"Interesting. I guess because of #Texas #SenateBill2420 #Bluesky now requires age verification via something called #KidsWebServices? (4 digits from SSN, ccard, or photo id). Fuck that. I flat out refuse this nonsense and will work to vote out idiots who support this bill. Here's a list of workarounds (I did it for Brave and it works): gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b… (I used the Method 2. Custom adblock filter rules). What utter nonsense. We do not need this in this country. I would delete my Bluesky account were it not for a fairly painless workaround." #BigTech #corrupt #corruption #privacy https://archive.ph/3M3R4 #TimSweeneyEpic #Sweeney https://archive.ph/C64r1 "Et tu, brute? It comes from within. Epic is an “age verification” owner. Any data retention is a means of selling a product. We are their cattle to harvest and sell numbers. Most people reject this. There is 0 reason for this. All companies should reject these ridiculous demands but there are dollars to be made so they dont actually oppose them entirely. “No no its a solution im one of the good guys. We arent like the other guys”" https://archive.ph/B4prk "#London based. Guess who is pushing age verification on everyone? Hmmm Hm hm hmm. Selling out the people who made you rich. So sad." https://archive.ph/JOfoa "Hes not confident in it because doesnt want to be liable on the no no websites. The reason why the guys bought porn hub wasnt for porn hub, they “ fixed everything” and “made an incredible verification system” and want to sell that. #Pornhub became a proof of concept for their verification system to sell. Issue is no one wants to work with porn hub brand for them. So this just tells me its not very good. Like most age verification. I can bypass #META’s verification with a 2d drawn still image of varka held up to a webcam from my phone. People in #australia were getting around k-id with images of a dog and record covers. What are we doing." https://archive.ph/XFzBx "I wonder why #TimSweeneyEpic was eager to have a #COPPA compliant product. I wonder if he wants to cozy up to regulatory boards? Hmmm so many different threads." https://archive.ph/z7zdz
