Google did this to build a data center in Finland.
It was illegal, but they did it anyway.
Big Tech is out of control.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

once again:
if tech is SO dangerous to kids…
why do parents keep giving kids something SO dangerous?
why not get them a dumb phone or heavily restrict their access to apps/internet?
I do not understand this “problem” bc it’s actually very solvable *right now*.

Not sharing Palantir's manifesto - and that is what it is. A private company calling for a new world order, one that seeks to oppress all of humanity and suggest they should have total power.
Palantir should be treated as an enemy of humanity. Sci-fi movie apocalyptic villains.

The fact that we didn't have a major outcry when the little bit of legislation that came out against these guys amounted to nothing is nothing short of criminal. We need to bring back the major outcry

Unless you speak up, soon you won’t be allowed to use a computer or phone without scanning your face and sharing your ID to some honeypot (which will eventually be hacked).
The full text for HR 8250, the proposed Federal law which would require all Operating Systems to implement Age Verification, has just been made publicly available.
It is short, poorly written, clearly not at all thought out, and almost entirely devoid of specifics.
Some key points:
- The bill does not specify how age verification would work at all. It states that the Federal Trade Commission would have 180 days to specify the exact mechanism and requirements for Age Verification within the Operating Systems.
- The Federal Trade Commission would also specify data storage protection requirements as well as requirements for how the Operating System must provide access to collected user data.
- This bill would apply to ALL Operating Systems. Everything from Windows to Linux to embedded systems. Yes, even to a smart refrigerator. The “Operating System” definition is incredibly broad.
- The law will be considered in effect 1 year from the date it is enacted.
- Violations of the law will be handled under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
- It is given the “Short Title” of “Parents Decide Act”.

Why is it that European parents have no ability to delete these apps off their kids' phones?
Why does it always have to be the government making the call, and why does the government's call always involve censoring adults as well?
Answer: because censorship is the point
Here's a strong statement by Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, on why Spain & Europe are moving decisively to protect children from social media:

OS level age verification will be a net negative. Teens will download software claiming to be a sort of bypass/crack only to get their devices rooted by malicious actors who then blackmail them.
There is a reason they want these laws to pass at the same time globally, so we can't watch it be a dramatic failure somewhere else. Of course it won't fail at it's primary goal, becoming an internet ID for criminalizing dissent.

“They wanted to close up the strait again…as they've been doing for years,” Trump said Saturday. But Iran hasn't been closing the strait "for years." To the contrary. The Strait is closed because of Trump's war. It's an indictment of his policy, so he lies about the history.

Women who hate men generally just hate what men have done to them.
Whereas men who hate women, mostly just hate what women won’t do for them.
The difference is crucial
Men have earned the animus of women.
Incels are just angry have-nots.

My contribution to the “200 pages a day” discourse is that some people read slower than others and I don’t think it’s accurate to imply they’re less literate. Literacy is about your ability to process information, not how fast you can read words

How the hell is everything so expensive when all we've done for 40+ years is give corporations the tax breaks they swore they needed to hire workers and lower prices?

KALLAS: Russia keeps attacking other countries. How many frozen conflicts surround Russia? In the last 100 years, Russia attacked at least 19 countries, some of them multiple times. None of these countries ever attacked Russia.
We must ensure that Russia no longer constitutes a threat to its neighboring countries. And we must create a situation in which Russia is compelled to enter into genuine negotiations.
They are only pretending to negotiate now because they are waiting for Americans to implement so-called Alaska agreement. That means giving Russia entire Donbas and all their maximum demands.

ANOTHER DAY AND STILL NOT A SINGLE ONE of the many rich & powerful men, who abused and raped the girls & women trafficked by Epstein, has been arrested for these unspeakably heinous crimes.
A huge amount of evidence exists.
WHY do these vile, predatory rapists have impunity?

If Digital ID and CBDC were good things they wouldn’t have to lie about them or hide what they’re doing.

I think it’s bad that the FBI director is being paid by the Russian government.
