To protect kids from potentially seeing A Boob, we now require everyone to upload their face and/or government ID to a private database owned by Pieter Thiel, a famously Normal Man 👍
Age verification and these “child safety” laws are a massive gift to big tech. Persona, the leading third-party age and identity verification platform, recently announced a $2bn valuation after its latest funding round co-led by Peter Thiel.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
