Hundreds of academics have called on governments to halt age checks on online services, @POLITICOEurope reports. An open letter signed by 271 security and privacy experts said that it is “dangerous and socially unacceptable to introduce a large-scale access control mechanism without a clear understanding of the implications” for security, privacy and people’s freedom and autonomy. Here's more. Tell us in the comments what you think.

It's way easier for lazy politicians to enact laws to outlaw, censor, and surveil under the guise of a moral panic than to enforce antitrust regulations and interoperability and algorithmic transparency mandates...
"While social media bans may seem like a prudent measure to protect children, they are not only ineffective, they endanger both children and adults. There is little evidence that social media is driving any type of widespread mental health crisis in children. Studies have repeatedly shown the opposite. Removing anonymity from the web, which will inevitably happen when tech companies are required to identify and ban children, allows for easier government tracking and censorship of journalists, activists and whistleblowers, who rely on online anonymity.
And while some claim the laws would curb big tech’s power, only the largest tech companies have the resources to shoulder the extensive costs of age verification systems. Non-profit and indie platforms could be forced to close, consolidating big tech’s power further. Mass surveillance systems, once constructed, could also be easily leveraged by governments and bad actors.
If we want to fix the problems with social media, the place to start is through comprehensive data-privacy reform and consumer protections. Governments could also take action to break up big tech companies and prosecute them for anti-competitive behaviour. Lawmakers, who claim to care about children, could pass broader social and economic policies that we know would meaningfully improve children’s lives. Social media is a lifeline, especially for marginalised youth such as LGBTQ+ teens. Any policies that limit online access should centre on the most vulnerable children and adults.
To enact the social media bans being proposed around the world requires some system of age verification, which inherently means expanding surveillance technology."

this is your voice
voting is NOT everything, but it does matter, and it does change things
this is your chance to move things left
all of the chatter on #socialMedia that
1. it doesn't matter
2. the choices aren't perfect enough for your consideration
3. "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe"
etc
it's right wing troll #psyop cosplaying left
or people with psychological situations that describes their helplessness, not yours, trying to infect you with their lack of agency

The thing that most rings true so far is that Israel just want to destroy Iran, not save the people. Pointed out by the guest.
And the host pointed out that there's a lot of fake social posts.
The set that most warrants pointing out: #SocialMedia posts of threats of attacks by #Iran on Europe are fake!
The myth that #Hamas wanted to attack anywhere outside #Israel was crazy. #Ukraine saying #Russian threat to Europe is less dishonest, but it's the same theme.
