Fear can make surveillance feel like care. The hidden trade is that protection systems often collect the very identity and privacy people need to remain free. #Fear #Privacy

You don’t need a new law to protect kids online. Charge devices outside the bedroom. Parents first. Then the kids. That’s when a lot of the harm happens — late at night, in private rooms. Free. Simple. No digital ID required. #DigitalID #ProtectingKidsOnline #parenting #parentingtips

Discord’s new age‑assurance system isn’t a “safety upgrade.” It’s the result of state policies pushing platforms toward digital‑ID frameworks. This is the direction lawmakers are taking the internet. Read the full breakdown and join PKO to push back. vrl.link/aL

Australia just released the first real data on nationwide age‑verification laws and it’s not what lawmakers promised. 🚫 Kids weren’t protected. 🚫 Parents weren’t empowered. ✅ Surveillance expanded. 1/2

Michigan, Wisconsin and Utah all tried to pass VPN restrictions this past year. We should expect even more this year: I'm already hearing about new bills being planned in other states, including one that would make it a felony to bypass age-verification using VPN. This isn't about protecting kids.

VPN bans are a direct response to age-verification. Legislators are frustrated that people are getting around their surveillance, but rather than rethink their strategy, they're doubling down and banning VPNs. Fight the Flock-ing of the internet.

The UK seriously considered a VPN ban, keeping the possibility open of restricting VPN use to bypass age-gating. Australia flirted with “closing the VPN loophole,” as thousands of young people circumvented the world’s first social media ban for youth under 16. www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...

Age verification promises safer platforms, but it may quietly redefine speech as an identity-linked privilege. Protection matters; so does the right to speak without building a permanent dossier. #Privacy #Dignity

“…there's no such thing as "age verification" for the internet. What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance… Any attempt to save kids from online harms should start with saving kids from online surveillance…” This is how you know it’s not about saving kids from online harm.
