"If lawmakers picture under-13 social media use as a bunch of kids lying about their age and sneaking onto apps behind their parents’ backs, they’ve got it wrong. Serious studies that have looked at this all find the opposite: most under-13 use is out in the open, with parents’ knowledge, and often with their direct help."

"A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet," talk by @pluralistic - largely in his role as an activist member of @eff . Because we all have a special, general purpose.

I donated to #eff as I think they do great work trying keep our internet free. They also have nice things like privacybadger extension. Check them out. They do hope to unlock matching funds if they get enough members before the year ends.
An amazing resource by EFF around age verification on the internet.

EFF launches a hub on rising age-verification laws, noting risks of surveillance and reduced access for youth and adults. 🔍
These mandates often rely on intrusive ID or biometric checks that expose sensitive data. 🔒
Experts will discuss impacts in upcoming AMA and livestream. 🎙️

@eff we're sad to hear about the Electronic Frontier Alliance being closed. We were actually working on being stable enough to join as a new organization. Hoping to still get connected through your national campaigns and to connect with other organizations in Florida and the US.
Could you give more color as to why the program was closed?

Papers please, comrade ...
"Politicians and tech companies love using these terms interchangeably because it obscures what they're actually proposing. A law that requires "age assurance" sounds reasonable and moderate. But if that law defines age assurance as requiring government ID verification, it's not moderate at all—it's mass surveillance."

En los últimos años he donado a la #EFF, a #ElementaryOS, a la #FSF, a #veedeo, a #mastodon, a la instancia aus(.)social, a #KDE, a #Notable, a #Signal, a la #Wikipedia, he comprado aplicaciones y suscripciones por el mero hecho de que son los canales de ingresos para los proyectos (p.e., simplelogin), ¿he donado a #Fedora?, creo que sí pero lo volveré a hacer, y he tenido un presupuesto mensual para patreons y apoyos puntuales.
Casi seguro me olvido de más de dos.
Apoya 👏 Lo 👏 Que 👏 Usas 👏
