@jessiegender.bsky.social latest vid is excellent and necessary not just for YouTubers

Wanted to point out the segment about agegating-corporate censoring of queerness is a long term pervasive problem and one of the most low key insidious ones-watch This Film is Not Rated for more details

all this fuss about agegating porn when what we should really be doing is not letting boomers on any meta network unless they've passed a course in identifying online bullshit

Steam Community: Steam Artwork. Age-gating is not "protecting the kiddos". It's government surveillance designed to erode privacy and security. Nobody has to tolerate this; we CAN make a difference if...

It's not over yet, though. It's a step in the right direction, but we're gonna need them to back off this agegating shit PERMANENTLY.

Quite, but having an adult willing to shill for you has been a way out of agegating since time immemorial.

anyway This Is Just To Say that I am off on a visit to england tomorrow, back on the 19th, as you all know my illustrious homeland has gone insane and started agegating the internet so I don't think I will be around much before then

all this agegating shit has me remembering when my sister was in high school & they decided to run a program where students had to log into a website & tell it how they were feeling... w/ the head of IT being able to see everything. & if you refused they'd block your internet access.

He he. I just found that adorable. It's a mentally that will serve some harsh reality check later in their life.
I just imagine its the same type that ends up agegating themself, AND having panic attacks when they turn 40 ^^

Although currently misfiled in the Information Commissioner's Office database as an enforcement notice, the ICO's £14.5M UK #GDPR fine against Reddit regarding an alleged failure of #agegating is now out: ico.org.uk/action-weve-... 1/2

It's striking that, despite generally avoiding formal action to counter core violations of #dataprotection, this fine pivots around an alleged failure of #agegating since this matter is generally seen as under @ofcom.bsky.social's

Please @tuta.com, come over to the #unitedstates and talk some sense into the states that have #agegating laws! We don't need this over here, either.

I use various privacy-conscious services in the U.S. and Europe, including @proton.me, @duckduckgo.com, and @vivaldi.com. I plan on trying Tuta, too!

AB 1856 passed the California Assembly and is on its way to the Senate. This is an age verification / age gating bill that goes far beyond CA’s AB 1043 age bracketing scope. Almost no news coverage. Tell your reps to vote NO.

Ageless Linux

An interesting response to unworkable, ill-advised and ultimately pointless age gatingfor OS providers.

Everyone will eventually be taught to lie about their age. Everyone will have a birthday on the 1st January 1970.

14 year old Max has the right diagnosis (designed to maximise engagement), politicians have wrong solution (bans which require everyone to be policed on the internet). The problem is the business model so politicians need to regulate *that*.

i understand that it does feel dystopian that things would need safeguards like this to protect kids and society in general, but we've already seen in plain sight what the wild west internet has done to the last two generations. i view it kind of the same way as agegating cigarettes or alcohol tbh

The push for age verification is quite obviously not about protecting children. This is also a global issue instead of an American one.

The problem is what can be done about it?

EU’s Social Media Ban Could Bring ID Checks for Adults
The EU wants to keep children off social media, but enforcing the rules could mean adults increasingly having to prove their age or show ID online.

California's age verification law is proving controversial — here's what you need to know, and why some #Linux #distros are in the firing line

#ageverification
#agegating
#privacy
#appdev
#api
#softwaredev
#identification
#os
screencap from techradar article linked in this post: …If the content of the app isn't age-appropriate, the onus is on the developer to ensure the person cannot use the software, or the dev is liable and will be penalized to the tune of up to $2,500 per affected child (for negligent violations — intentional violations run up to a fine of $7,500 in each instance). However, it's a simple self-reported age check; there's no photo ID verification or similar process (as is the case in other US states with this kind of regulation). As Tom's Hardware points out, there's a broad definition of an operating system provider, which is any organization that "develops, licenses, or controls the operating system software on a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device".

I haven’t been transparent about why I haven’t been streaming over the past 4-5 months so here it is

TL;DR, Twitch’s agegating pretty much tanked my motivation to make content. But I haven’t mentioned that since I don’t want people to feel sorry for me when my circumstances are a drop in the bucket
An announcement sent to my Discord server. It reads as follows, Thanks for coming tonight! Cubix is such a goofy show but it's a childhood favourite I haven't come clean about why I haven't been streaming lately, but I think 4-5 months of nothing isn't fair on you lot. I'm ready to address it (using the @/everyone ping for this, since I consider it important): So you probably noticed that my activity dropped way off after my country's government decided to start throwing out age checks right? Twitch decided to start agegating streams and you'd need to give ID to be able to watch certain streams in my home country, unless you use a VPN to get around it. The long and short of it is, one day, I was checking back one of the VODs for a stream (it was Baldur's Gate 3), and it agegated *my own fucking stream*. I did use a VPN while I was streaming, but the traffic was genuinely awful. If you remember, we had severe technical difficulties because of the VPN, and I ended up having to call it off. I am not going to be giving a scan of my face to a corporation that may be lying about whether or not they will store the data. Given that they might be banning/restricting VPNs here next, I'm not sure paying for a better VPN would be worth the trouble long-term. I can't use the tags to keep my streams 18+ because of this so I'm not sure what the future of the channel will be. **I don't want to retire since I feel like I've barely started, and this shit will not hold me back unless there's no way around it.** Yes, I'm aware that you have to give ID to Twitch for affiliate onboarding. I am fortunate enough to say that I'm not interested nor worrying about monetising my content in the near future, so I have absolutely no reason to give them my ID. I hate being open about this stuff since I don't want people to feel sorry for me over something that a lot of people have been affected by. I thought you lot should know why I've been cancelling everything. Thank you all so fucking much. I love you.
