Remember, discord is -still- planning to do this in around a month or two. Cancel your nitro, but ALSO call your reps and tell them that online Id/ age verification policy is an unsafe invasion of privacy www.congress.gov/members/find...

That shit is purposefully vague. Why? Because it'll let the worst people deem what's best for kids to be protected from, and as you can see from this regime? They have the worst of intentions and don't give a single fuck about kids. Fight this shit so it finally dies off.

"Governor Evers’ veto won’t stop the movement. But it provides a template for the argument that needs to be made more often and more loudly: that the Constitution doesn’t permit the government to build a checkpoint at the entrance to the internet, no matter how sympathetic the justification."

"nobody wants to work" I WANT TO WORK GIVE ME A FUCKING JOB

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

slightly late upload, but a lil gift for my QPP @themiraculousec.bsky.social of her diamandian girlypop nyssa!! happy 14th friendiversary, EC!! <><><> [ #art #artsky #oc #ocsky #originalcharacter | #thediamandianguard ]

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

This is why we need comprehensive data privacy protections. The surveillance capitalist business model will always run the risk of exposing user data for profit, often without users understanding the risks.

This year's friendiversery piece for my qpp @starlingharley.bsky.social ! This is his OC Erzsebet. Happy 14 years! <><><> [ #ec_art | #digitalart | #artsky | #oc #ocsky #originalcharacter | #thisisyourgodsspeaking ]

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

look, i understand that i'm kinda shouting into a void here, but this cannot be ignored. this is URGENT, and we need serious resistance against this flagrant disregard of free speech. @eff.org @fightforthefuture.org @evangreer.bsky.social @aclu.org @nyclu.org

Reminder that the OCC'S debankment findings specifically name adult entertainment. There's not only awareness but a will to call it out so let's push. Call your reps, etc www.occ.gov/news-issuanc...

I read through the article and through the letters sent to these paypros and you guys should too (like please actually read them, don't rely on me). It specifically cites religious and political views but the language is wide open. This is good

Hey if youre in the EU you should act on this ASAP, theyre really trying to ram this through

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video platform Sora after it flopped Disney is now exiting their $1B deal with OpenAI

“It’s inevitable” “you can’t roll it back” “you just have to accept it”

people are making Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny bits right now because of Chuck Norris's death and I think its important to note that today is also literally Mr. Rogers' birthday

When calling your reps, bring this up to them. It's not a hypothetical, it's a real and genuine threat.

Keep pestering your reps to protect Section 230

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

The Nazi newspaper Der Sturmer would regularly publish a segment called "Jewish Crimes." The owner of the newspaper was hanged at Nuremberg.

Remember, these bills are supported by a group of sexually-repressed, far-right hateful bigots that want to terminate our freedom to write queer and NSFW fiction stories and visual art (as well as freedom of expression in general). So don't stop calling your lawmakers like hell everyday! #SaveSpeech

In the light of recent Subscribestar situation I think it's a good time to dust off this post from a while ago. Still very much on point.

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

can't be emphasised enough that no matter how empty Valve's defense of lootboxes sounds, the lawsuit is also a trojan horse to censor violence in games so it's not a good idea to side with it lol

We have to keep complaining: stop-paypros.neocities.org
