"In the latest escalation of their efforts to push back against opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security is issuing hundreds of subpoenas to the largest social media companies, including Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Discord and Reddit, seeking to learn the personal information behind accounts that have either criticized ICE or alerted the general public to the locations of ICE agents, according to reporting conducted by the New York Times.

It's not just Donald Trump and the U.S.
Fascism is all over the world right now, but this time around, the erasure of entire groups of people is being supported by Zionists, with the British Museum removing the term ‘Palestine’ from its exhibits on the Middle East

I've heard reports of Discord using Persona for Age Verification in the UK.
For those that don't know, Persona is a Peter Thiel funded venture. Persona is facing several class action lawsuits in Illinois for allegedly using biometric data to train GenAI models. Persona, of course, denies this.
With that, I have a couple questions:
To UK Users: Has Discord always used Persona for AV? Or did they switch very recently?
To users in other regions that mandate AV: Is Discord using k-ID? Or are they using Persona (or other AV Vendor)?
Regardless, it's scummy for Discord to advertise k-ID as their AV Vendor yet use Persona without disclosure (at bare minimum). I get that Discord is kinda forced to implement AV or face the wrath of various governments, but still.

UPDATE: The use of Persona appears to be a UK specific experiment. This is presumably due to the UK government being a bit more up websites' asses about bypasses.
That being said: I could see Discord switching in other regions if other Govs get similarly up websites' asses about bypasses.

How can a mastodon user tell if their account is "hidden" or "limited" ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zjh6vq/hidden_profiles/
I see this a lot with accounts I want to follow.
1. Can admins do this without notifying the user?
2. Is it possible to see the reason accounts have been censored?
If the answers to any of these two questions is "no" then it seems mastodon is subject to abuse from biased/rogue admins and moderators.

First it's the trans folks, then it's all the other queers. And if anyone around here didn't see it coming, hie you to a library and learn something about history before they try to burn all of those down.
