Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

    i guarantee you the lawmakers who pass this kind of awful law have no idea what systemd even is or what it does

    blaming it (or “systemd simps”) for this is a colossal waste of time. the surveillance society has been progressively installed in the imperial core ever since 9/11, age verification and what’s it turning into is a consequence of this, and systemd adding an age field is a consequence of that.

    blaming systemd for this shit, even in part, is so bafflingly silly, such a ridiculous example of swapping cause and effect that i can’t imagine you’re doing it sincerely but apparently people agree with this???

    that’s like blaming the small creek in your garden for the existence of the raging river upstream. idk.

      I’m blaming the PEOPLE who say “no biggie, just a number” who can’t seem to get it through their thick, dumb, argumentative skulls that these kind of things ALWAYS AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION lead to loss of privacy and more authoritarian laws.

      There’s a big picture. Stop arguing the tiny points with me and SEE IT.
