So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

    maybe for you…but not for me.

    I’ll switch back to a dumb phone and run a Linux distro so obscure nobody’s seen it for 25 years.

    fuck em. I’ll never comply with this shit.

      Step 1: make some kind of surveillance & control system that is voluntary

      Step 2: make life for those who dont want it less convenient (you are here)

      Step 3: make non-participation in the system be in itself suspicious and a cause for further investigation

        I don’t deny that roadmap, but there is nothing I can do to stop this.

        we can try all we want, but it still won’t stop them from moving the goal and trying again.

        I’m tired of trying to convince people the worst is yet to come. all I can do is help myself and protect my family.
