@Tutanota I can't say what I think without being blocked. There is no freedom to speak unless you are a fascist.

@Tutanota

@Tutanota age verification is not for the teenagers. It’s for the adults. The presumption is you are a teenager unless you can prove otherwise, so basically all Internet users will have to register..

@Tutanota i'm tired, boss.

@Tutanota The reality is that to fight disinformation, misingotmation and scams, only ID verification will work IF and it's a big if, cannot be controlled by governments and corporations, plus the "fake accounts" and bot farms are locked out of Internet, especially social media.
And it ain't going to be good if governments take the lead on developing the solutions.

@Tutanota I'm happy.. I'll start using simple phone or smartphone with minimum services or apps with custom rom.. ☺️😊Atleast it ll give me full time to hangout with my people locally

@Tutanota The thing that annoys me most about all of that is this: They already have my ID.

My ISP, as in the Internet Service Provider that Provides me with the Service of having access to Internet, already required my ID to sign up.

I only have any access to the internet in the first place because I already gave them my ID.

There is absolutely no need for me to hand out my ID to everyone like candy at a halloween party and have one of them leak it because that's five dozen attack vectors.

@Tutanota the other day reporting on Roblox (game platform) some people were happy that the platform added age verification by scanning a photo. So voluntarily having children giving their pictures for facial recognition… (the kids were unimpressed. One 12 years old was identified as 16-17, another claimed to have shown a random photo of an adult)

@Tutanota The new #searchengine pod is excellent!

@Tutanota we need to bring back the old school Internet. Bring back Gopher

Folks... I don't know who was responsible for the Martin Niemöller allegory.

That's really inappropriate.

@Tutanota Hurrah!! Excellent news!! I don’t want young men inducted into pornography and sexual abuse of minors! And I don't want young women inducted into the belief that that kind of abuse is normal! I would like to see high costs for ALL pornography, and the obligation to REGISTER to allow Authorities to verify whether a registered user is guilty of sexual criminal behaviour and abuse!
Maybe YOU like it, and maybe YOU like little children being targeted, but most of us do NOT!

@Tutanota, wow! I’ll instantly delete anything requesting my ID. If you need my verification, please do it through government apps and don’t share my ID with anyone. Something where only a flag like “adult: yes/no” will be exchanged with third parties.

@Tutanota it’s not about age though, is it? It’s about total stasi surveillance

@Tutanota tbh, if there was a method that provides age verification *without* ID being stored and connected to activity, I wouldn't be opposed to it. "age-verified, user is at least xyz years old" needs to be nothing more than a flag containing exactly that information, no more.

@Tutanota we are ready to take hands back on old nokias xD

@Tutanota As if you don't do it too

@Tutanota

Sadly, lots of people online think this is for the good and important to protect children...

Like if the fact that some parents doesn't want to take care of their children is enough to force everyone to be monitored...
