@cwebber Aha, it is our sweaty nazi pal Peter Thiel again. Trust me: no progress in that corner, only usurping. Thiel offers 'cultural protection' like any mafia does: unwanted, without asking, and there is violence involved.

@cwebber I will delete my Discord accounts at the moment age verification will be mandatory.

@cwebber I reckon @neil will love this.

@cwebber I still find it 'hilarious' that noone cared when it was just the UK facing age verification, because 'haha, serves them right for living in a facsist state'

@cwebber I'm mostly surprised that Discord isn't already linked to Thiel given that he's one of the most prolific investors in the Valley. He missed a trick there.

@cwebber Given Europe's love of all-encompassing domestic surveillance, one wonders if handing over a gift to the Palantir ghouls (and everyone in advertising) wasn't maybe the whole of the reason why all the politicians pushed for age-gated social media to begin with.
