Thank fuck this draconian surveillance law didn’t pass.
This time. They'll keep trying, like all the times before.
Edit:
Talk about a fucking misnomer! That's like calling house arrest "voluntary location management" 🙄
I like the expression "voluntold".
Well, yes, but also considered that many companies are just implementing invasive identification practices anyway. Discord is just the most recent. It seems to have the added benefit of being an added barrier to market entry for their competitors.
...and out right kills some of those competitors who's business model depends ds on privacy.
We're starting to see more and more of this. These tech companies that used to be innovators and favor a somewhat open internet aren't building for innovation and communication. They're building dependence.
Between Google, Meta, and Microsoft the average user is being locked into a digital gilded cage. Policed by AI with no heavy censorship and no ownership of data.
Yes this law was defeated but the fight is endless, and right now we need to be watching big tech as much as lawmakers.
I’m fairly sure the regulations only kick in when the service has something millions monthly active users.
That's a naive way to frame this. The fact is that many companies implemented invasive identification practices already 10 years ago. These laws are an attempt to bring some democratic control and properly enforced age limits to all of it.
