If the government weakens Section 230 and passes KOSA.
KOSA may require you to upload your ID to sites. Or the government will develop age verification at the device or operating system level. And seeing as this government is corrupt as fuck, it won’t just be “age verification”.
If the darkweb is no longer a thing, well all there will be on the internet is propaganda basically. I see no point in paying for that myself.
Since most if not all my bills except rent, is internet related, I’ll save over $100 a month.
Everybody in congress and the senate needs to be fired. Democrats included.
Don’t you remember Craigslist Personals? I’m pretty sure it was the government who made them remove it, they passed some law or something. Yeah people abused it for prostitution. That doesn’t mean Craigslist endorsed it. They could have just got more moderators, or not just relying on people reporting stuff.
Eventually, all that’ll be on TV is propaganda too.
If things don’t get better, I guess I won’t be using tech online. If at all. Might want to get rid of the stuff while it’s still worth money, or sell to somebody who believes in propaganda, or doesn’t mind age verification spyware.
What’s bullshit, is I won’t be able to do my online visits for my counseling anymore. Not that I should do it online if things don’t get better. Eh, eventually no health insurance anyways. Or money.
Bluesky might be gone soon.
Will age verification be required to use the internet or just some sites?
Remember conservatives say “don’t tread on me”, so I’d think they’d be pissed.
Intel CPUs might not be safe, with their IME. And neither is AMD. Perhaps if you use a network card that has a chipset newer then the computer, it won’t be able to access internet. Unless you updated the bios, like I did recently on my desktop. And laptop. Not the SFF PC though.
Perhaps a Raspberry Pi 5 is safer nowadays.
