The point of these laws is to outlaw anonymity, linux would just become illegal for the average user despite how impossible that is to enforce. Their goal is to absolute control of the internet.

The intent us to let you assume what they the government and tech corporations mean by "age verification" is you just tell them your age and provide the proof, and discuss WHY and if it's a good idea and not know HOW they're going to do it, until this passes and it's too late.

Reminder that "age verification" = Persona = Palantir + Peter Thiel = that thing that makes you take a mug shot from all angles and open your mouth and then creates a profile of all personal information (fingerprints political views sexual orientation friends and family) and forwards that to ICE.

Stand up and fight against this. Mass surveillance is a nightmare, and we're already living in a world where everyone knows what, where I'm doing....

Reddit User Uncovers Who Is Behind Meta’s $2B Lobbying for Invasive Age Verification Tech Meta funneled $2B through nonprofit shells to push age verification laws targeting Apple and Google while exempting its own platforms from surveillance requirements.

California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup AB 1043 also requires OS providers to pipe a real-time age checker to every app developer who requests it.

Mass. House passes bill to ban kids under 14 from social media The legislation would also prohibit cellphone use during the school day.

🪡🧵The MA State House advanced HB 5349, a draconian, unconstitutional bill to ban minors from social media, force platforms to enable parental surveillance of teens’ online activity & subject everyone to online ID checks to access info or speak out online. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

The new ACIP charter includes liaison memberships for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Physicians for Informed Consent, and the Independent Medical Alliance.

None of these are expert societies and all of them have a history of disseminating antivaccine propaganda.

Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) are longtime promoters of AIDS denialism - 2007 example here from Loch Ness Monster aficionado Henry Bauer www.jpands.org/vol12no4/bau...

I wish more people understood the terror disabled people face when dealing with housing insecurity, poverty and unsafe caregivers.

Many in the community are forced to rely on abusive people for survival.

It shouldn’t be this way.

We desperately need more support & resources.

More proof that Republicans wanted to withhold TSA funding to cause airport chaos for negotiating leverage. Everything they said about airports being a mess over the past two weeks is exactly what they wanted.

Your VPN Might Be a Government Surveillance Magnet VPN users may trigger government surveillance by appearing foreign to U.S. intelligence agencies, potentially losing constitutional protections.

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been transforming a government that long championed vaccines into one that questions their safety.

This is what could happen over the next 25 years if shots are unavailable even to the people who want them.

I am very annoyed that people think 'rich' means 'that guy has a mercedes and takes a vacation to italy once a year' and not 'that guy has more money than 40% of the world combined and can decide to start or stop wars based on his personal prejudices'

the sums involved are incomprehensible

SCIENCE IS UNDER CENSORSHIP. “WOMEN” “VACCINE” “EQUITY” “ADDICTION” FROM PEN AMERICA’S LIST OF WORDS BANNED FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORK.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

T-Mobile Makes It a Little Harder for AT&T, Verizon Users to Access Cellular Starlink Signing up for the free, T-Satellite beta program could be done entirely online. But now T-Mobile wants customers on rival carriers to call or visit a store to get access.

The upsell is not dead ….

@melodyschreiber.com reported in @theguardian.com that Hooker exposed himself to measles, claims to have contracted measles, and traveled to California without a care in the world for the people he might expose along the way. This is wildly irresponsible and unethical.

Seems clear the administration’s eventual goal is no contraception, no antidepressants, no abortion and care from the fine folks at the new “fertility clinics” from the title X funding

Jim O’Neill: Unfit to Be the #2 Health Care Leader in America - Public Citizen

If you think RFK Jr is dangerous, O’Neil is IMO just as bad. He wants drugs approved based on minimal studies and then people can just take them and, you know, we’ll see who gets better and who dies! www.citizen.org/article/jim-...

They are trying to force Harvard to admit more conservative students.

Pardon me, but that sounds an awful lot like DEI, only DEI for stupid people.

The authors of this book have been extremely transparent about their view that we should have let more people die during the pandemic to save a few points of GDP.

Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’ Exclusive: Melbourne team demonstrates way to make the virus visible within white blood cells, paving the way to fully clear it from the body A cure for HIV could be a step closer after researchers found a new way to force the virus out of hiding inside human cells. The virus’s ability to conceal itself inside certain white blood cells has been one of the main challenges for scientists looking for a cure. It means there is a reservoir of the HIV in the body, capable of reactivation, that neither the immune system nor drugs can tackle. Continue reading...

Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’

Meghan McCain has hopped on the snake oil grift express and is flogging a fraudulent product to “detox” from the COVID19 vaccine.

It costs $90 for a bottle of 120 pills. The formula was created by none other than Peter McCullough, disgraced anti-science doctor who spreads COVID19 misinformation.
