Yea so you quit taking badly about the pedophiles in government.

Those are not contrary, but complementary things.

The rules have always been for us, not for them.

The police are enforcers for the elites, they don't stop crime, they extract fines from people and provide a deterrent to anyone standing up for themselves.

That's because we are dangerous (to the rich's interests)

Yes. I suspect this is all because we successfully arrested Epstein.

They worry we won't actually stand for their kidnapping and raping our kids, unless they strengthen their grip.

That would require them to arrest themselves, because everyone in the roles that deal with that are themselves pedophiles.

that's just another American Value, naming bills as sarcastically and ironcally as possible

What if you are not even a parent!

As a parent I am deciding not to comply.

In fact this is the opposite of parents deciding. Parents can already decide.

evidently Palantir wasn't able to use all available data and a few glaciers to find out who was saying mean things about Important People With Money. This oughta fill in those gaps.

They're bought and paid for by basically all the big industries just like the GOP.

And written by a Democrat.

They are literally never your ally. A lot of us refuse to accept that we have 2 parties that don't give one solitary fuck about us because it means we have no say whatsoever in our government, but Democrats prove time and time again that this is the case.

The most we get are a handful of "representatives" that somehow managed to beat AIPAC and all the corporate interests that buy the rest of them, but that handful isn't enough to actually force meaningful change or to prevent the worst from happening. :(

I don't think they think they're an opposition party, and they certainly wouldn't oppose mass surveillance. They never have.

Fair.

Meta is pushing this because their platforms are overrun by bots. Ironically because partly of the AI tools they have created. And advertisers have caught up and aren’t willing to pay top dollars anymore on Meta’s platforms. Hence why Meta desperately wants a way to proof that their traffic comes from real people.

If Meta succeeds in putting all this on your computer at the operating system level, then what is the point of even having a VPN anymore? Also Meta will sell this information to anyone who asks for it.

I think this is not an accident.

They also benefit from it as it impacts OS providers like Apple and Google. These companies need to contend with privacy flaws and supporting them on their devices, spending resources on that, while Meta just uses the OS API to "verify" user age pretending they care about children. Profit.

Meta management are evil but kind of clueless. I would guess the usual suspects including Palantir are whispering in their ears.

I got so many downvotes last time I suggested this, it was just comical to me how many people get pissed at the implication that they aren't watching their kids, while not watching their kids.

Why not both?

I fully expect the government to pull this shit, but I'll parent my kids not to tolerate it.

This has absolutely nothing to do with kids

It has nothing to do with kids it's just an excuse to push more surveillance

I was reading a list of bills and whatnot from March the other day. They all say "and for other purposes" they all say that

we're due for a modern re-framing on rights and personal autonomy.

but we might need to design it fully as local coops and roll over the epstein-class in order to get it enshrined.

if you let them change it, they'll, (as obtusely as possible,) re-phrase everything to not actually accomplish what it was supposed to.

we need big changes, and we need them yesterday, because the future is here and it's fucking us all up. the only people with the time and social placement to affect change are the ones that have been coddled into that position through either nepotism or corporate interest. yadda.

still need voter reform... hopefully the next people voted in specifically on voter reform don't just go "oops actually we weren't for that at all, hee hee." (canadian liberal party are also just the backup conservatives i guess)

and my god, there should be some accountability for directly lying to and misleading the voter base. the number of USA politicians i see that can't answer a fucking question is embarrassing to anyone thinking they don't live in a fascist state.

like, those promises, or statements, or blatant intentional incompetence should come with some form of accountability. if i fuck up too many lattes i have to live on the street, but politicians can laugh in your face after doing fuckall and taking your money.

generally anyone willing to take a position of power to hugely affect all of our lives and well being should be scared shitless for betraying their voters so blatantly.

more than anything we just need a whole new damned system which is built on modern science and not hundred years ancient aristocracy. it is possible. the only reason it doesn't seem feasible is that the people with power and influence have been spending a weird amount of their excess ensuring that the system doesn't enable or benefit anyone outside of the epstein class.

yadda yadda rant rant, i'm tired.

You need to win every time. I need you to lose only once.

We Europeans are well aware because of the Chat Control that they are trying to push here.

We have to be vigilant and fight every fight.

Never give up.

The only possible cou ter to this is to enshrine the right to own a computer and internet access into your constitution or something like that.

Our constitution? They've got that thing hanging from a nail in the shithouse.

These companies made parental controls abysmal to use, so they can count children's traffic as adult viewers for ad revenue(on both sides of the bill).

You stole my exact comment.

How can anyone not trust that face!? I'm sure this is all very well-intentioned!
