Past few days I got hit on discord with age verification prompt despite not being a resident of UK/Aus.
It appears it's currently worldwide, done at random, not all users receive it, and - for now - it's limited to the desktop app. Editing preference options is locked until I surrender my id.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

Diese Studie ist eine Sensation: Heike Klüver hat 1.237 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien über 50 Jahre ausgewertet. Die Schlüsselfrage: Werden Rechtsextreme „entzaubert“, wenn sie mitregieren?
Die Antwort – eindeutig: Nein. Sobald rechtsextreme Parteien an der Regierung sitzen, profitieren sie.

404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. Webloc can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

This is the reason why theyre trying to crack down on speech/expression online, and repeal section 230. Its all under the guise of demonizing porn/protecting children but the actual goal is hamstringing peoples ability to do exactly this, counter state propaganda.
I do sort of idly wonder what the impact of everyone having a phone with a camera has done to the tenability of fascist projects like this, especially in the vein this administration is going for - overtly inspired by the 1930s Nazi movement with its very public performances of propaganda.
as @cooperlund.online says, they’re just making content. and a shivering nazi weeping as he has to be helped by protestors away from his failed rally just a few miles away from where folks are enjoying a brisk day of sledding is a propaganda coup

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Ich glaube, viele Leute unterschätzen das Ausmaß der aktuellen Medienkrise. Ich sage es immer wieder: Entweder wir finden rasch Wege, Qualitätsmedien ordentlich zu finanzieren, oder wir werden die Demokratie nicht halten können. Guter Journalismus ist systemrelevant und wahnsinnig unterbezahlt.

Das lustige an NIUS ist, dass sie kaum zahlende Abonnement haben, aber auch kaum Leserschaft. Sie werden fast vollständig von einem Multimillionär mit Lobbykontakten in der CDU finanziert, nicht, damit Millionen Menschen es lesen - sondern CDU-Abgeordnete. Es geht nur um deren Manipulationen.

Age Verification prevents no harm.
It just helps companies and states collect more data on us, all while censoring our bodies and speech, deeming what is acceptable and what is not.

Discord users internationally are reportedly seeing prompts to age verify to access NSFW channels. Discord states these may be seen by users outside the UK & Australia “as part of ongoing experiments.”

Of course that's how it works! It couldn't work any other way! Every piece of "training" material has been incorporated into its code without permission or compensation!
Sounds like a big deal.
“Now, a damning new study could put AI companies on the defensive. In it, Stanford and Yale researchers found compelling evidence that AI models are actually copying all that data, not “learning” from it.”

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
