Okay this is gonna be a long one but bear with me because it's actually important. If you're the type who scrolls past walls of text, just read the TL;DR below and come back when you're ready to get mad: TL;DR: Governments and big tech are quietly building a mass surveillance

A leaked internal email from Ring CEO Jamie Siminoff reveals plans to expand the AI-powered "Search Party" feature beyond locating lost dogs. Introduced last fall and promoted in a recent Super Bowl ad, the tool scans neighborhood Ring camera footage to find missing pets.

Age verification is digital ID. You cannot claim it isn't anymore.
#Alabama Senate passed App Store bill HB161 giving FULL authority to next Attorney General to implement DIGITAL ID for every Smart Phone user in state. Section 10 allows AG to REQUIRE the Digital ID, bypassing both the Legislature & next Governor. #ALpolitics CC: @CoachForGov🧵

Arizona wants to age-verify every app on your phone. Not just TikTok: The calculator, the weather app, the browser. Every preinstalled app on a device you bought.

‼️🇺🇸 Wisconsin's State Senate wants to ban VPNs and force invasive age verification on any site deemed to host "material harmful to minors" — collecting government IDs, financial data, and biometrics just to access lawful speech. Lawmakers have no idea what they're doing.

The Wisconsin Senate is voting on S.B. 130/A.B. 105, a problematic age verification bill that effectively bans VPN access to certain websites. If you live in Wisconsin, now is the time for you to contact your State Senator and urge them to vote down this bill.

Wisconsin’s S.B. 130 / A.B. 105 is a spectacularly bad idea. It’s an age-verification bill that effectively bans VPN access to certain websites for Wisconsinites and censors lawful speech. We wrote

The first bill anywhere GLOBALLY to protect against the invasive, privacy killing digital ID while actually caring about people's rights! I hope this passes. We need this everywhere.
My digital ID bill passed the committee today. This bill is to ensure statutory limits and privacy protections surrounding any digital ID programs, that government can't require digital ID, and that physical ID's remain the legal form of identification. In short, this

Germany's CDU wants to end anonymous speech online. Register with your real name, verify your ID, or lose your voice in the public square. Merz's party calls this "accountability." It's a government registry of everyone who speaks.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification. A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a

they clearly want to force everyone into paying to rent compute whether for gaming or work: don’t fall for it, buy used shit whenever you find a deal and hold onto it, let them metaphorically choke on their huge overpriced rapidly aging overstock
You may be aware of the bad news concerning RAM shortages, but not everything is bad news! GPUs are also in short supply, SSDs are 4x their price this time last year, and hard drive manufacturers are already sold out for the rest of the year with shortages expected until 2028!
