I respect Messi’s greatness, but I’m fully convinced he’s going goal‑less this World Cup and Argentina are getting grouped. He holds them back. Bookmark this and come back when it happens.

I’m actually a child online safety expert and was one of the pioneers in this space with Club Penguin and so I feel uniquely positioned to critique this. The groomer problem is real but it’s also vastly overstated. The far larger issue we saw at Penguin was suicidality or reports of sexual abuse in the home. There is no solution for lazy/bad parenting. You can implement all the ID laws you want but if parents are going to just hand kids their phones unlocked, those kids will have access to all the same things the parents have unfettered. What I found is that these draconian safety laws actually make it harder to be an honest operator of kids apps because on one hand it’s so much legal risk and so much user friction that it simply becomes uninvestible as a business. Parents will just lie to let their kids use the unfettered internet. For example, I have a friend who works in mobile gaming who has two kids, one above and one below the age limit but separated by just 2 yrs, and the two wanted to play and chat together on Roblox - which is reasonable. To do this, he just verified that his younger kid is old enough for the chat feature when he’s not. This happens all the time and will happen with these laws to. How far do we want to go with this? Scan the face of the user in real-time to make sure it’s not a kid using the device? We could do that but it feels like a massive unwanted intrusion of privacy. That’s how you know this law isn’t about kids. COPPA and GDPR-K and so forth already make it illegal to allow chat and other grooming vectors to kids. What’s really being done here is trying to eliminate online anonymity. And this is a far bigger issue that goes to core speech rights because if you cannot criticize the govt anonymously and if wrong speech is a crime then it becomes easy to identify all the detractors of the govt in power, and ban, fine or jail them for speech crimes. Starmer has already been doing this and he wants to do it at a much bigger scale. Starmer won’t even acknowledge the problem of actual grooming gangs in Britain’s neighborhoods but he’s worried about online grooming? No he’s not, and this hypocrisy gives away the game. What he wants is to kill online anonymity so he can enforce censorship of his unpopular policies. No politician should have this power.
My first instinct was to support the UK’s social media ban for under 16s. Protecting children from grooming, exploitation and harmful content seems like common sense. But I’m seeing a lot of opposition to it, so I’m genuinely curious as to why? One thing making me second guess is that platforms like bluesky are exempt, while at the same time there’s a push to let 16 year olds vote. To me that looks less like child protection and more like controlling where young people get their information. Interested to hear other perspectives.

“What’s my approval rating?” - It’s bad Mr Prime Minister. It’s -43. It’s
it’s in the mud. “Could it get lower?” - I mean anything COULD happen but realistically- “Kill the ponies.” - Wha- “The ponies. The cute little ponies. Kill them.” - Sir, they’re endangered “Fuck ‘em. Make the call.”
Exclusive from @oliver_wright Dartmoor ponies could be subject to mass culling to reduce the impact on biodiversity after a controversial ruling by the government’s environmental quango Natural England has demanded that all livestock grazing on the moor is reduced by about 75 per cent to protect other habitats, plants and species The move looks set to result in the culling of up to nine in ten of the semi-wild ponies as farmers prioritise their own cattle and sheep to remain within Natural England’s limit to minimise the impact on their own livelihoods Natural England argued that the move was necessary to protect the diversity of Dartmoor, which is a designated site of special scientific interest However, the plan goes against a government commissioned review into the future of Dartmoor, published two years ago, which concluded that Natural England “should not take actions likely to result in a reduction in pony numbers”, adding they were “invaluable for conservation grazing” The move has led to claims that the quango is acting as judge, jury and executioner of the ponies — a species which is itself seen as endangered Dartmoor ponies could be put to death under biodiversity plans thetimes.com/article/ba529f3

How about fuck off? He's a tyrant.
May I gently point out - the person you casually refer to as "Starmer" - is actually the democratically elected Prime Minister. Would it not be courteous to refer to him in those terms ? At least respect the office of PM if not the individual in post.

It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

It's so infuriating that we have so many dipshits like this that can't see what this actually is. They will go along like moronic sheep instead of seeing that this is Starmer's way of forcing digital ID on everybody.
I hate Labour, but I don’t see how anyone is opposed to this. Kids do not need social media, it’s incredibly harmful. We also can’t trust parents to parent effectively nowadays, so something has to be done đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™‚ïž

The most tyrannical PM we have ever had, and instead of just being up front about it, he uses the "but think of the children" way of forcing it all through. He's an insincere scumbag who's one and only goal is mass surveillance of the whole nation through Digital ID.
We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

Like we all said would happen. Nothing to do with kids, everything to do with nation wide surveillance. Anybody that votes for Labour, or the Tory, will forever be a traitor to the freedoms your grandfathers and great grandfathers fought for.
🚹 NEW: The UK social media ban for under-16s will be enforced through facial recognition, digital IDs, credit cards, open banking, passports, mobile provider checks or email age estimation

Back in the day, if these companies mistreated their users, the users would move on to something else. These days though, they keep taking the abuse. I left Chrome years ago, then they blocked Ublock and ruined any chance of ever winning me back. Just leave, it's that easy.
‌ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through. Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers. For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."

It's almost as if it was planned all along... Do people not realise the Online Safety Act is the silent engine that is driving the mass rollout of Digital ID across the UK? We tried to tell you in May 2021... That Act created the 'demand' for identity verification as a prelude to the Data (Use and Access) and Children's Wellbeing and Schools Acts. It's the classic playbook: engineer the problem, stoke the chaos, and sell the pre-planned 'solution.' Yet people still blind themselves to the trap, actively participating in building the very digital cage that locks them in.
Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law. Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.

👉 Yoti, plateforme de vĂ©rification d'Ăąge, aurait "signalĂ©" un utilisateur aux autoritĂ©s pour dĂ©tection d'usage de @GrapheneOS Voici ce qui s'est passĂ©. Un utilisateur tente de vĂ©rifier son Ăąge sur PlayStation Network via @getyoti . Son appareil tourne sous GrapheneOS. Le scan Ă©choue Ă  rĂ©pĂ©tition, 8 Ă  10 fois. Il contacte le support Yoti pour comprendre. La rĂ©ponse arrive de help@yoti[.]com : "Due to past security concerns, Yoti automatically flags multiple verification attempts and any devices running GrapheneOS. These instances are automatically reported to both the authorities and our security team." Traduction : "En raison de problĂšmes de sĂ©curitĂ© passĂ©s, Yoti signale automatiquement les tentatives de vĂ©rification multiples ainsi que tout appareil fonctionnant sous Gra
"En raison de problĂšmes de sĂ©curitĂ© passĂ©s, Yoti signale automatiquement les tentatives de vĂ©rification multiples ainsi que tout appareil fonctionnant sous GrapheneOS. Ces cas sont automatiquement signalĂ©s aux autoritĂ©s ainsi qu'Ă  notre Ă©quipe de sĂ©curitĂ©." L'utilisateur avait fourni ses vrais documents d'identitĂ©. Il n'a pas contournĂ© quoi que ce soit. C'est le systĂšme de Yoti qui semble avoir Ă©chouĂ© Ă  les traiter. Pourquoi ? GrapheneOS restreint les APIs camĂ©ra et biomĂ©triques. Un scan qui fonctionne sur Android stock peut Ă©chouer en boucle sur GrapheneOS. L'Ă©chec rĂ©pĂ©tĂ© n'est pas une fraude. C'est une incompatibilitĂ© technique. Evidemment, il est trĂšs facile de dĂ©tecter qu'un smartphone utilise GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS n'est interdit nulle part. C'est un Android open source durci, utilisĂ© par des journalistes, des avocats, des chercheurs en sĂ©curitĂ©, et des gens comme vous et moi, soucieux de leur sĂ©curitĂ©. Mais pour Yoti, l'utiliser suffirait Ă  vous classer comme suspect. En vertu de quoi ? Soit Yoti signale effectivement quelqu'un, quelque part, pour avoir utilisĂ© un OS lĂ©gal. Soit c'est une formule boilerplate conçue pour faire peur. Dans les deux cas, c'est un problĂšme. Si c'est rĂ©el : aucun texte n'impose Ă  un prestataire de vĂ©rification d'Ăąge de signaler aux forces de l'ordre un utilisateur dĂ©tectĂ© sous GrapheneOS. C'est une politique unilatĂ©rale sans base lĂ©gale identifiable. Si c'est un bluff : menacer un utilisateur d'une procĂ©dure lĂ©gale fictive est une pratique commerciale dĂ©loyale dans la plupart des juridictions. En revanche, ce que ça rĂ©vĂšle, c'est que petit Ă  petit, utiliser des OS alternatifs va entraĂźner des restrictions, des suspicions, pour mieux permettre de dĂ©ployer leurs systĂšmes de rĂ©gulations. Et demain, ce ne sera pas seulement GrapheneOS. À chaque Ă©tape, on nous dira que c’est pour la sĂ©curitĂ©, pour les enfants, pour la lutte contre la fraude, pour la conformitĂ©. Mais Ă  la fin, le rĂ©sultat sera le mĂȘme : l’utilisateur qui cherche Ă  se protĂ©ger devra se justifier, tandis que l’utilisateur entiĂšrement traçable sera considĂ©rĂ© comme normal. C’est cette inversion qu’il faut refuser. La vie privĂ©e ne doit pas devenir une circonstance aggravante. La sĂ©curitĂ© numĂ©rique ne doit pas devenir un marqueur de suspicion. Et les infrastructures de vĂ©rification d’ñge ne doivent pas devenir des postes-frontiĂšres privĂ©s oĂč des entreprises privĂ©es dĂ©cident, dans l’opacitĂ©, quels appareils sont acceptables et quels utilisateurs mĂ©ritent d’ĂȘtre signalĂ©s. Si Yoti confirme cette pratique, il faudra demander sur quelle base juridique repose ce signalement, quelles autoritĂ©s sont destinataires, quelles donnĂ©es sont transmises, combien d’utilisateurs sont concernĂ©s, combien de temps ces informations sont conservĂ©es, et quels recours sont offerts aux personnes faussement signalĂ©es. Et si Yoti ne la confirme pas, il faudra expliquer pourquoi son support a pu Ă©crire une telle chose Ă  un utilisateur.
