"Enacted as regulations of any content "harmful to minors," these could be used against sex educators, sexual health organizations, reproductive freedom groups, sex worker rights advocates, transgender rights advocates, and queer creators of all sorts... It's an urgently needed inquiry."
Age verification is an enterprise including those on the right and left. That is very true. And I recognize that. But my recent piece for The Baffler is about these efforts being led, predominately, by the far-right in the United States. Just saying. thebaffler.com/latest/paper...
Awww, lookin' like a birthday BABE 😍🥳🎊 Hope you're having a fantastic day

Assuming LLMs are sentient because they can "reason" is like assuming your microwave is alive because it's powered by the same electricity our hearts/brains are
@stefanbc.bsky.social 😂😂😂
You should have to opt in to mayonnaise.
I can't scream this loudly enough: It's not social media that sucks, it's not computers that suck, it's not tech that sucks, it's the people who are in control of it. Corporations, capitalism, capitalists, those monstrous little fucks with all the money, *they* suck and they're ruining everything.
If they truly cared about exploitation, groups like NCOSE would be screaming in support of the Sheri's Ranch workers, who say they were pushed to sign an exploitative contract.
But these workers are demanding rights, not rescue, so the "anti-trafficking" industry is silent.

GDPR was designed for a world in which sensitive data had to be actively collected. But what happens when AI systems infer sensitive characteristics without ever being asked to do so? Paul Bouchaud and Pedro Ramacciotti say the social media platform X provides a stark illustration.
"The legislation that the media company had campaigned for. The legislation whose primary targets were the digital competitors of that same company."
Legacy media pushes for age restriction/social media bans because social media platforms have been eating their lunch for decades 🫠
The plot — again and again — is to take a concept that people have very mixed feelings about, like "pornography" (or "late term abortion" or "trans kids") and use it to ram through laws that enable broad censorship and roll back civil rights.
They know what they're doing.
Headline from UnHerd: "UK ban on extreme porn is not anti-freedom"
Labelling someone else's consensual sexuality "extreme" is a time-honored way of limiting sexual freedom and policing sexual practice.
It's been repeatedly used by the state to patrol sex workers, queers, trans people, people of color and kinksters.
Always in the name of protecting society.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe.

This. This. This. Become ungovernable.
Supporting us can look like:
- tip us (before we have to ask)
- vote for decriminalization, against "age verification" laws
- support adjacent initiatives (trans rights 🙏🏻)
- challenge conflation with bullshit "trafficking" claims
and even
- shaming men for looking down on us/on you for booking us
Okay, you can't make fictional step content, but you CAN legally marry your step sibling.
Make it make sense 🤨🙄

I use the OPI one. I also like using their Chip Skip before polishing.
My routine to get polish to stay:
- *lightly* buff nails to remove shine
- clean with rubbing alcohol
- thin layer of base coat
- 2 thin layers of polish (let them FULLY DRY)
- top coat
Maintain by adding thin layer of fresh top coat twice a week. Also touch up polish wear on nail tips regularly.
I'm an OPI girly forever and always 💅🏽✨️
They retaliate. I keep fighting.
David CAN beat Goliath. Documentation is your slingshot. Persistence is your stone.
I won't stop standing up. I won't stop speaking up.

Like all fascisms, the campaign depends on an imagined world where mothers are loving (and nurturing), fathers strong but fair, with everyone's emotional and material needs met.
But rather than confront complicated reality, they just blame queers for ruining it for the rest of them.
Greater than logo
In an unsubtle nod, the "Greater Than" campaign reworks the once-ubiquitous HRC's Marriage Equality "Equal" sign into an unmistakable call for heterosexual superiority.
No offense but if straights are really so superior why are you always stealing our ideas
