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

The author gives the situation benefit of the doubt that it does not deserve. It is not “mutating” or “creeping;” the ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL, ORIGINAL PURPOSE is simply now becoming more and more obvious, even to the people who desperately want to pretend it isn’t happening.
Damn. Who could possibly have seen this coming?
Told ya, you fucking systemd simps. It’s all a really fucking wet slope.
systemd has nothing to do with this lmao, if you see this and immediately think “this wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t let systemd discuss putting an age field 2 months ago!!!1!” you are severely, severely misled. to stay nice.nvm i’m pretty sure this is just ragebait
Hehe. The people who ignored systemd are the same people who don’t think any of this is a problem. The kind of people who can’t understand that you have to fight this kind of bullshit anytime it pops up or it eventually wins.
It just won.
I’m still trying to figure out how systemd has anything to do with this. Any configurable level user database could have implemented this.
/etc/passwdhas your “Real Name” in it as well. Finger protocol could have been selected to expose this. Literally there’s dozens of different places the age thing could have been implemented. The maintainers of systemd decided to be the first. Hell, MidnightBSD just added a daemon to implement it.Likewise if you’re informed enough you also know there’s a flag to explicitly block it and ways to patch it out. While I’m typically a Slackware and sysvinit type of person, there’s nothing unique about systemd that enabled the shitty law California passed. And fi you really care about privacy, how about less gloat and more information about ways around it, like this fork.
You’ll go a lot further educating folks how to get around the things you perceive as bad rather than whatever your original comment was. The entire point is to get people … on your side.
“Everything that contradicts my naive worldview is just ragebait”
Sure, buddy.

Can I preorder my satellite linked shock collar?
Who chose the stock image for this? I haven’t seen that style of phone since I had an LG Vue back in 2009.
That’s the phone you’ll have to go back to using, to stop them identifying you. Their AI can’t understand tech that old
I’d rather die than use a membrane touch screen again.
Whoa, so can we stop using our social security numbers for everything yet?
