1/ Online age verification is the hill to die on.
Not a fight you can sit out. Not a battle you can skip. Not a policy you can afford to ignore while you focus on something else.
This is it. This is the line. This is the infrastructure that enables every other piece of the digital control grid.
If we lose this fight, we lose everything.

I wonder whether it’s discovering vulnerabilities or getting them fixed that’s actually scarier about Mythos

Few know but, the true father of "retardmaxx", "Move forward. Go", "e/acc", "Move fast and break things", "execution over ideas" is Stalin, J. (1942). Order No. 227 ("Not one step back!"). Also Russian cosmism predated Land's accelerationism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia…

Incompetent coders will *continue* to attribute the issues to the wrong side of the screen.

Good. The "protection"-disguised bullet against privacy backfired in EU🇪🇺

A quick update on the infamous EU “ChatControl” 🇪🇺
What a turn of events in EU tech policy: from potential mandatory mass scanning of data (“ChatControl”) → to even voluntary scans losing their legal basis (for now).
Just months ago, fears were growing around mandatory scanning of private communications in the EU (incl. pictures and videos).
Now, talks between the EU Council (Member States) and the European Parliament have collapsed - and the result is a complete reversal.
As of April 3, even voluntary scanning of data by platforms loses its legal basis under EU privacy (ePrivacy & GDPR) rules, as the temporary exemption was not extended.
A striking example of how fast EU tech policy can turn - and a big win for European privacy advocates.
