Prepare noncompliance by downloading open source apps & watching which linux distro refuses the demand for age verification.
We have had computers for long enough. We dont need to verify our ages to use them.

As for us: we must keep calling. Everyone. Governor, state legislatures, congressional reps, etc. Dont stop till we win.

Sad news I discovered: apparently Illinois HB5511(OS-level age verification) passed the Judiciary Civil Committee March 25.

Its frustrating to see democrats continue to buy into this false notion.
#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION
I promise you if this passes, I will still be yelling at people not to comply, tell them to keep calling to annoy your reps, and teach people ecery method of noncompliance.
Being a drone is no way to live. You deserve online privacy.
#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION
Stop fucking sleepwalking into finding the "safest form of compliance." Fight back. Resist. Do not comply. Call your state reps to vote NO on this shit. ESPECIALLY THIS USELESS GOVERNOR.

All laws on age verification, assurance, or attestation are dangerous for adults and children, no matter how tiny the data pool. It builds compliance, and the next governor may ask for more data. More ID. More biometrics.
#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION
Even if its a 1-time code & even if there's a clause to have data deleted by parental consent, it builds infastructure for a surveillance panopticon in Illinois, a BLUE FUCKING STATE.
Any and all forms of AVing must be opposed and shamed.
#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION
5) OS-level AVing is basically ransomeware. "Give us your birthdate/ID/Passport/biometrics or you cant use your device c:"
6) Having to fit an "age bracket" to use your device, especially for adults who use devices for years, is fucking dumb
#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION
2) If you don't want kids' data collected, advocate for data protection laws & privacy protection laws.
3) Promote parental controls that are already in place on sites & devices.
4) OS-level age verification STILL causes fucking censorship.
#savespeech #notodigitalID #NOTOOSAGEVERIFICATION
This delusion that OS-level age verification is "so good and safe" needs to stop
1) This isn't Illinois' version of KOSA, but its OS-level age verification. Look how badly Apple implimented it in the UK and tell me how good it is
#savespeech #stopcensorship #privacy #notodigitalID
You're a dummy if you think the face-scan stuff is particularly private.
Not even EU's "privacy-friendly" digital ID idea is private anymore. bsky.app/profile/epic...
