Australia’s Social Media Age Verification Law is Already Failing
A law meant to lock people under 16 years of age is already failing as people are incorrectly passing facial recognition checks.

As expected, the main bills/policies that were pushed were as follows:
-KOSA (Senate Version)
-STOP CSAM Act
-Abolishing/Amending Section 230
They also introduced three new bills they claim are to combat sex-tortion, cyber-bullying, and make punishments towards production/distribution/possession of CSAM much harsher:
-SAFE Act
-ECCHO Act
-Stop Sextortion Act
Please continue calling your Senators and Representatives about this! These cannot pass!

I mentioned on Mastodon that my wife lovingly (and jokingly) refers to my site as my Myspace. She's always right and this is no exception.

Why is Elon Musk in a war of words with the European Union?
By Kitty Shepherd-Cross
The latest target of Elon Musk's ire is the European Union, which he has called a "bureaucratic monster" that "should be abolished". So, what's going on?

Can't wait to see how under 16s are going to undermine the ban in Australia. Like the schoolkids who used Google Docs comments as a social network. Genius. #Australia #SocialMedia

"In February 2024, without warning, YouTube deleted the account of independent British journalist Robert Inlakesh.
His YouTube page featured dozens of videos, including numerous livestreams documenting Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank. In a decade covering Palestine and Israel, he had captured video of Israeli authorities demolishing Palestinian homes, police harassing Palestinian drivers, and Israeli soldiers shooting at Palestinian civilians and journalists during protests in front of illegal Israeli settlements. In an instant, all of that footage was gone.
This past July, YouTube deleted Inlakesh’s private backup account. And in August, Google, YouTube’s parent company, deleted his Google account, including his Gmail and his archive of documents and writings.
The tech giant initially claimed Inlakesh’s account violated YouTube’s community guidelines. Months later, the company justified his account termination by alleging his page contained spam or scam content.
However, when The Intercept inquired further about Inlakesh’s case, nearly two years after his account was deleted, YouTube provided a separate and wholly different explanation for the termination: a connection to an Iranian influence campaign."
