Stupid peasants don't want to scan their faces and upload their passports for processing by clearing houses run by exit Unit 8200 Israeli spies who have given Palantir backdoor access just to go on YouTube stupid peasants
Replying to @jessicaelgot
You’re going to see an incredible amount of fake outrage about facial scans by people who merrily have their faces scanned 20 times a day to use Apple Pay.
Community note
The facial scans for Apple Pay (Face ID) are processed entirely on-device and do not leave the user's phone, unlike social media age verification which involves uploading photos or videos to third-party providers for analysis. support.apple.com/en-us/102381 ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/…

Under the pretext of banning under-16s from social media to “protect the children,” Keir Starmer has snuck in some small print that should make Americans really glad that all the tea was dumped into the Boston harbour back in 1773. Adults will still be “allowed” to use the platforms… once they’ve handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child. So it was never really about the kids. It was about making sure every single person who wants to speak online has to first tell the government exactly who they are. Step 1: Link your real identity to your speech Step 2: police have a lovely searchable database of every spicy take, meme, or complaint you’ve ever posted Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debunking, for out-of-bounds speech The UK is in a free fall.
🚨 SUMMARY: The UK's social media ban for children from early 2027: - "User-to-user" apps where people create, share and interact with content (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, X, Facebook) will be banned for under-16s - WhatsApp, Signal and YouTube Kids will be exempt - Under-16s will also be banned from livestreaming, messaging strangers on gaming apps like Discord and using disappearing messages - 16 and 17 year olds will face nightly social media curfews and limits on infinite scrolling with more details next month - AI "romantic companion" chatbots will be banned for under-18s - Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards

US policy in the Middle East is being driven by fundamentalist nutters "Mike Huckabee says it would be ‘fine’ if Israel took all Middle East land. Trump ally tells Tucker Carlson Israel has biblical right to land from ‘wadi of Egypt to the great river’" theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Israeli soldiers posted footage today of the uninterrupted demolition of displaced Lebanese homes in southern Lebanon, joking as they defy the so-called US-Iran deal that supposedly required Israel to stop such actions in Lebanon.

Guess which country builds technology for facial recognition and mass surveillance.
JUST IN: UK Government clarifies adults will still be able to use social media by verifying their identities with digital IDs, facial recognition, passports and credit cards.

"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.” Milan Kundera

Or to put it another way, protest outside synagogue hosting a real estate sale by companies who routinely market properties in llegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land. As for " scary" only thing fitting that description was the initimidating racism and threats from counter demonstrators. Then again your take is par for course from man who ran to be Mayor from the foundation of casual Islsmophobia.
Scary protests outside a synagogue today, against Jewish people buying homes in Israel… demonstrating exactly why Jewish people might want a home in the Jewish state

It's strange that the Social Media bans in Australia and now the UK have come after Israel and their supporters have become horribly unpopular. You might suspect an ulterior motive.

After passing two death penalty laws in six weeks, Israel is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to try to execute Palestinians on live TV. Unanimous support for the laws shows that Israeli society can unite around “death to Palestinians.” mondoweiss.net/2026/06/the-p…

This man is desperate to get the keys to No. 10. But did you know about the secret connection between Andy Burnham and a weapons company complicit in air strikes in Gaza? This is the scandal Burnham does NOT want voters to know about…🧵

HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists carried out a pogrom in the village of Deir Dibwan in the West Bank. They tried to set a mosque on fire, torched several vehicles in front of it, and poured gasoline on an elderly man in an attempt to burn him alive.
