And I also asked for academic sources for this claim of "age verification but without identity verification". You have yet to do so. Im willing to accept I'm wrong with evidence. But so far, it just gets worse and worse. With your solution you need a bank permission.

KYC would absolutely refute this "cant be traced back". By definition, KYC and a unique transaction ID explicitly ties it to the card owner. And this solution also only says "person who has card is X person". 13 year old could take and use card. And its not defeatist to call out bad choices.

Im game for reading any academic papers you can point me towards. Only way forward here is to assume everyone is a child, until they identify. I'm seeing "upload your drivers license" on various discords, facial recognition, and other onerous shit. This is how discord mods are doing it right now.

"Verify age without identifying customer" is the same energy as "cryptography but not for bad people", ala Clipper chip or more recently with Chat Control. This shit is going to lead us to an internet that is gated precisely to our legal identity. All because of 'but the children' idiots.

Quite frankly, Im done with jamming shit policy with "but the children". The UK is inflicted with this garbage of "everybody is a child until you identify yourself", and then every fucking thing you do is tracked with your legal name. And we're seeing this in the USA as well.

Remember, Congress can impeach, remove and jail. This isnt just trump's scam. This is every republican in on this, AND many democrats.

That seems it would permit the legitimate use of requesting asylum. If you can get away. Id say to go to Canada.. but the USA is the only "safe 3rd country" www.canada.ca/en/immigrati... .🤮 Perhaps Mexico City? But trans folk are kinda fucked right now.

That he was going to shoot up the school. Hell, even as a 12 year old, never made those sorts of comments. Sure I beat a few bullies up. Black eyes, hurt egos... But never more than fisticuffs.

AI bullshit cannot fix the fact they've lost access to most of the shows that originally made Netflix great. And now, everyone and their cat has a "streaming service". So to what what you used to, you now need like 10 different services. Or you set it up yourself with #Jellyfin and rip/pirate.

Naturally, its more bad christians using religion to destroy more good public policy and healthcare. Evidently all the verses of healing the sick, like Matthew 4:23-25, don't count for "those" diseases.

All of this is "legal". Every bit of it. Why? Cause the "people with legal rights to arrest and shoot you" haven't done diddly shit. So, its legal. Doesn't make it right, or constitutional. But we've left that for a while now.

Cory Doctorow wrote a story abut this. He published it free online. And honestly, pushing people with no other choices to the brink of death could definitely do this. prospect.org/culture/book...

I've also been bitten by this. Company offered free shipping. Went through USPS. That turned into "pay us for getting nothing". Put in a complaint with the USPS Inspector General.

Or... Canada and Mexico had backchannel talks to lie to trump. And they get a 1 month concession with "we promises to do blablabla" all the while planning to cut off the USA completely. If the US wants to be isolationist, then they'll isolate.

These are my "representatives". We've been gerrymandered to hell and back. Im going to go out on a limb and say they do not give one shit. Or worse, they are complicit.

I have NEVER listened to a "vinil" record. I do have an assortment of 33 1/3's, 45's and even a few 78's. And I have 8 tracks and a player. But I have never listened to a "vinil" record.

Zuckerberg wrote, "Yeah, so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS." A friend inquired, "What? How did you manage to obtain all that?" Zuck replied, "People just submitted it. I don't know why they 'trust me.' Dumbfucks."

Sorry but just encrypting all the things doesn't work. When the SSL requires network trust, and you have the network, most encryption falls apart. The only encryption that works properly under adverse network situations are preshared keys. Thats why the old cryptopunks did keysharing parties.

Part of the problem is if you try to submit a CVE. If they're a "partner", you have to submit TO THE COMPANY. The company, especially if a commercial interest, doesn't want vulnerabilities published. Vulne should go to an independent org.

Liberal circular firing squad is a thing, while republicans hunker down and attack anyone they deem a threat, which is anybody who isn't a WASP. Liberals get triggered cause you didn't *ask* their pronouns. AOC is trying to do right.
