Each instance can decide whether to enforce any age restriction law, and possibly get banned in whatever country if they don’t apply by it. Seeing how most websites wipe their butt with GDPR however it likely means the age-verification will only be enforced hard on the big social media networks like Facebook where mass tracking happens.

People love saying “just use federated platforms” but most of the audience aren’t on those platforms yet.

Content creators don’t make content for nobody.

Yeah I haven’t seen any of what you saw.

Nice

Brianna Wu is trans and has been actively using that to pinkwash the genocide in Gaza

Tim Apple would never violate your privacy

If there are third party print heads available for it then that changes the game. I thought it was fully reliant on HP but I haven’t researched it much.

The most common theme of censorship worldwide is most certainly Palestine.

Linux is such a mess when it comes to binaries. For all its bloatware Windows made much better choices to always bundle everything in executables

That’s true but most of the hammer is coming down on Palestine content right now. Netanyahu publicly said the goal of the TikTok purchase was to censor for Israel and they’re pulling out all the stops. ICE content isn’t nearly as censored as Palestine content atm

It’s an app developed by a Palestinian which got popular because of recent increasing censorship on TikTok and Instagram against Palestine.

Sweeny not dodging those Epstein fortnite allegations

The devs confirmed it was delisted. Not sure what its current status is. Seeing mixed messages online so it might be regional delisting or it might have been restored.

They’re taking an HP printer head and customizing only the motors and controls. This is a lot easier but also a lot more reliant on HP

I think it’s great that it now sends people to an instance. One other recommendation is to not send people to the signup page but simply to the home page of the instance. For example a redirect goes to to thelemmy.club but it states that anyone who wants to join that server needs to wait for acceptance after creating an account. This is a major turnoff for new users

https://thelemmy.club/signup

Instead the redirect going to the home page https://thelemmy.club/ would be much better as people can instantly see Lemmy and what Lemmy actually is.

Side note: ring is 100% still sending your data to ICE despite their public denial.

It has the worst privacy but somehow a lot of content and little censorship.

An Israeli software company which has been caught making spyware multiple times

Using it for daily activities is for psychos but it can be useful to find a job. LinkedIn might also be the only social media platform on which most people don’t delete their account after some time.

Element is still a main client and it’s the same people who worked for Amdocs in the past.

Everything about it screams “backdoor” to me including a supposed dev of it showing up and talking about how ethical and super duper cool the Israeli company actually is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36020947

User: “…Furthermore, 6 Israelis working for Amdocs were deported in 2002 for spying on the US. That’s not just a conspiracy theory. Its a seriously concerning fact.”

Alleged dev: “I saw absolutely zero evidence or interest in malicious activity while working at Amdoc…”

And

“They didn’t pay big money - they funded a ~15 person team for a few years”.

Because we all know bankrolling 15 devs for years is super cheap.

Their history is shady enough for me to not even consider it.
