One of my go-to delivery restaurants has started gating their website with, I am not making this up, a loading gif of a masturbating panda, and I’m just very unsure what they expected this to accomplish

Almost immediately after the Kansas AV law passed, Kobach filed suit against adult platforms, alleging tens of millions of dollars in damages. Wonder if the new AG will bother to pursue it, or the law’s requirement for age-gating “acts of homosexuality”
Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid.

Democrat Chris Mann will be the new Kansas attorney general, APcalls.

no time gating!! just kind of a directed "it's a good time to go do the local sidequests if you want"

Also consider that none of the same process is was designed to make Brightline, FDOT, and the municipalities invest in grade separation or even sufficient quad-gating

Yes, actually. It's on Labour to earn those votes. I was considering splitting my vote in Hutt South, but Labour's endorsement of social media age-gating was a step too far. If a party has no respect for human rights, like privacy and freedom of expression, it doesn't deserve my vote.

Can't prove this is true, but maybe it's a thought to put in front of Democrats who think age-gating the Internet is a really great idea
It might sound silly but I think the 38-point blue shift in men 18-29 really is just demonstrating that you can't come after anime and you can't come after porn anymore.

When a phone game has time gating on play, that's that shit that makes me say "no"

Everyone should be able to get one course, no questions asked.

Gating it like that is stupid.

Question: at several points in the ARR MSQ there have been “it will take a while,” “come back later,” esque lines which then immediately give you the next quest wherein whatever you were waiting for is done. Was there some kind of ?? time gating back in the day ?? or ??

I can't quote-post @ebonyteach.blacksky.app (bc she is wise about interaction gating) so I am going to make this whole post noting that she is posting about Black American parallel media systems *from Blacksky* which you 🫵 could be supporting right here:

I'd played Golden Idol before, and this is an interesting comparison in that it's got some point and click adventure elements - game world is explorable, mild item collection puzzles to open up new areas. Which ends up gating how the story unfolds in very interesting ways.

These are excellent, but programs like gating them behind lecture classes to prove that you're worthy of taking a class where the professor is expected to remember your name.

Are you a student journalist being shut out of social media because of age-gating laws? Or a professional journalist being forced to put your privacy at risk to verify your age?

@eff.org wants to hear about it.
