Put another way, the entire adult userbase is going to have to upload their IDs to sketchy third-party companies and link their identities to their online activity to stop a few dozen kids from accessing a platform that is mainly left-leaning news and commentary. What problem is this solving?

“Some have pointed to the fact that the Montreal shooter quoted Karl Marx to suggest he was a Marxist — but Marx argued in favour of women’s liberation and against gender inequality. “Don’t let anyone fool you: incel ideology is incompatible with progressive politics.”

Right-wing rage-bait got everything wrong about the Montreal shooting

Monday’s shooting in Montreal points to a problem that Canada’s right wing doesn’t want to talk about: the psychopathic hatred of women.

Important article by @internetmaggie.com on incels' anti-porn rhetoric as evident in the Montreal shooter's rambling manifesto. Misogyny (& hatred of women's sexuality, autonomy & rights), not anti-cop sentiment is key here. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: The Montreal shooting revealed how antiporn rhetoric is being taken up by incels

The shooter’s 104-page manifesto made clear that misogyny was the clearest of his motivations

Blaming sex workers for society's ills is as old as the profession itself. Never mind that men are the primary consumers! Even before the Montreal shooting, I saw so many posts about "Girls! Don't be Bonnie Blue!" when there's only 1 Bonnie Blue but 1,000 men who signed up to have sex with her.

“Monday’s shooting spree occurred in the same Montreal borough as Canada’s worst single incident of femicide: the Polytechnique Massacre. “The killer — once again — is a white man. “The victims — once again — are exactly the people the far right blames for all their troubles.”

Seconds after I hit publish on this, my thesis that there will be people who have access to national platforms, who will try and obscure what Seth Hatfield's manifesto said. Stephanie Carvin just claimed that it's anti police (it isn't). Take a read... noraloreto.substack.com/p/shooting-t...

Seth Hatfield's manifesto reveals a deeply confused man who remixed communist theory with far-right rhetoric to create an ideological dog's breakfast

AI companies are now getting accommodations that disabled people spent decades fighting for. Jonathan Zong and Frank Elavsky argue this reflects a broader pattern, where accessibility gains become politically possible only once industry needs the same changes.

The Web Is Being Made Accessible for AI, Not People

Jonathan Zong and Frank Elavsky critique how AI-driven infrastructure changes obscure accessibility and reveal whose needs society chooses to prioritize.

"Nudify" apps have created endless chaos in schools for years. But administrators and police are STILL caught on the back foot when it happens in their communities. At Radnor, this looked like a mix of bad info from admin and conflicting reports from police www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

LISTEN UP! YOU NEED TO DO THIS ASAP!!! If you support marginalized people, do this. If you support sex workers, do this. If you support artists, do this. If you say "fuck censorship", do this. I can't begin to tell you how important this is, ya'll.

www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa... Federal Reserve is asking for public comment on potential regulations for the Board of Governors no longer compelling banks to deny services based on reputational risk. IF YOU'RE IN THE US PLEASE GO COMMENT THAT YOU WANT BANKS TO NO LONGER DENY LEGAL SERVICES

📰📢 New op-ed in the Globe & Mail by @internetmaggie.com & me: Moral judgment has no place in deciding who gets to bank or not In it we summarize key points from our new report on sex work debanking, Account Closed Without Notice (see pinned 📌 post). www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/3d6ff41...

Moral judgment has no place in deciding who gets to bank or not

By treating sex-work earnings as criminal proceeds, banks have too much power to decide who gets to use the economic infrastructure that makes participation in society possible

"Adult industry workers in Canada have increasingly taken to social media to disclose their frustration with these experiences, detailing accounts being frozen and funds seized with no explanation and limited recourse."
