@angiebaby @Tutanota only corrupt people are terrified, not the billionaire. Because not every rich person is corrupted
You are still holding out faith in the humanity of those who already hoard more money than they can possibly spend in a lifetime while people are starving.
Billionaires do not see you as a human being.
They see you as an obstacle.

Age verification seems to be unstoppable. Following the Australian precedence, Greece & Brazil now also passed laws that will require age checks for social media.

โOnline safetyโ meaning surveillance, AI criminals promising various bullshit scams that will be used as a cover for building the private sector police state, mass identity theft when the verification is inevitably outsourced to a lowest bidder tech firm that still is wildly overpriced and wastes all the money, and then the use of the whole thing against everyone who isnโt a rich white insane Christian technofascist.

More: https://tuta.com/blog/age-verification-kills-anonymity@Tutanota I agree with most points in this post, but the privacy section seems slightly incomplete to me. Using identity wallets which use zero knowledge proofs (e.g. @yivi_privacybydesign), proving โbeing over 16โ can be done without oneโs ID or any other PIID with a central server.
The point of being limited to governmental ID holders still mostly holds up though (although it shifts to e.g. EUDI wallet holders, which happen to not necessarily use zero knowledge proofs)

@angiebaby @Tutanota it's ur POV, not everyone's . I'm also rich & still against big tech and the current system running in world. But i still don't hate every person just because they are rich or poor .. As I said not every rich person is bad or corrupt..
-
Isn't it slow tho? I'm quite shocked that it took them that long to introduce such things
@wadavxx @dick_turpin @Tutanota They had to defeat our laws first. Had to convince people that they need to be tracked. 20 years ago nobody would have put up with this shit. Not to this extreme. They had to go slow.

@crazyeddie They had help, and they get help every day. Every time you see someone on the Fediverse saying, for example, "We need protecting from right-wing influencers!" that's the coattails governments ride on. "Ooh, they want protection! Let's implement a check system, for their own protection, of course."
Every news report you see where someone was encouraged or driven to commit suicide or self-harm, governments use that as justification to lock the web down.

More: https://tuta.com/blog/age-verification-kills-anonymity@Tutanota@mastodon.social Brazil isn't a democracy. Australia had a tendency of censorship for several years now from what I followed so I wonder how far off it had been. And not familiar with Greece to comment on them.
Saying it's unstoppable normalizes in the mind of the people the problem for when it does come, a strategy used to exhaustion in Brazil so people don't push back.

A brazilian bureaucrat once said it would be wonderful having a digital money at the time of Covid-19 pandemic - Drex - making possible to government restrict where a person could spend his money (english subtitles available in YouTube).

More: https://tuta.com/blog/age-verification-kills-anonymityI can see both sides of this. Social media sites that don't moderate their content should be prohibited for younger users. But at the same time, "papers please" is a terrible approach.
