This bill is being pushed by Meta and they are NOT going to stop with age verification. It is not about “protecting children” and it never has been. It’s always been about surveillance and control. Meta wants to know who you are, where you are, what you buy, what you download, who you associate with and what your politics are.

Every time Microsoft does an update, they reduce functionality. Basic functions like print, search and file storage get moved into sub-sub-sub menus. The point of this is to make room on the main screen for ads. Screwing up your work flow gives you more time to look at them. This is intentional.

It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.
This. I f*cking HATE having to vote for Biden. I’ve hated voting for Democrats for the last 20 years. But I’ll vote for him this year because right now, our choices are between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. I may hate my government but I love my country and I don’t want it to end.
This. These companies (Microsoft, Google, etc) are using OUR computer’s Ram, Hard drive space and CPU time to run their very own Skynets and making us pay for the privilege.
