Online Privacy Guide v1.0 Digital privacy is for everyone, that includes your neighbor, your mother, your mates. It needs to be easy to understand, show clear progress and be achievable in little snippets. jaquesbody.github.io/onlinep… 1/4

Don’t take it from me. Take it from one of the internet’s greatest pioneers @jimmy_wales

For some reason what children want to do is seen as antithetical to them having a childhood. Actually it is the determining trait of mainstream views about childhood; preventing children from doing what they want.

UK ‘public consultation’ on the social media ban notice how they didn’t give the option to say no? Illusion of democracy.

There's no way to ban under 16s without age verifying everyone, which means ID checks or face scans to log on for every adult in the country. Thats the actual prize here, ID locking the whole internet and ending anonymity, and "for the children" is just the trojan horse to sell it. Parents can already keep their kids off social media, they dont need a surveillance state to do it for them.

This, every day of the school year. It's shocking.

When will we see the results of the ban, that's why you're doing this right? When will the kids be safe? When will they have glowing mental health? Improved grades? Better socializing skills? Better manners? Greater attention spans? When?

I was always a shy introvert. Social media helped me find friends, people who share my interests. Damn, I can use this app to speak with people like @DavidDeutschOxf, @naval, @LynAldenContact and many others. Puting aside the surveillance argument, this is just sad for kids.

Parental agency, evidence-based defaults, and minimal surveillance are all possible without resorting to dystopian surveillance states. That the tools already exist begs the question, why don't they use them instead? But we know the answer already.

if you don't want to be totally surveilled and controlled, you are a poopy face.

They blocked the payments. They banned the film. They couldn't stop either. This trailer comes to you directly. No studio. No middleman. thesixbilliondollarman.com

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.

Most of our problems are caused by politicians trying to come up with solutions to earlier problems that they themselves had created. ⬇️

Nothing to do with digotal ID rollout I guess. Do people still fall for this stuff.?

Age verification is the Trojan horse for complete control of the internet. Imagine you'd have to register your identity to read a newspaper. That's what this is about. They say it's for the children, but it really is about taking away your right to use the web anonymously.

this is much, much, much worse than it sounds there's an argument for social media being bad for children but this should be up to the parents to modulate, not bureaucrats who think they own you to enforce this, you have to enforce collecting personal information of i) children (which is insane) but also ii) literally everyone since you cant distinguish age beforehand which means mandatory state surveillance for absolutely everyone now combine that with new AI cybersecurity and unstructured data capabilities and you get both: i) more draconian and complicated controls and profiling by the state for a LIFETIME and ii) your personal information almost certainly being hacked and leaked to thousands of criminals. that is children's sensitive information getting in the hands of bad guys at internet scale privacy in crypto is not enough, but if done right, it is crucial, as it can spearhead advancing tech like FHE and ZK while also helping fund new privacy projects in all sectors private capital and money is upstream of the resistance everyone will need

nothing to do with "stopping under 16s". everything to do with total surveillance of everybody.

today, we’re one step closer
