This right here is why I won't do any age verification and will quit a platform if they try to force me instead of letting me continue to use it.

I've quit multiple social media platforms over the years, including FB. In a way it's cutting off my nose to spite my face. When I left FB I lost contact with everyone I did activism with because they wouldn't leave. I became heavily isolated. It was still worth it to not be on that site any longer. I've built up some connections here and the rest of my socializing comes from video games because Sony hasn't started this bullshit yet.

Just say no to digital versions of "show me your papers."

Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage….

CDU und SPD wollen ein »Social-Media-Verbot unter 14« – als wäre das Kinderschutz. Gleichzeitig werden Kinder per »Family Link« von Google dauerüberwacht: Aktivität, Standort, Routinen – alles wird protokolliert und verknüpft. Am Ende wird Symbolpolitik gemacht, während der eigentliche Kinderschutz an der falschen Stelle landet.
