#ageID
genAI, incessant ads/subscriptions, ageID, the constant erasure of adult/sex work & LGBTQIA content, the algos, the grind culture, all of it can disrespectfully fuck right off

I just wanna nerd out re: stories (writing, books, films, tv/theatre shows, podcasts, music, etc) with other nerds like me

I'm back from leave, a few days after the #ageID requirements came into force in the UK. I spoke with @stokel.bsky.social about my ID verification concerns in a world where so much of our lives are already affected by unaccountable, private, techbro led companies www.fastcompany.com/91370158/int...
Internet regulation is entering its hall pass era
Sweeping new age verification laws in the U.K. and U.S. aim to protect children—but critics warn they could undermine privacy, harm vulnerable users, and end the last remnants of online anonymity.

"UK AgeID regulations are bad because of privacy, data and community concerns" no, they're bad because they reduce the number of 10 year olds you can dunk on in fortnite

Surprised people haven't noticed this...

This tells me Discord wants a solution where the facial scan doesn't leave the user's machine, and therefore won't be saved on any central database.

Which, if AgeID becomes law, is the best we can hope from any social app.

It's on Itch if you want to buy it there; Steam blocks it because of AgeID laws in Germany.

System76, instead of worrying about how to comply with Age Verification laws, is going fighting back against the laws, and urging Lawmakers to exclude open-source software from those mandates all-together!

System76 fighting for open source being excluded from Colorado age checks
There's a lot of age checking / age assurance bills going around right now, and System76 have entered the fight in Colorado to help open source.

Criticizing how discord handled it is good. they're handled it bad. but if your issue is AgeID then I think you might as well look for FOSS alternatives that run p2p because anything short of that will be next

Haven't used Bluesky in a while as it kept asking me for ageID before I could view anything, and I ain't giving my ID to third parties.
Just noticed now though, that Bluesky had set my DOB to 2023, and that's why it was asking for ID.. 😮‍💨I know we millenials look younger than we are, but... 😂

"Additionally, the largest age-verification provider, AgeID, is run by PornHub’s parent company. Assuming many elected officials are concerned about pornography companies generally, this arrangement is not ideal."

You lot do realise that's soon going to be a minimum requirement to use the Internet?

As frustrating as AgeID is, it won't disappear.

Discord is testing new forms of Age verification, face scans are still an option, but now also Google Wallet & Credit Card checks. Face scans will now occur On-Device with a new vendor named "Incode"

Discord begins testing age verification with Google Wallet and credit cards, but face scans are still on the table
It might be enough to stem the outrage.
