KYC requirements mostly just create friction for regular people while criminals have the resources and know-how to bypass them. All they do is build a false sense of security and hand your personal data to companies that will inevitably leak it. #privacy #cybersecurity #identity

Good-natured but justifiably grumpy, middle-aged, neurodivergent, dog servant. I am in the process of building, and settling into a new life, and becoming more comfortable in my skin after multiple formal diagnoses in my mid-fifties. I tinker with stuff, computers, bits of wood, plants, and I love music, mainly jazz, and contemporary classical, and also enjoy a good book series. So, essentially I love to potter about, it's my happy place, and it's good for my wobbly brain. #bpd #cptsd #adhd #asd

My technical know-how falls short by a long way and I'm having a little trouble figuring out whether I get what I want from the Fediverse. By my limited understanding AT Protocol allows for a 'nomadic' id/datastore (PDS) but with ActivityPub, the nearest we get to that is by having your own instance of an app of your choice and plugging it in/out of other peoples, but your data can only really live in *your instance of *that app??

Thanks to the FEC and OpenSecrets we’re able to find who’s lobbying and funding the age verification laws.
Interestingly enough it turns out the same entities are the largest funders of the UK Online Safety Act, California’s Age-Appropriate Design Code, Digital Age Assurance Act and New York’s SAFE for Kids Act. so here it is:
Oak Foundation funds:
- 5Rights Foundation (they run the Kids Code Coalition and are UK based)
- Fairplay
- Common Sense Media
Oak Foundation is funded solely by Alan M. Parker the British billionaire who co-founded Duty Free Shoppers.
Common Sense Media (one of Oak’s funded orgs) is also independently funded by:
- Bezos Family Foundation
- Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)
- Gates Foundation
- Dell Foundation
- Craig Newmark Philanthropies
- Hewlett Foundation
- Tom Steyer / Kat Taylor
Combined, the funding flowing into this advocacy ecosystem exceeds $100M/year.
Now you know.

I am tired of #safety and #security being treated as essential barriers of entry, to get things done on an #everyday level. Please stick to #passwordless #logins and #MagicLinks if you must use something, and let the account holder, not the holder of accounts, verify by a manner of each of our choosing, how to prove we are who we say we are. This is far more secure and less prone to #identity #impersonation as a result.

Due to the massive wave of backlash, Discord is postponing its global #AgeVerification until the second half of 2026.
Public backlash works, good job everyone. 👏
🚨But: Discord has not stopped its plan, just put it on hold.

Who Are You? Part Two
Do you remember the scene in that classic film What about Bob? in which Bob arranges to have himself tied to the mast of a sailboat? He wants to be included in his friends’ activities despite his fears, and as the boat goes forward he yells with pride, “I’m sailing! I’m a sailor! I sail!”
We chuckle, but what exactly makes this scene so funny? I think it’s the absurd juxtaposition of an identity claim with evidence that it’s not true. I love this scene because those statements represent three overlapping but not identical realities. To get grammar-nerdy about it:
The present participle “I’m sailing” implies that this occurrence is happening right now, but might not happen regularly. I’m not swimming or walking. I’m sailing.

Why I'll always speak my mother language of Bangla, while embracing a new life in Canada
"Every time I hear my mother tongue, Bangla, it feels like home, even when home is far away," writes Steinbach's Itrat Anwar. "That's why everyone should celebrate their own mother language, no matter where in the world they live."
