(2/10) Basically, the current draft of the National Defense Authorization Act making its way through Congress contains a provision to roll back the safety improvements made after the DCA mid-air and make the situation as bad as it was on Jan. 29.

welp, my account just got officially age-restricted on YouTube. I can still watch most of the videos from people I subscribe to, but one of the politics commentators I follow I now can't watch unless I enter my government ID or credit card info.

I honestly dunno either, both my original Google account and my new one (that I use for YouTube) got age restricted because of Google's wack AI so jury's out on what constitutes being an adult to them

Youtube age restricted my youtube account. As in, the account I post videos on. AKA the account that 1. has been posting for 9 years 2. has my adult face on it 3. is connected to AdSense and therefore my BANK. The fuck is youtube pulling with this.
