More Perfect Union The Wall Street Journal Zuckerberg is the same person driving the online verification bullshit going on ATM. That's a worrying sign.

Observe: The speed at which "protecting children" shifted to "digital ID" They're not even trying to hide it anymore. ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/…

The Associated Press What BS excuse for not taking responsibility for your own kids. What it tells me is that jury was made up of morons. The evidence is cursory at best and the data cherry picked. On top of this..., this isnt addiction, its compulsive behavior. Again, parents need to reign in

More Perfect Union The Wall Street Journal None of those people should be anywhere near the government

The Associated Press Jon Krawczynski Take your kids phones and tablets away and kick their asses outside. Quit using them as a nanny and spend time with your children and you’ll learn that all they needed was attention and affection.

“Mommy did we always need biometrics to go online?” No, some chick’s shitty parents didn’t keep her off the internet as a child and she didn’t learn how to knit and have an Etsy shop or some shit and they sued and well here we are.

The Associated Press You could just take your kids' phones away - better yet, don't give them a phone until 13.

They're gonna make us all have to show ID just to listen to music.

The Associated Press This is terrible. McDonalds is not to blame for you being fat; you are. Holding a company liable for the actions of its users has horrible reverse implications for the utility of the platforms overall. Very stupid and shortsighted verdict.

This is disgusting and I can’t wait for the appeals. The precedent set by YouTube being liable for screen-time addiction is kind of scary. Treating algorithms like a defective product opens the door to endless lawsuits over “addictive” tech. What’s next? Books, video games,

🚨 AOC: "Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government."

The verdict against Meta and YouTube is a victory for the plaintiffs bar—not for children or society. on.wsj.com/4dbcy3P

Axios Josh Hawley i see Josh Hawley is retweeting you. and you decide to lie here. so~ META quietly funded age gate legislation- ask yourself why. (selling data, selling advertisers "real users") NO ONE wants this legislation. You are all gross and disgusting for lying and defying the will of

This California jury’s ruling against Meta and Google is honestly wild. If social media platforms can be held liable for “causing harm” via “addiction,” what *won’t* fit that standard? I think parents should limit screen time, especially for very young kids, but come on, people.

here's the Wall Street Journal Opinion editorial page with a take similar to my own regarding what we can think of as the coming "addictive design racket," or what the Journal labels the "social-media shakedown." It's an absolute jackpot win for trial lawyers. x.com/i/status/20369…

what's funny is the result they want will means jack shit it will not protect kids. Only things they do is violate everyone's rights and puts everyone at risk identity theft.

The Verdict Against Meta and Google That Could End the Anonymous Internet reclaimthenet.org/meta-youtube-n…

The chain from these verdicts to surveillance architecture runs through a single word: “addiction.” Public health emergency follows from that classification. Emergency powers follow from the emergency. Age verification follows from emergency powers. OS-level ID checks follow

EckhartsLadder Censoring trans people off the internet and making everyone, including immigrants and children, scan their faces to use a weather app doesn’t “protect children” hope that helps!

literally like can everyone PLEASE look beyond the headlines on this? lawyers are going to see this 'win' against Big Tech and unleash a storm of expensive lawsuits that will end up with social media platforms just limiting what you can and can't say bc "harm" is vague
