Despite major outrage from users when they initially rolled out age verification systems, Discord plans to make all accounts teen by default GLOBALLY & you have to scan your face or upload an ID to prove you aren't one. www.gadgetreview.com/discord-is-b...
Discord Is Bringing Back Age Verification for Millions of Users
Discord age verification now locks stage channels, DMs, and adult content behind four ID methods — each with different privacy trade-offs worth knowing.

Defenders of age verification mandates are literally creating schemes that involve people going to their local convenience store to get an in person ostensibly privacy-preserving proof of age token

…instead of just banning and regulating the shitty business practices of Big Tech giants

REMINDER: You should still be a gadfly for your lawmakers about KOSA & other Bad Internet Bills that threaten to supercharge digital censorship & surveillance and give MORE power to fascists to control information & our ability to organize online.

🔥Keep the pressure on! www.badinternetbills.com
The image features a vibrant pink background showcasing an article about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). In the foreground, a person is sitting, focused on their mobile device while holding it in one hand. The person is dressed in a black jacket and a red shirt with visible sleeves, with their other hand resting beside them. Beside the person, there's a backpack adorned with a colorful cartoon character pattern, primarily in blue, pink, and red. The text on the image is presented in various styles: larger, bold text at the top states, "The notorious Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) passed out of the House in a rushed vote - But this bill is not yet law..." Below this, a smaller font conveys, "Kids online safety package clears House, drawing warnings from digital rights and tech groups." The image features a vibrant pink background. The text on the image states, "legislators are shifting, fear-mongering "kids safety" arguments are losing their grip, and it's because of people like you who are refusing censorship" Below this, is a squiggly arrow point right.

😱 KOSA & many of its counterparts would lock large swaths of the Internet behind invasive online ID checks & threaten our ability to speak out online.

📲 That's why we've been fighting this for years & the tides are turning. Legislators are shifting & the “kids safety” veneer is crumbling.

ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.

it's very possible the House will pass their bad version of KOSA. It's different than the Senate's bad version, though, and there is a very good chance they will be unable to reconcile the differences. We have to keep the pressure on.

📲‼️ DE-FLOCK LOWE'S CALL-IN: This is your sign to flood Lowe's customer service line with calls demanding they prioritize customer safety by ending their contracts with Flock & cut off their ALPR cameras immediately ! 1-877-465-6937

➡️ use our toolkit: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/defl...
graphic image with call messaging that says: What to say? Hello my name is {insert} and I’m calling because I am concerned about Lowe’s partnership with the surveillance company called Flock for its cameras. Flock databases have been exposed for assisting in ICE immigration raids and to criminalize abortion. I learned that Lowe’s is one of Flock’s biggest customers, which puts all its customers at risk simply by shopping or driving through a Lowe’s parking lot. I would like you to please flag this to corporate and consider its vulnerable shoppers who already experience surveillance and racial profiling. Thank you for your time. navy blue and yellow graphic with architectural blueprint background showing Lowe's logo with the word 'de-flock' above it.
