Google trying to scare Europe into giving them money and power back in their region Stfu and let Europe get their individuality and contribute to open source projects which will help Americans like me much more than any amount of money given to Google.

@Beep@lemmus.org I'm surprised that nobody's mentioning the elephant in the room. In the case of a EU-US split what happens to SWIFT? Will SEPA completely overtake it - at least on a continental scale? How likely is either side of the pond to try and pull the nuclear option on SWIFT (which is hosted in Belgium but has a huge participation of American banks too), with the assured mutual destruction that ensues? By all means, I think that it's worth to consider a world where the constraints of SWIFT are finally overcome, but let's think of all the wider consequences (and response to potential retaliation on either side) that this may cause. All while trying to make sure that in case of nuclear options Europe doesn't have to rebuild overnight its inter-continental payments networks. @technology@lemmy.world

Too late assholes... I'm already deleting most of the posts I made on my discord and I will be migrating elsewhere soon.

Last month, the popular social video app TikTok finalized a deal with investors, including Oracle, to appease a bipartisan bill that called on the app’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to divest — or be banned in the United States. The deal launched a frenzy among its US-based users over possible censorship, with some accusing it of taking down footage of ICE agents or restricting searches for words, such as “Epstein.” While TikTok denied these claims, pointing to a “data center power outage,” the app also changed its privacy policy at the time — now allowing it to collect more detailed data on its users, including their precise locations. That sparked new fears. As The New Republic argues, TikTok’s deal means that agents at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whose deportation efforts have been supercharged under the Trump administration, could skip tedious court-ordered data requests and monitor users by buying their data from private data brokers that obtain the info from TikTok directly — a “highly ironic” development, the magazine writes, considering the ByteDance deal was motivated in the first place by fears over Chinese state-sponsored surveillance.

Discord announced on Monday that it’s rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users’ accounts to a “teen-appropriate” experience unless they demonstrate that they’re adults. Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox. Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally, but users won’t be able to send messages or view content in an age-restricted server until they complete the age check process, even if it’s a server they were part of before age verification rolled out. Savannah Badalich, Discord’s global head of product policy, said in an interview with The Verge that those servers will be “obfuscated” with a black screen until the user verifies they’re an adult. Users also won’t be able to join any new age-restricted servers without verifying their age.
