Youtube is going to make you give up your government information to prove your age

Blow up YouTube's phone and email lines NOW before August 13th!

Well shit. It appears as though I have to do another post that isn't the one shot I wanted to write. So, in America, YouTube is going to try and use age verification AI to make sure you aren't underage.

What this means is that there will be an Artificial Intelligence looking over your watch history to judge if you are a child. So, if you naturally lean towards watching gaming videos primarily for children (or you just watch one too many of those), the AI will use that to say that you are obviously under 18.

If you are flagged as under 18, what will happen is that you will be cut off from anything that YouTube deems "mature", which, if you're even the slightest bit familiar with YouTube, that could mean anything.

If you have been falsely flagged, then guess what? You are going to have to: provide your driver's license, your social security number, your face, or your credit card to prove that you are in fact of age.

I will repeat that.

You will need to give this website your DRIVER'S LICENSE (YOUR ID), SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, OR YOUR CREDIT CARD TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE NOT UNDER 18.

This is by nature extremely problematic, given how you're giving your government information to an incredibly insecure website, compared to one run by a government agency. Not only that, it will not stop children from entering adult spaces.

You can already see by how I'm describing it that this system is easy to trigger, and easy to cheat. The only purpose this serves is to compromise the security of millions. Make no mistake, that is explicitly the goal.

THE CRUELTY IS THE FUCKING POINT. THIS IS NOT SOME CUTE LITTLE MISTAKE.

Attempts to undermine anonymity and encryption by the UK, US, and Australian governments are specifically designed to make the internet unsafe by compromising the security of its users.

This not a mistake. It's not about protecting children, it's about control and fearmongering. And all the issues I've laid out makes it evident. It pushes children into spaces that make them vulnerable to predators. It forces victims of abuse to go silent online because their support group has been made inaccessible orthey're at risk of being witch hunted. And it's a dream for human traffickers.

Again,

Blow up YouTube's phone and email lines NOW before August 13th!

And if you are in a country legally requiring age verification to use websites, then you need to protest, protest, PROTEST and blow up the phone and email lines of government agencies until the law has been repealed.

Lives are stake here, this is not an exaggeration.

I haven't drawn in his wings yet so he looks like he's just got weird human arms

Ocs I've made in horse life so far

Katoptris turned out the best hands down.

Vanduo looks pretty good but I didn't get to finish him before the devs decided to put a 24 hour unskippable breed wait on this species and I DO NOT have the patience for that bs. Making these things already takes months without that. He's mammoth size though which is pretty neat.

Forcieus looks weird since I used a unicorn and he's supposed to be a big draft(No decent thick fluffy breeds at the time aside from bisorse but I want him to be a HORSE not a cow). I've just been calling this thing teenage Forcieus since he was scrawny in his teen years. His patterns are suppose to be purple but I put the rose mutation on him and haven't taken it off cuz I like the eyes. I'll be making a new version of him that's more accurate once I finish Aero, Merith and Spader.

Hey guys something fucking bad happened

KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.

remake of my peril design because i didn't like my old one :/

i wanted to make her look more like her own light source, which is why she's a lot lighter than before. + white hot makes more sense to me compared to red/orange for a skywing with extra fire
