Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children

It’s part of the tech bro mass surveillance oligarchs and Israel tightening the freedom of speech noose worldwide

Hit everything at once, cause confusion and anger, distract from Epstein files and rising prices.

Facebook is lobbying them so they don't have to do age checks on Instagram and can maximize the revenue

it's a checkmark on a politicians career without them having to do anything real

there's many issues politicians will rally under if they see that it's minimal work + huge virtue signaling potential (think of the children ! )

I know it's probably bad form to link to reddit posts here (but I'll use redlib to it's slightly less shitty lol) but there was actually a pretty interesting thread on r/Linux about this the other day. tl;dr: It looks like a lot of this is due to lobbying from Meta so they can shunt responsibility for age verification onto the OS and dodge fines for not regulating their sites properly.

Just a coincidence, don't worry about it!

Thiele, the palantir/flock camera guy, who just so happened to be good friends with Epstein for many years as well, wants everyone's computers broadcasting who's an underaged user to every website they visit. He's been one of the voices pushing this.

The mainstream media want to destroy the competition.

Literally Israel
