminists gathered to stand against the horrific realities of mass "deepfake rape" with hundreds of schools having countless underage pupils having their privacy breached in the most horrific circumstance.

The governmental response has been milquetoast, blaming telegram operations and a handful of culprits instead of addressing the deeply misogynistic social order and and patriarchal system which maintains this disturbing reality.
