hey what the fuck

the twitter lib reaction to Ethel Cain is so reflective of how puritanical most Americans are. no one is coming to your home and flashing ethel cain's dick at you. nudity as an art form is millenia old and sexualizing all naked bodies is a Puritan invention that liberals internalized and propagate.

For real though if you’re going to dismiss the values of people to your left as toddlers railing against bedtime, you should have the strength in your own convictions to name which of their values you think aren’t worth defending. Genocide? Trans issues? Which one is “bedtime?” Brave enough to say?

Well this is fucked. Two steps forward, in terms of Germany and other European countries adopting FOSS, several giant steps back with this absolute dog doo.

SCREAMING THIS FROM THE FUCKING ROOFTOPS

A new report dubbed "BrowserGate" warns that Microsoft's LinkedIn is using hidden JavaScript scripts on its website to scan visitors' browsers for installed extensions and collect device data.

This. This is the point where the idea consistently falls on its head. After all, when the primary “help” you receive is increased police surveilance, and risks for anyone associating with you, you aren't actually being helped, are you..?

i must of heard it late because it seems like Deviantart has already done it but the website is limiting people to 10 free downloads a day, amongst other belt tightening measures. 3d model artists/mmd/ blender users, Winamp skinners, Utau users, ect ect, make sure you have things backed up.

Hurting section 230, through carveouts or court decisions, hurts the entire web. Don't do that. stop doing that. #section230 #defends230 #savespeech #stopcensorship #savetheweb #furry

Anger towards big tech companies exists because these companies harvest and exploit peoples’ data. We should pass laws to stop that. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The whole eIDAS is illegal because of #surveillance but the EU doesn't care about their citizens anymore, does it? We have seen it with #ChatControl, their part with #DigitalOmnibus... ...sorry to say this but far-right makes more sense now.

One reason the Nordic Model remains attractive is that it offers a symbolic resolution to structural problems. It suggests exploitation can be addressed through targeted punishment, without confronting broader issues such as poverty, housing insecurity, immigration enforcement, or healthcare access

Under the Nordic Model, visibility itself becomes a risk factor. These outcomes are not the result of poor implementation. They are structural consequences of a policy that still relies on policing, surveillance, and criminal penalties to function.

Where buyers are criminalized, police activity does not focus exclusively on buyers. It relies on surveillance of sex workers’ communications, workplaces, and relationships. Landlords, online platforms, and service providers respond to perceived legal risk by evicting, banning, or refusing access.

The Nordic Model criminalizes the purchase of sex while claiming to decriminalize the seller. In theory, this distinction is meant to reduce harm to people selling sex while targeting demand. In practice, enforcement does not operate in a vacuum.

Government shouldn't mandate corporate censorship on your devices. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

WI Gov. Evers vetoes the state's age verification requirement for many online publishers, citing adult privacy rights. Now everyone else: do the same - though also acknowledge the infringement of the rights of young people to speak and access information. content.govdelivery.com/attachments/...

Proposed rules about how the government buys and deploys AI could allow bureaucrats to sidestep necessary safeguards and supercharge mass surveillance. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Age verification is an enterprise including those on the right and left. That is very true. And I recognize that. But my recent piece for The Baffler is about these efforts being led, predominately, by the far-right in the United States. Just saying. thebaffler.com/latest/paper...

Was in Österreich gerade beschlossen wird, ist in Deutschland schon zum zweiten Mal gescheitert. Populistische Verbote stoßen sowohl im EU-Recht als auch im Grundgesetz auf erhebliche Hürden. Statt schneller Scheinlösungen braucht es endlich eine sachliche Debatte. netzpolitik.org/2026/eu-rech...

The internet wasn't a mistake. It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information. The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.

Wanting to respect CWs is a good thing but there comes a point where the expectations for their use become so extreme that the literal only reason they exist anymore is to facilitate miserable people who want to trash bathrooms starting fights and writing callout posts. It’s just 2012 Tumblr again.

Y'all know that (as far as I can tell) you can go to jail now in the UK for fictional incest depictions, right? Like, this is what that "Ban X type of porn because it's icky" leads to. It's gonna get worse than that too. They'll ban your quad furries, your regular furries, too. #furry #savespeech

This! I have had conversations, irl - with left leaning people who spouted the most puritanical, insane almost religious stuff but would dress them up as “feminism” or “ethical points” when in reality it’s just repackaging repressive harmful rhetoric (that’s eerily similar to conservative language)

What good will benefit of the doubt reason could Carney possibly need this level of surveillance over you?

Hey some good news!! Please keep supporting groups like FSC, and please keep advocating for data privacy rights!

Age verification laws purport to keep minors from accessing online adult content. But not only are they ineffective, as Michael McGrady Jr. writes, they are part of the right’s agenda to target sex workers, curb free expression, and reshape digital labor.

It always cracks me up that this is the only product that users are supposed to shoulder the burden of growing. Apple doesn't call me once a week like "Bad news sir the quarter's not looking good"

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

I remember during the age verification fight someone being like “pffft GUYS it’s fine! They’re gonna use algorithms to find the nudity and porn and no human will have to see kids nudes so it’s safe for everyone” and like I’ve never encountered someone so clearly sheltered from the Tumblr porn ban.

It's quite exhausting trying to spread awareness about existing attempts to ban porn around the world, AND dreading what'll be next/when they'll go after your own too. Not even the tamest stuff is safe from this, people need to get that through their heads. #savespeech

Rent-lowering gunshot. My first one. Incest porn is fine. It's not even real. What a strange hill to die on.

The function of revulsion toward incest is to eliminate risk of birth defects and this revulsion is going entirely too far if you try to ban incest porn from existing. It's 95% fake anyway. Do you think actors in action movies are actually killing the extras or something

#savespeech Some good news for a change. While I celebrate this, we cannot promote OS level age verification like the governor suggests. I'm sorry, but thats NOT a solution. A proper solution is education, parental controls, and making sure parents do their job.

🚨Chat Control 1.0 is dead. Holding each MP transparently responsible works! Now, let’s end Chat Control 2.0 - say NO to mass surveillance. 💪 ➡️ From today on, Gmail, Microsoft, LinkedIn & Co are no longer allowed to scan your emails & messages: tuta.com/blog/volunta...

Worth clicking the link, a really good evaluation of #ChatControl in the EU and yet more govt surveillance and interference outsourced to big tech. With all the age gating “think of the children!” has sadly become a the rallying dog whistle cry for #DisproportionateSurveillance.

Phew. This has been a long torturous fight you have no idea
