Meta, etc pushing this so that they don’t have to.
They want this because it entrenches them yet further. More of this kind of regulations makes it more difficult for newcomers to comply with everything.
Also I’m sure they’d love to be the one to hover up all of your data.
Man, if they don’t have all my data by now, they’re doing something wrong.
Since all TV’s are smart TV’s with an OS this means age verification to watch TV? I think that’s a message that will resonate with the average consumer on what is wrong with this bill
Some people fridges will need age verification
Imagine the government remote-locking your fridge because they found out you voted wrong.
Since all TV’s are smart TV’s with an OS this means age verification to watch TV?
Lollll
Primary Josh Gottheimer. Write in anyone else against him. Vote against him or withhold voting at all in the general.
Do not signal that this is tolerated.
Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don’t know enough
He appears to be a New Jersey Rep, and the Democratic cosponsor of this bill.
Ohhh, well… Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they’re signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.
Either way it’s a problem.
If politicians are writing tech bills to deliberately undermine freedom: fire them.
If they’re writing bad tech policy because they’re not consulting the “good guys” first, such as the FSF, EFF, or OSI: also fire them.
Finally, the year of linux is coming.
palintir, meta, google are all behind it. it serves 2 purposes; silencing dissidents and TRACKING women/potential mothers as brood mares.
Don’t worry, with all these data centers going up, they’ll have enough hardware power to track the rest of us, too, not just the women.
- identifying new blood boys for Thiel
how to stay young and probably prey on them, probably learned from another rich AH bryan johnson who is trying to stay young buy sucking the blood of his son, and doing “pseudoscience” on himself with questionable scientists about longevity.
one of thiel’s partner while married is a young male model, i get its a thing for older gay guys who are rich.
It’s time to start neutering the tech bros.
Flaying and salting
And pushes the onus of implementation onto others.
Finally, torrenting Linux distros becomes a thing, rather than a curiosity
Fuck everything’s my about this.
Palantir really wants it’s fucking database.
All because Petey truly believes that there are demons living in the United States.
I keep seeing comments like this, and I just need to say, no Palantir doesn’t have any database. It’s a completely evil company that makes and sells surveillance software to governments and companies. Then the governments and companies have these terrible databases that they manage with the Palantir software.
Palantir themselves don’t do any spying or data collecting. They sell tools so that others can do that. They absolutely take the blame, but I want people to understand what’s actually happening.
there are demons living in the USA. all Petey has to do to find the closest one… is look in a mirror.
No the sad truth is that Peter Theil is, in fact, human. A human that we are all capable of becoming.
You just have to make a billion bad decisions to get where he is now.
Nazis aren’t human. they are evil given physical form.
No, they are human and they bleed the same. The irony is that they don’t see the rest of us as human.
Peter Theil and Sam Altman are why “queer owned business” is no longer an interesting label to be.
Tim Apple as well
they need more summoning salts (full minor soul crystals)
The History of Superpower Implosion Speedrun World Records
He is right, demons live in US. They are in various Federal, State, Local and Corporate functions. For example current Federal government are all demons (pretty much) and all of ICE employees. Demon here is “spirit or lesser humanity” or simly said Inhuman individuals.
Isn’t this against the 10th amendment?
It’s against the fourth and the first based on past lawsuits. But who knows what will happen with this.
Possibly the 1st too. Code is protected speech.
The smart doorlock my dad install now needs an age verification now?
Don’t worry, if it all goes as planned it will even have a gender or even race verification; for your protection.
One vengeance for all.
Has Bipartisan support too. The corporations want this, and both of our parties listen to them first and us a distant second. Catering to corporate wants is about the only thing the two parties can agree on. It’s probably going to pass, even if I hope it doesn’t. Buckle up my friends…
Wow. They did it. The dems found a way to lose the midterms.
A few years ago, due in part to frustration with our information environs, but also for fun, I decided not to get internet after moving to a new apartment. I didn’t have real internet for about 2 years. I did have 1GB of data per month through my phone service and used my phone or an mPCIE 4g card as an uplink for text-only internet. I simply restricted myself to JS-free applications like w3m or elinks. I quite enjoyed my time having to be very mindful of my data usage. It forced me to fully audit all the technology on my LAN.
If this kind of legislation passes, I simply won’t pay for internet. If both ISPs and telecoms start restricting devices, then I’ll forego cell-based data as well. If public wifi spots become too restrictive, I won’t patron those spots either. I’ve accumulated more offline content on my server than I could ever consume in many lifetimes, so it really isn’t a loss. Hell, it’d be an opportunity to organize it all well, and share via meshnets. Don’t tempt me with a good time, politicians. I could save money, nerd out, and cut the noise from my information environments? Sign me up!
Don’t want to compete with a potentially capable Linux? Pay the government to make it illegal!
There’s already being work done to add an optional age-attestation in systemd.
And note that none of the laws proposed so far are actually verifying age, they’re only requiring someone to enter it. That’s attestation, not verification. Verification will be the next tightening of the screw.
They reverted the change and the Dev who made merge request got death threats.
Was it actually reverted? I saw the PR to revert the change, but last I checked it was closed and not approved
Quit trying to make it happen
