they are barring wikipedia. they are barring spotify. they are barring important news - both national news and world news. they are barring mental health forums and LGBTQ related things and so much more. this is not about protecting children, it has never been about protecting children.

the online safety act is an insane privacy breach, and if that does not scare you then you need to think harder about it. it is going to end up in a massive data leak - all the information is getting collected by random third party systems. can we trust them? no. can we even hold them accountable? no. because the government couldn’t even make their own system to do these age checks.

and i hear you - it is important that kids don’t see porn. but even if all this was about protecting kids, it’s sloppy and useless. it’s easy (for now) to get around with a vpn and the only thing the act doing is censoring things that it shouldnt. if the government wanted to protect kids, they would do something concrete about it - they would be putting more funding into education, for example.

of course the policy isnt called “national surveillance”. they’re not going to call it that. everything will be hidden behind things that people want.

so email your MP, and tell other people that this is WAY more than blocking porn from children - this is the first step towards national surveillance.

my opinion on the current porn ban is that it benefits the state to have its people filled with shame. they want you to be ashamed of yourself and they want you to hurt others who aren't ashamed of themselves. these changes will not benefit the marginalized

It's very clear that Andrew Tate and other "redpill" influencers of his ilk didn't understand The Matrix (or maybe didn't even watch it) it they think that escaping the Matrix means living a life of luxury and fame. They got it exactly backwards.

Escaping the Matrix in the movie means living a life of hardship and discomfort. But it's a life that is full of genuine experiences and connections that aren't designed to exploit you.

To hammer the point even more, the motivation of the traitor character is to live a life of luxury and fame inside the Matrix, not caring that it's fake.

The whole "lgb drop the t" movement is so obviously a psyop to make queer people destroy their communities from the inside, I'm honestly surprised anyone fell for it, let alone this many people

Like

Guaranteed, if they ever did manage to "drop the t" they would 100% make the next step "lg drop the b" (assuming that discourse isn't already happening)

All im saying is if you join a movement whose whole purpose is to mobilise the exclusion of a marginalized group, don't be surprised when they start mobilizing to exclude you

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

I think more media should narratively punish parents for not listening to their kids and specifically I think it should punish them in cruel and terrifying ways. I want real life parents to go through life with a healthy fear that if they ignore their children's boundaries a witch might cook and eat them

shoutout to everyone with a flat affect. especially those on the schizophrenia or autism spectrums. or both if youre nasty.

firm reminder that if you’re saying shit completely indistinguishable from bigots like “we gotta start killing trans women” “trans men should just take some dick and they’ll be normal” “[slur for intersex people] are such a small minority and they always make it about themselves” (all real opinions i have seen Multiple times) then you can fuck right off

"Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening"

Quote by Chico Mendes seen in Manoel Island, Malta.

Chico Mendes was a Brazilian rubber tapper, trade union leader, and environmentalist. He fought to preserve the Amazon rainforest, and advocated for the human rights of Brazilian peasants and Indigenous people. He was assassinated by a rancher on 22 December 1988.

There is literally no circumstance where I support age verification to access a website. As I've said before I'm very much the "there's nuance here" person on almost everything but on this issue there's no nuance for me, it's awful and horrible in and of itself and it also sets an awful and horrible precedent

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop
