Ironically, France's government did a study several years ago that found there was no safe or technically feasible way to mandate online age verification without massively expanding surveillance and eviscerating online privacy. They decided to do it anyway.

I know it won't make a difference but it's pretty funny that the "evidence" trump posted to make his china hacked the election claim completely refutes that claim.

In
2019,
assessed that "hostile forces" could fabricate claims that Beijing was interfering in the election to demonize China and that no matter who won the election Washington's hardline policies against
Beijing were unlikely to change,
Chinese
noted that Beijing should avoid giving Washington any pretext to "scapegoat" China and to claim that it was interfering in the election,
In
2020
also assessed, despite the President's attempts to blame China to divert attention from the pandemic and his electoral prospects, that managing tensions without causing irreparable damage to bilateral relations over the next six months remained in China's interest,

Chinese leaders

As reporting continues to surface about Madison Square Garden using facial recognition tech to identify, harass & ban people, it's important to highlight the many venues have prioritized artist & patron safety by pledging NOT to use this tech.

The image features a vibrant and colorful background that transitions through gradients of pink, orange, blue, and green. Overlaying this background is a series of bold, white text blocks against a black backdrop. The main message at the top states, "OVER 30 VENUES HAVE COMMITTED TO NOT USE INVASIVE SURVEILLANCE TECH." Below this, a numbered list includes three venue names: "1 BLACK CAT DC," "2 THE ROCKWELL," and "3 HOUSE OF YES." At the bottom of the image, another line of text reads, "HERE ARE JUST A FEW…" There are also decorative arrows pointing in various directions, enhancing the dynamic feel of the design.

Patrons can choose not to go to bars that use face ID. “Voting with your feet is great,” EFF’s @htsuka.bsky.social told @sfstandard.com. “They can hear from the patrons, from the people who are going to these bars and are worried about their info being shared.”

Boots Riley has been trying to tell ppl this for a minute.

A screenshot of a March 8, 2024 tweet from Boots Riley:

"Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump.

He just looks like a hippie."
