Told my doctor and therapist about how the AI "trying to determine my age" will expose all the HIPPA covered private information that has passed through gmail and all the medical advice youtube videos they had linked over the years and the response was instantly I will contact the other doctors here and lodge a formal complaint about it to HIPPA Try this, tell your local librarians, teachers, doctors. Most people have not heard about this yet, that's how it is passing

omg I forget the US has actual institutions that work for the good of the people

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

what happened to "if you dont pay for a platform, you are the merchandise" did people just forget about that when this whole "what if we made people upload their ids" bs started?

"Why is the world [western governments] all of a sudden trying to control us with mass surveillance?"

It's not all of a sudden. They've been trying to do this for years.

And people have been fighting it, for years. People have also been warning you, for years.

You were warned that Net Neutrality was super important. You were warned that COPPA and KOSA weren't what lawmakers said they were. People tried to tell you that banning apps would set dangerous precedent for the internet, and that they'd be coming for your VPNS. People tried to tell you that big tech companies trying to block ad-blockers and selling your data were bad things. People even tried to tell you that it was weird for supermarkets to be collecting mass amounts of data from your purchases to advertise to you, and that it was super weird for places like Walmart to need facial recognition cameras on top of that. You just didn't listen.

And you didn't push back.

And now we're here.

That said, boycott any site that wants you to upload your ID- for the love of the gods don't give them that shit it WILL get hacked/sold- and make some noise about this bullshit. We need to make it clear that we won't just lay down and take this.

The boycott is working, y'all. YouTube is panicking, trying to get people to buy Premium. They're advertising themselves on other platorms, when YT used to be the place to advertise. They're trying to bribe people with discount codes.

IT IS WORKING

Keep fighting the good fight

If you don't know about the YT boycott, I summarized it here

If this kids online safety act bill passes I’m willing to bet that in the coming years we’ll see the most blatant suppression of freedom of speech in our lifetime and it’ll only get worse, I think that soon we’ll have to put in our id to just use the internet itself if not full government takeover of the internet as a whole. It’s honestly hard to think about especially with companies like YouTube readily doing it without the government telling them to, so make your voice heard before the government takes that away too

Hello neurotypical. Are you normal about the fact that I am unable to feel empathy as an emotional response?

You see how the light blue is in danger of censorship?

Do you see how this is really fucking bad?

This whole "Submit id for using sites" thing has just been on my mind and I keep thinking how not only is it useless as a measure to protect kids in replacement of actual monitoring/raising your kid.

But also, it kind of occurred to me that this is now a new way someone can torment others.

1) Its useless for actually protecting kids online because parents who weren't already taking care to monitor their kids will probably never know if their kid simply takes their ID and use it to get access to something they shouldn't.

Kids are tech savvy and can be sneaky. A drivers license isn't something you go out of your way to hide in your home, so access is probably easy. And Im pretty sure every time your ID is used somewhere that there aren't systems in place to somehow notify the person themselves.

That brings me to point (2)

2. Identities are so often stolen. Hell, my brother had his birth certificate and ID stolen from his car one time. Someone who either has something to hide or even have an issue with you could be using your identity online to create a profile on you that could lead to you being reviewed by the government.

It's almost like a long-winded false accusation/frame up. And because these companies have no way of contacting you directly if your identity is used. it leaves no way for you to deny it is you, and now theres even more problems.
