And then they'll demand age verification for "sensitive political content". Not to verify your age, but to find out who you are and crush internet anonymity.
We don't really have it as it stands anyway, it's just an illusion we hold dear to. The government will find you if they want to, ID verification or not. If malicious autist netizens can doxx anyone should they fall under their scope, the gov already knows.
Its also rather odd that every country is implementing ever expansive age/ID verification at the same time. The last time we saw this type of behaviour was the introduction of lockdown. Unlike lockdown, it's unlikely we will see an outlier such as Sweden.
A commentator for The Hill suggests as I warned, websites and services will have to verify the physical location of the user.
Ireland will require age verification for all video sharing sites from July 21st and dating apps will have to have age verification in the UK from July 25th.
This is the newest front of the ongoing culture war.
Didn't they keel over for faggot marriage some years back? Why would they stand up now? Soon the only same havens will be the places we were all told are not. The marginalized countries that have no means to police the land or internet. IE. Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. The true wild west.
The number of wet, moralfagging Con Inc. concern trolls and Boomers on the so-called "right" who encourage this, with utter ignorance or disregard for the inevitable free-speech crackdown that will result from it, are not helping the pushback.
Internet savvy gen x memesters just dragged their retarded boomer asses out of the fire they started, and yet they’re still trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on their way out. Boomers really can’t die off soon enough.
Yeah, but I'm sure we'll hear from commenters here about how this is really just about keeping kids from porn (something no one with any modicum of power gives a single fuck about) and has nothing at all to do with tracking or spoofing your online activities.
something no one with any modicum of power gives a single fuck about
Correct. They rant and rave breathlessly about protecting kids from porn while simultaneously introducing books about blowjobs and faggotry into elementary schools worldwide. They don’t give a single solitary fuck about our children, they frankly want our children genocided. They basically say it out loud and show us through their actions on a daily basis in all the school boards, town councils and parliaments they control. Fuck their lies
Once you understand that CCP controlled China is the model, social credit score and all, with total surveillance state monitoring of everyone, well, it all starts to make more sense.
They want to control you at all times, because then you can't form a mob and depose them.
if this was to catch pedos... sure, but we all know its just for people that say mean things about tiny hats or for disagreeing that men can get pregnant lol. it seems the plan is to make 1 retarded western country (australia, right?) to make stupid laws/regulations like this and then try to push this on the rest of the world.
That's what I've said since the beginning, this will destroy discussion as a whole, with how companies issue bans having ID tied to everything means we will effectively be able to be silenced on every platform that has users.
They're hoping everyone will self-censor. If you believe that you are known to everyone and that there will be consequences as a result, you'll keep quiet.
Of course, this also has consequences for whistleblowing, criticism and uncomfortable truth telling.
self censorship isn't enough to avoid being banned, I've tried on many sites and still ended up getting sitewide permabans almost immediately just for talking about the dating market and the evils of women's sexual freedom.
This is pretty obvious but even if it wasn't age assurance to save the kids, they'd still implement it. People have always been retarded and don't fight back against the surveillance state.
And then they'll demand age verification for "sensitive political content". Not to verify your age, but to find out who you are and crush internet anonymity.
That's the point. To abolish internet anonymity.
Gasp! You mean it's not really to protect the children?
Next thing, you'll be telling me that the Patriot Act wasn't about preventing terrorism!
It made us safe! Remember how unsafe everything was pre 2001!
We don't really have it as it stands anyway, it's just an illusion we hold dear to. The government will find you if they want to, ID verification or not. If malicious autist netizens can doxx anyone should they fall under their scope, the gov already knows.
The biggest hit will be to ban evasion and plausible deniability.
They've been pushing that for decades.
There is not a single thing in the world these fucks ever did that helped anyone but themselves and their deranged elitist ruling class.
you plan to stay anonymous and hidden away in the sewers forever?

I'm so disappointed in Ireland, I always thought they had some fighting spirit and that freedom would be important to them.
Bureaucrats and normal people are different throughout the world. Why is Ireland different?
I would think that the bureaucrats in question would be afraid of the Irish people
I suspect the lack of car bombs in recent years has a lot to do with that. The populace has given their government no reason to be afraid of them.
Way too comfy and disconnected to realize what's happening. This is a common problem throughout history.

Just like Scottland, the spirit of freedom is gone.
The fighting spirit supported by gaddaffi and communists?

The WEF must be eradicated from the geopolitical landscape .

WEF is literally a god damn terrorist organization.
I hate the future. I wish I had known it was the Golden Age when I was still in it.

I guess we should be looking at how to st up our own starlink or finding and persuading the minions behind this.

Remember people, attractive women in video games bad, therefore government good.

They want to slowly roll out everyone having to swipe IDs to do anything online. Makes tracking and spying a lot easier
nuke the wef
