Fuck that. The future fucken sucks.

And as soon as that happens, I'm out. I'd rather just opt out of the modern internet. I already have to deal with my information getting leaked from various different services at least once every couple years it seems. I can change a credit card or a password, I can't change my ID.

We're heading back to the dreams of the 90s with people running websites on non-standard ports and DNS (new rinky dink decentralized DNS?). Take a performance and usability hit for the return of a more decentralized Internet. Probably still more usable than the early internet with all the lessons learned and tools available to modern developers. We can also bring back the term: web master

See you guys in I2P.

If this happens they should check ID at church too seeing as how children are much more likely to be abused or groomed by someone there.

If it comes to Lemmy, I quit. I'll go touch grass all day, I don't mind.

Good bye corporate internet. I won't miss you

Remember guys, they cared about the kids and their online safety as soon as Israel started a genocide in Gaza and they lost control of the narrative. But they didn't care at all for the past 20 years when Epstein and his buddies were running rampant.

edit: clarity

This is why the Dark-web exists.

• Tor
• I2P
• Yggdrasil
• LokiNet
• FreeNet
• ZeroNet
• GNUnet (In the distant future)

Did I miss anything ?

It's fucking ironic that this article is asking me to register just to read it.

Can was please fucking stop needing accounts to exist online? So fucking dumb

The real goal is to eliminate anonymity from the internet.

will a headshot from thispersondoesnotexist.com work?

No it's not, maybe for some mainstream websites. Saying the "whole internet" is clickbait hyperbole.

the simulatenous legislaiton from all countries seems very suspicious of a certain foreign adversary backing such motives. this isnt the first things like this happened. just a hunch.

Maybe the whole corporate internet. Unless we're forced into aol style portals by the death of net neutrality i think most of the lemmy user base will be fine. Shout-out to /c/selfhosted for those looking to get ahead of the permission gate.

They intend to tie a name to every keystroke

Tor, and mesh networks. Every article brings me closer to going hard just for the lulz.

I think we need to organise a massive campaign for people to cancel their entire Isp for at least a month, I'm betting all this would get reversed almost overnight.

Anything but that I fear they win and we all end up on the darknet.

Get your coat, we’re leaving.

i2p lemmy is going to be great!

this is backwards. why can't publishers mark pages as child-friendly and then browsers and operating systems can have a child-friendly mode that parents (or whoever the authoritarians are) can use. Laws can target people misusing the child-friendly mode.

Google already changed logged out YouTube to a single row of recommendations and a button to login on roku and Android shield when it used to look like the logged in version just a couple weeks ago. Probably the kick I needed to get off, mostly just using it for a couple smaller call-in/debate streamers I can switch to a podcast or other version.

What sucks is that once these laws are in place repealing them will probably never happen. There are far too many people who will benefit financially from this to allow that to happen.

Article is paywalled.

Better start downloading the important documents now

Whever this happens, fuck this shit im out...

Time to buy Death Stranding 2 I guess
