I researched and wrote this article that goes into the details of privacy on here. It's written with non-software-engineers in mind and I use as little jargon as possible.

Online age verification is coming, and privacy is on the chopping block The future of the internet could be at stake.

US states and various countries are beginning to pass laws that require verifying user’s ages. The problem is that this is a privacy nightmare.

People have been complaining for years about trackers and targeted ads but having to upload your ID to random websites has gotten nary a peep.

oh yeah, I can’t think too much about how our society utterly wasted the chance to use Covid to make life less shitty, or I’ll go insane

if you compare the world as it is to the ideal world you imagine, instead of the worse world it used to be, you will never be able to tell if you are succeeding at making it better

Like, yes raise minimum wage for sure. Just don’t really see what the drama is that the article is unveiling, seems like clickbait basically imo

Sure! I agree with that. Just doesn’t seem to me like this article is revealing anything particularly new or bad (relative to any other company).

1. They do manual data labelling (we knew that)
2. They pay like fast food wages (for work that’s presumably easier
& safer than food service)

Mm I don’t really think this is much of anything. They never tried to hide that humans label their data, that’s how you improve the model and all that. Also the one person they spoke to is earning 2x min wage in their location.
