Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Me with MKV files lately. It’s really annoying having to search for specific clips and images only to discover Premiere doesn’t support that type of file when literally every editing software suggests otherwise. I did find alternatives thankfully, but this issue keeps popping up every now and then.

you may have heard midnight munchies, but you’re never ready for sleepy shittys

living in america is waking up every day and learning the government wants to do something evil to you forever, and you only have one chance to stop it. and if you do somehow stop it, they're gonna try it again next week

ACLU@aclu.org · last mo.

DHS and ICE are pushing a bill, known as CORCA, to spy on all of us at malls and grocery stores nationwide. It's being sold as a way to stop shoplifting, but instead of making our neighborhoods safer it would be a massive expansion of the surveillance state. It must be stopped.

Pomni: CAINE, ARE WE RIZZ UPON THE SKIBIDI?!?!?! Caine: Nonsense Pomni, we’re skibidi upon the rizz; keep up!

We've seen what the OSA has done in the UK We've seen Texans locked out of BlueSky if they dont hand over their personal info Call your senators and tell them to vote no against KOSA and the KIDS Act Its not for the kids. Its for censorship and mass surveillance

‼️ KOSA update: ICYMI Earlier this month, a bill package that incl this bill passed out of the House in a rushed vote. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... This is alarming BUT it isn't the end of the road. Here's what we know:

Shower thought (not in the shower, but close to one): iCarly was kinda a precursor to livestreaming. There might been other concepts in the past, but in terms of having a weekly broadcast of doing random activities live while showcasing yourself to an audience was kinda revolutionary at the time.

Today is the occasion of my ascendance upon this landeth

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

Imagine that someday your witty post offends a thin-skinned fascist who wants to use his authority to ruin your life. Now imagine that he has easy access to everything you personally have ever posted, bought, liked, or read on the internet, with no anonymity or incognito mode available.

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

Do you remember the 21st night of September? Pepperidge Farm remembers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HA2...

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

NEWS: The leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will unveil a bipartisan deal Monday on guardrails for protecting kids against online harms, including a long-sought compromise on the Kids Online Safety Act. @benbrodydc.bsky.social has the details: punchbowl.news/article/tech...

So yeah, ‪Matthew Smart and I didn't stream yesterday due to us having personal plans. Sorry about the lack of communication on my front. Instead, we're going to TRY moving the final Circus episode stream this Friday; time still to be determined, but most likely around noon/1/2pm-ish.

Hey look! A reminder that Discord still plans on doing this! Raise the alarm bells again!

As early as next month, Discord could enable their global age verification measures. #privacy #ageverification theprivacycloud.substack.com/p/discord-wi...

Be louder about this. Don’t let those data centers kill wildlife or people will never go to zoos again and more species will become extinct or endangered.

Remember when people online once argued that calling them Nazis was reactionary and hyperbole? Disinformation campaigns, concentration camps, removal of civil rights, propaganda as news, decline of health & services, & now we’re at the escalation of the dehumanization step — for those keeping track

The site compares undocumented immigrants to extraterrestrials, refers to people as "it," and says "they do not belong here" n.pr/4x6Jfac

Work requirements do not work. Work requirements have never worked. Work requirements will never work. And the people making these decisions know this because work requirements for essential care funding meets their goal of further restricting access while enriching only themselves.

Adults on Medicaid will be required to work 80 hours per month. The Trump administration says people who are sick will have to prove they are too sick to work to be exempt from the new work rules. n.pr/3RK4U7X

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

Saw this on FB. If you’ve ever enjoyed Aqua Teen, please help if you can. Someone who’s such an integral part of one of Adult Swim’s most beloved shows deserves much better than this.

A lot of people don't know this, but the Backrooms and the Digital Circus have a lot more common than you'd think: endless mazes that corrupt your mind the deeper you go and bright fluorescent colors and images that burn into your oculus. For more information, look up Caine Parsons.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!! remember that even beyond june, you are loved. things REALLY FUCKING SUCK right now and thats putting it lightly. keep fighting. whether its for friends, family, or just the hope that some day things will be better, keep fighting. you deserve better <3

MEGA 🧵: Tomodachi Life: The Wolf Chronicles. Every tale starts with a once upon a time. Sorry about the phone quality going forward. This was the only method I could do right now getting around Nintendo’s prohibited video and photo sharing feature when it comes to this game.

In the midst of all this Starfox talk, I would like to give a shoutout to an indie title coming out on May 29th called Mina the Hollower. It's made by Yacht Club Games, the same people that brought you Shovel Knight and if you're a fan of action-adventure 2D platformers, I recommend checking this-
