So is this what the tech bros wanted when they said locked in walled gardens where more secure?
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 2 days ago:
There needs to be a watchdog for the watchdog, because this is totally unacceptable for a official to be this out of the loop on the technology they are watching over.
If they are a professional they should have some clue as to what is going on, but instead they’re listening to their fascist pals.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 2 days ago:
It first starts with the “children” or the “bad actors/terrorists” and ends with a straight up fascist police state.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 2 days ago:
Farage will definitively not dismiss this opportunity - this and more is what he craves. Fascism will be pushed harder down the throats of the working class which will go a step further than the already fascist attempts at taking away rights of young people.

- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 days ago:
The only thing that’s important for them and their ego is hallucinating problems and making up solutions which benefit nobody.
We live in an age where children and teens are getting their rights stripped because of said perceived “dangers” - real effort being done into something that will harm everybody. While realistic problems such as starvation and poverty get swept up under the rug.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 days ago:
We shouldn’t be living on the mercy of the bourgeois. Selling our freedom for bare essentials is what will drive us deeper into the slave life they have sincerely made for us.
We may have freedom to sell now, but what happens when we run out of that freedom?
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 days ago:
That is true, the problem with nudity isn’t with age anymore - it’s with the perceived notion that nudity is damaging in some mysterious way.
Some countries are allowed to have nudity on tv which brings this indoctrinated viewpoint to perspective. In fact, this is viewed as normal no matter the age in such countries. In addition, sex-ed for older children and teenagers is of higher quality compared to western countries which prohibit nudity.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 4 days ago:
There already should be a distinction between what is a child and what is a teen - there is a huge difference and these laws don’t take that into consideration. The only thing these laws do is remain as an ageist weapon that creates motives to discrimination.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 1 week ago:
How about just use localised parental controls without this complex police state garbage. In addition, making it 16+ is extremely discriminatory and ageist. A blanket ban which treats teens like children is not acceptable and no individual should feel oppressed under their own law.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 1 week ago:
I think it’s a big positive
Is it really? Ask yourself, is the oppression of individuals based on age really a positive?
Do the voices, opinions and perspectives of those most impacted by this monstrous lawn not matter to you? Because all this proves is your support towards a fascist regime.
Of course, technological factors such as those you have outlined come in play as well. This law is a stepping stone for a totalitarian police state where everyone is impacted - irrespective of age.
However, the resonance induced in taking control of the corporations, by ultimately taking control of a class of individuals based on fallacious ageist remarks - is what makes this counterproductive, non-inclusive and destructive to trust.
There are individuals within that class that are using their might into defending their human rights, youth rights - and all you’re doing with supporting this law is disregarding them and treating them as sub-humans. One group of teenagers used 1984 as a highlight to the situation, and they are right. Ageist, infantilisation doesn’t solve nothing.
As stated before, this law has both issues in technological and egalitarian perspectives. And it’s up to you to decide if you are really against corporatocracy or just a fascist in disguise.
- Comment on Australia bans under-16s from social media in world-first crackdown 1 week ago:
Take back control How does this make any sense, this law shouldn’t exist as this law is rooted in fascist unjust reasoning. Fabricated to indoctrinate that it is just and protective.
Why must the “taking back control” be so rooted within discriminatory and ageist remarks - essentially braking a societal level of trust. Is this really taking back control of the corporations? Or is it that the control is actually aimed at young people.
As such, this isn’t a push against the tech companies, this is a push against our rights and freedom. It starts with the young people and ends in totalitarian control of all individuals irrespective of age. The state has no right to control or parent children, the fascist takes involving indoctrination and fallacious arguments is what will result in yet another Nazi regime.

- Comment on Students on strike against military service: “You’re not a coward if you don’t want to die for Germany!” 1 week ago:
I agree, but they are not children. We shouldn’t be infantilising adolescents and young individuals. They are as capable as adults - and for that we should be aiding and supporting their motives. Don’t be ageist, be supportive.
- Comment on [The New Republic] Arrest Mark Zuckerberg for Child Endangerment: Shocking new revelations about Instagram in a lawsuit against social media companies should pave the way for an ambitious prosecutor to file criminal charges. 1 week ago:
Exactly, to the governments, kids are just tools for mass oppression.
- Comment on Meta starts kicking Australian children off Instagram and Facebook 2 weeks ago:
On the one hand, I actually think this is a very good thing. Social media is especially damaging to children.
The same can be said for adults and all age groups, the damage isn’t exclusive. Also focus should be given that the law impacts teens as well since it’s under 16s - this isn’t just the kids or children that will be impacted.
As such, unless you advocate for the oppression of human rights and youth rights to adolescents - then this law would be fine for you. But the reality is, ageism is what this proceeds to be. Infantilisation is just a non negotiable occurrence where the shallow belief that those people cannot think for themselves, absorbs us whole.
The most devastating thing is, that those people are fighting this oppression and you dare to stand against them. Fascism stays fascism no matter what age you are.
Even if this was just about the children, then the state shouldn’t dabble with the internet - as parents should be the ones parenting not the state.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 weeks ago:
We are blinded by the fact that the teens are involved in this too, and they deserve equality as well. The internet is made to build bridges - get rid of boundaries - not set false narratives and infantilise those that are really impacted in this situation and have full awareness of the status quo.
This is a foot in the door technique that uses our deceived emotional manipulation, where our age discrimination is the secret ingredient in this fascist circus.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 weeks ago:
With the rising popularity of VPNs due to increasingly more countries becoming more authoritarian, I wouldn’t be supposed there will be some anti-vpn directives put in place.
In addition to that, increasingly more selections within vpn profiles will be just as restrictive as the fascist internet at home.
VPNs are a great way to circumvent this police state but it ultimately doesn’t stop fascists and their motives.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, all the talk about save the children, anti terrorism protection and other authoritarian bullshit is just an attempt to deceive and manipulate the masses.
Police state is what they resort to because these fascist fucks are fuelled by their narcissistic and machiavellianistic desires - the last thing they want is for someone to discover their true tyranny.
It is disappointing to see fascists are slowly succeeding by utilising their manipulative tactics.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 3 weeks ago:
Technology is now used as a tool to perpetually force the working class to obey the ever increasing draconian rules. AI is one thing, highlighting that all it matters to them is a profit with no gratitude towards the workers.
This is essentially legal slavery, fuelled by big corp and the governmental bootlickers.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
That brings us to the whole concept of the internet. Decentralisation. Everyone at this point is impacted; and while age is being used as a weapon, the internet is becoming more and more centralised.
Amazon and cloudflare outages were warnings before the real storm. Decentralisation is where we should strive for - and yet the only thing this proves, is the naiveness and the lack of understanding the people that make these laws have.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
That’s because their bunch of hypocrites. The only thing they’re fuelled by is misinformation and greed. Emotional manipulation is their go to weapon because their macharvellistic ego only lives by that.
Don’t get me started on discrimination which comes with this type of situation. Teens/adolescents being infantilised, and indoctrinated that they know fuck all then being lumped right in with children.
But why should they explore their sexuality if they can read the bible instead - to remain pure. Of course, touching your Coochie will land you strait to the devil himself.
At that point, the quote never have sex until you have married makes more and more sense. It is control from the first moment you become a teenager to the point where marriage becomes a thing. All because of this perceived purity (Even if the bible isn’t in its entirety pure).
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
The kids are just bait for the masses, the big bad wolf doesn’t care about the safety. Control is what they’re after.
Besides that the point about guardrails, is what I agree in. It would prove beneficial for kids until they become fully aware teenagers. It is also beneficial to note the lack of distinction between teens and kids within these laws. This is what truly makes this predatory - where the fully aware individuals are stripped off their rights.
If they are going to take away the rights of our children, teens & adolescents, what is stopping them from taking away our rights?
- Comment on Unremovable Spyware on Samsung Devices Comes Pre-installed on Galaxy Series Devices 4 weeks ago:
With the past decades or so a phone has become a standard piece of equipment where it’s virtually used everywhere, anytime. It is a complete disaster that those standards are not applied to what’s deemed under the hood - all these companies are deemed to do anything they want to because nothing is standard.
Look where that got us - a duopoly where going against them is deemed “inescapable”. It is disappointing how we even let this happen in the first place, the capitalists and fascists basically own us because of it.
All that got us is a standard thing tacked together by mystery tape and glue - hardware & software. Open source software and standards have barely any say here just because the fascists in rule decided so.
- Comment on Denmark's government aims to ban access to social media for children under 15 1 month ago:
And this is yet another cycle of censorship and bans which all they do is undermine the rights of teens and children along with other issues.
Like all other countries pushing it, they choose an arbitrary number - persuading the majority into false belief that this was the best option. Infantilising & essentially barring all rights which a teen holds is not justice - it’s indoctrination, setting a narrative that their independent thinking is flawed.
Unlike the other mandates, this one has the capability to reduce it to 13 year olds. This is the age where such ban should essentially stop. Of course, this comes to question if we need age bans at all. It is known that children (<13 years) are not fully developed, their critical thinking and independent thinking is virtually non-existent. Bans in this case might do some good, but even then effects are not clearly known.
Censorship, that is discriminatory; infantilises young people; and is fuelled by control over the young independent thinking people, shouldn’t exist. It’s been proven that the design is destined to fail, skills for circumventing censorship for an average teen is essentially a necessity.
In essence, teenagers will be the most impacted by this, trust being an important thing will be seen as single sided.
- Comment on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities 1 month ago:
it’s illegal to collect on children
The only reason this exists is to shut up the majority of people, so it seems that they actually care. They aren’t trying to save the children, they are trying to save their own asses.
Protecting the children should come in part with protection of everyone.
- Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco 1 month ago:
I agree, it’s not a trick however. It’s a deliberate and strategic method of persuasion - a type of call-to-action; or manipulation.
The case of autonomous driving should technically result in safer and more efficient road environment. That is the result of a fully automated system - a user will not be able to misuse or excessively degrade the machine. The same comparison can be applied to manual vs auto transmission where the advantages are quite clear.
Such situation is attributed to the fact that most of it is exacerbated and facts are manipulated. Statistical evidence and comparison of pets killed per 100 vehicles is also missing - because emotions is all it takes for masses to listen.
