And Apple don’t accept passports as ID, so complaints are rolling in from non-drivers without current credit cards, who tend to be younger and in big cities. Apple just took a big shot at their foot.

More seriously how it s twisted ?

Well, someone descended from migrants hating later migrants is pretty twisted and a bit self-loathing, don’t you think? There’s got to be something wrong to want to change the rules so you wouldn’t have existed if those rules had been in place years earlier.

Also how britain is an immigrant nation ? It s a 2000 year old country. Immigration wasnt even possible in scale 100 year ago because transportation wasnt good enough.

The country of Great Britain is only just over 300 years old, but let’s pretend you meant England, which is just under 1100 years old. Boats have existed for a long time, but you’re right that they weren’t readily available to everyone, so early mass immigration events were often linked to invasions, such as the famous Normans or less famous Dutch (most recently in 1688), or expulsions and exoduses from nearby countries, such as France (Huguenots, who were about 5% of London’s population around 1700 = 30,000, with about as many in Kent) or Flanders (the Strangers). Before England was unified, there were Angles an Vikings from across the North Sea, Saxons and Romans from mainland Europe, Celts from Central Europe before them, and farmers from Spain and Turkey before that. Before that, it gets pretty hazy, but pretty much all “Brits” are descended from a mix of these immigrants.

Possibly propaganda, but a past government. The funder of that game, "Prevent", was a scheme started under the ill-fated Cameron government and by 2023, I think that was the Sunak government. Then again, why shouldn't people who act as if they're being radicalised in the game not expect their character to be nearly arrested in the game? It's extremely twisted if someone from an immigrant nation like the UK starts protesting against immigration, it's not going to end well and it's probably better for the game to explain that reality than pretend those protests don't have a downside.

The game is from 2023. Not much to do with the current government. It was also an attempt to stop radicalisation, not shame people for having stupid views on immigration.

The game when it was online would report you for taking “wrong” decision

Are you sure? The article seems to say it would have told you that your actions in the game scenario would have resulted in reporting, but the wording seems ambiguous.

Xitter, fakebook and friends are not social (more lke antisocial), not media (as they aren't subject to the full media regulations), and unsafe for adults too!

Out of the frying pan, into the Brave fire. You might want to look at the controversy around Brave, if you haven’t.

Vivaldi’s core reason can be summarised as when it comes to large projects that have been around for ages or are household names, people might not even notice the fork. But with Vivaldi’s relatively smaller footprint, we could be easier to overshadow, making our brand more vulnerable. They put their brand before user security and sustainability. And still have the gall to claim to be ethical. Sorry but that’s absurd. If imagined how it looks from outside their firm, they might wake up. Instead, they’ll probably putter along for a while, then get bought or fail or change direction or something, and their browser will be lost like the Presto Opera before them. None are so cursed as those who fail to learn from history.

Anthony is a she?

The EU that seems to be considering the evil “chat control” law to spy on everyone’s private messages? Yeah, right. Von der Leyen is a snooper at heart.

No, you have IRV, not any proportional system. IRV is better than most-takes-all but it’s still a malfunction.

In other words, whatever information you collect to do the age verification, unless you already have it, with the user’s consent, for some other purpose, you must not store their information. A lovely fairy story, based on ignoring all past and current law-breaking by the tech bro companies! But again, you mentioned the US government. What does that have to do with this? This is a law passed in Australia, but the Australian government. An entirely different country, and one with an actually functioning government and legislature. Most of the media companies are subject to US government control. If US says to track someone but Aus law says not to, who do you think they’ll obey? Australia doesn’t have an actually functioning legislature at the moment, with Labor getting over half the lower house seats from about a third of the votes, but I doubt that’s changed this bad law much. If anything, more L+N input would probably have been worse and I don’t know the other party views on it.

As a European ‘cooker’ was new to me, but I found cookerpedia.org/wiki/Cooker which is probably it. I hope you’re right that it’s nonsense but it’s way too obvious that this law ain’t gonna achieve its stated aim and has huge negative drawbacks for me to dismiss concerns so readily. Governments and oligarchs around the world seem mad keen on getting everyone’s ID and biometrics with broad consent, including the exceptions to most privacy laws, and they usually seem to tie ID laws to “won’t somebody think of the children” pleas. As others point out, the big media companies don’t have to change their algos to stop harming children or adults. Just gather their ID and whatever lies about age.

No mention of enforcement in that article. No kids getting fined or arrested for using VPNs or buying accounts off others. This law is primarily a Trojan horse to build the ID document and facial recognition databases and smash the scourge of anonymous people criticising governments and oligarchs.

Professional means available for hire, doesn’t it?

Yeah, that’s fair. In a minority of cases, with a certain app and needs to modify it to do your task, it may be true. Still rare.

So the claim is it’s easier to Claudge a whole new app than to make a personal fork of one that works? Sounds unlikely.

Perverts!

We just want this sheet to work as sold. It’s arguably evil, but boss decides to use it anyway, then it doesn’t even work right. Like, what was the point?

Didn’t know the difference between their ? and their unwrap, it seemed.

Correction: they think they’ve won, but only because they’re clueless.

Hilarious truncated headlines are hilarious.

What do you use instead for online social groups? Do you ever hit a group or business that’s only on Meta apps, whether fakebook or whatsapp?

Though I’m not sure why they want a bunch of videos of 16 year olds… Do they have pizza restaurants with secret basements in Aus? /s

[Users] who believe they have been wrongly categorised as under 16 can ask for a review and submit a “video selfie” to verify their age. They can also provide a driver’s licence or a government-issued identification. Because uploading your image and ID to Meta isn’t a security risk at all, oh no. Why are governments helping Meta and friends harvest their citizens’ data? Evil or clueness?
