The generation that brags about being latchkey kids who had it good growing up because they could go out and do whatever they want are the same ones forcing their kids onto 24/7 monitoring apps and making sure they're tucked into bed by 9pm on Fridays until they're 25 years old

propaganda im not falling for. why are women expected to play mother all the time? this video looks like a nightmare

“Avec l’aide de la justice francaise” sans préciser que c’est un francais qui était à la tête du réseau ?

Vous vous souveniez l'époque où nos gouvernements, médias et autres décideurs critiquaient la politique autoritaire de la Chine qui consistait à fliquer sa population sur internet et via reconnaissance faciale ? Ouais moi aussi je me souviens, c'était bien cette époque

The push for ID verification online and the rise of AI being forced everywhere are not coincidences, you should care about this stuff

I love how kpop fans pretend kpop is like some indigenous musical practice that we have to treat like anthropologists, rather than music created expressly for the global capitalist market by riffing off on the success of Black American music & American pop

People don’t seem to understand that humans need joy on a biological level. You are not doing the right thing by acting like small celebrations are a betrayal.

the AUDACITY of discord to force everyone to scan their full face or submit their government-issued ID & then go “trust me bro, it’ll get deleted” 6 months after they had a third party data breach

Thinking of that Defunctland video about AI companies using Disneyland to test robotics and Ring using "lost dogs" to market surveillance tech and drones using the Olympics to track people in real-time at high speeds
