Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age.

They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.

If you're an EU citizen, here's an EU Citizen's Initiative to stop mandatory age verification for you to sign. I'm doing my part

This isnt just a petition, if they reach the 1 million signature goal the EU commission is required to address it seriously

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine has SUCCEEDED in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. Phase III trial results in MORE THAN 1,100 patients shows the vaccine SIGNIFICANTLY extended the time patients lived without their melanoma returning AND reduced the risk of metastasis.
Moderna and Merck say mRNA cancer vaccine succeeded in late-stage melanoma trial
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine succeeded in a late-stage melanoma study, results that could herald a new, powerful approach in oncology.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

Check your voter status!

Vote.gov

Doesn’t matter what state you’re in. Always check your status before voting day. Do it months before because there are often deadlines to fixing it.

Make sure everything is active and accurate.

In addition to calling your reps, this website has both a lot of information explaining why these bills are bad/ why section 230 must be protected, as well as petitions to sign for each individual issue!

Signing petitions helps! Make your calls, sign petitions!

🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube!

YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it!

➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!

Glad to know that Twitch doesn't actually give a fuck about what its creatives want and don't want...

Anyway, go to Settings, Security & Privacy, then scroll down until you see the Training for Generative AI option to disable it.

🚨 KOSA UPDATE

The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE.

Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)

SOME GOOD NEWS!

continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators.

More work ahead!
The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉
Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference.
Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off"

Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn.

They have the right to speak up about this.

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM.

The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY.

Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever.

Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line.

Let them know how badly it stinks.

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit.

Call in, and kill it.
This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act.

Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

So apparently some Hollywood reject is trying to trademark the most common word in the fandom: fursona.

This impacts every furry and more importantly fursuit makers because they're trying to trademark it under Class 25 (Clothing / Robes) which includes costumes and subsequently fursuits.

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.
Okay, so I guess people in Texas can't use this app anymore. How many of my friends are going to disappear now? ☹️

Also, this isn't going to stop with Texas. If the KIDS Act or KOSA isn't stopped, this'll be your future, too:
