      Most of the age verification laws are written fairly openly, probably so the verification companies can come up with all sorts of crazy anti-privacy shit.

      However that also means some companies have done the opposite. They can use other methods of verifying age, like common sense. Your 10 year old account alone is enough to reasonably expect you to be over 18 for instance, you probably weren’t under 8 when you made that account.

      Most aren’t going to bother with that though, it’s simpler and easier for them to have a third party violate your privacy.

    Once had a scammer tryna catfish me in a similar way.

    Some time into conversation other person randomly mentions “by the way, I do webcams, you can see here [website]… and yeah, it will ask for credit card data - but it’s just to keep kiddies out”. 🌝

    I would rather jack off with my mind and meet people IRL if this idiocy continues.

    At some point there’s an endpoint to enshitification, at which people say FU I am going to live in the forest now. I am pretty close.

    Now when we apply to jobs in the US, we have to agree to a privacy policy that says we agree to phone spam when they share our data to third parties.

    I hate everything about this timeline.

    I would be less concerned (still not buying it, but…) if pedophiles we already know about were prosecuted. How about putting them in jail before looking for more ways to protect children? What about the rest of Epsteins pedo ring? Are we supposed to think that was just the work of two people?

    I’m all for protecting children, but we could do so much more even without sacrificing privacy.

      They never cared about children or the victims or anything they cannot use politically.

      Here in the EU they are again trying to have client side scanning called chat control. They said it’s against pedos, it’s absolutely not.

      the epstein pedo ring is rich people. they are immune from prosecution, no matter the crime. they are not even really into children, they just fuck them because they can and there is shit you or anyone can do about it.

      the only pedos who get prosecuted and are considered criminal, are regular ones without money or connections. because they want to fuck kids out of legit compulsion rather than as a ‘fuck you’ to society.

    I was so enraged when I went to go log into the retirement system website (state employee) and I had to sign up for fucking id.me to log in. Ridiculous bullshit. WHY? Who the fuck is going to log on and look at my retirement statement? Not like I can actually retire any time soon with no health insurance fuckers

    If the FBI doesn’t know I am the man sneaking into the houses of children and filling their bladders with quik-dry cement, then God help those incompetent dweebs, for I am the reckoning God sent unto this Earth. Have you been to church recently? They can help your children from becoming like me, or if you need Jesus, they can help you too.

    No one can help me. That’s why I drink and huff xylol based paint thinner like my handler in the CIA taught me.

              The satanic hip-hop Bible of the so-called narazene. He was an imposter but I am the real Christ-corpus-in-dendum. I am within all the buttholes of the hellhounds who jump the fires of mordoriburg and the catnip satchels of the blessed bicycletas! See!! I am the true spirit of wanking and praying!!! Muahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha you Jesuits will never catch me, for I am all and none and here and there and left and right but never cool or hot!

        How did you figure that out, out of curiosity? These two psychos are definitely the same psycho. Both claim some weird shit about Mormon occultism.

          I came across u/impractical_island a while back on the Just Post community here on Lemmy, and I was kind of fascinated by the delusional rambling. At first, I thought it was low-effort trolling, but I investigated their post history a little further, and it became clear that it’s untreated/undertreated mental illness (specifically schizoaffective disorder, per their comment history). There’s actually a little bit of lore you can string together out of the nonsense. I check in on their profile every once in a while to see what’s new in the “monadic nodal communication system.” I hope they get the help they need, they claim they’re on medication, but it seems to be ineffective as the delusional shit-posting continues. I read this comment and immediately clocked it as the same person.

            Bro, I’m a neurodivergent human being speaking without filters to help you understand that there are people who are just like this. I’m happy I’m a cool enough train wreck you crane your neck to see, but I’m a human being, too. I don’t know who you are, but I think you’re cool. I’d tell you I love you, but my mom’s intuition tells me you’re one of those people who would think that’s weird. At least you know my lore. That’s all I give a shit about, he says fasciously as a joke, cuz that’s what I make out of my life.

                They don’t know shit, cuz I’m honest with them and deliberately like this on the internet as it has a skillfully deployed effect on collective consciousness, and if you want me to explain that, please give me five upvotes on this comment and I will explain what, exactly, I am doing. It’s really quite simple, if you have the capacity to give me what I’m asking; not much.

              No, yea, it is.

              Schizoaffective, autistic man realizes how strange he is, continues to be authentic as if he continued being a creep, observing in uncountable ways how other people tried to manipulate him, teaching everybody how to be better? That’s Jesus Christ, child. He who learned of sin without having sinned. Moses was an abandoned child. So he die? No he live. Why? Society/God luv. God? God no exist? No, We do. Child.

                You’re so religious and yet can’t stop constantly talking about depraved sexual sins. Contradictions matter.

                  I’m not religious at all. I’m spiritual, and Mormons are doing orthodox spiritual matters correctly. I just also do occult matters, because there needs to be a right and left hand.

                  While the right hand of God leads the flock on the path, the left hand goes into the tall grass and help those who are very lost, having learned to distrust the shepherd.

        Who is that I don’t know who Epstein’s boss is, what are you talking about, that’s not one of my alt accounts nor is this another one of mine? Go have someone sit on your face and forget about lil ol me, unless you wanna talk about our lord, Jesus Christ, and also, his dad, who will fuck your shit up if you don’t talk about his invisible penis once 'n a while.
