Do we know how the age verification process is gonna work or is this gonna be one of those neoliberal dystopian spystate kinda deals where the means of data collection is left to corporations only to be subsequently tapped by the state when the want to target individuals?

Absolutely. Super easy to use this in blackmail. Especially in a country as repressed as the UK.
- Comment on I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician) 3 days ago:
Police are the mechanism of state violence. They are inherently bad - as an institution.
Whether a politician is bad depends on their policies.

For about the last 3 years I’ve been hearing about YouTube cracking down on ad blockers. Not once has it affected my. Ublock still stops ads on the browser. Revanced stops em on the phone.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I recall having a conversation with a transphobe and it coming down to me going, ‘I just don’t understand why you want to be cruel to trans people.’ He tried to brush it off but it was obvious that he was simply trying to dress up his bigotry with pseudointellectual bs.
That, and the tried and true, “I’m just concerned about women in women’s spaces. Post transition women commit the same number of crimes as men.”
Where did you read this? Can you show me what crimes they commit? Who did the study?
“Oh I can’t remember this now, can’t we have a debate about this.”
That’s when I realised that this was pointless. Because, for him, this was just a game. That the rights of trans people were something we could “intellectually” parse out. All while actual, real world people are being harassed, discriminated against and killed.
Fuck that shit. And fuck that guy.

- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 5 weeks ago:
This perfectly sums up the shortfalls of Trumpian populism in the face of Late Stage Capitalism.
- Comment on Duolingo deletes all its TikTok videos after AI backlash—and then returns with a strange message 5 weeks ago:
Hahahaha. God they really are so fucking stupid.
Like I love how nobody seems to question the expertise of CEOs. Like, I know the board structure, they consult experts and make decisions. That makes sense (I mean it has problems but it makes sense). But if you’re choosing a CEO for a Telecoms company, and the last job he did was being the CEO of a successful kitchenware company, I’m gonna question the degree to which this person can do their job well. There are so many CEOs who seem completely disconnected from the company they are in charge of.

You know. I feel like its a bit obvious to say but a system where corporations are operated top-down by a group of individuals whose only interest is the profitability of said corporation with little to no consideration in other aspects of the corporation (the employees for one) is a pretty bad system. I remember reading that Henry Ford wanted to drop the price of the Model T to make it even more of an everyman car. Two of his top investors took him to court over it. This isn’t to say Ford was some sort of paragon; but it strikes me sometime, the degree to which the naked greed of some people pierces the capitalist veil of competitive innovation for social betterment.
