I’m gonna make a prediction before reading the article: either there isn’t an actual plan for how to do this, or it’s actually a plan to surveil adults

Woah hey look I was right

The government says firms must take “reasonable steps” to keep kids off their platforms, and should use multiple age assurance technologies.

These could include government IDs, face or voice recognition, or so-called “age inference”, which analyses online behaviour and interactions to estimate a person’s age.

Platforms cannot rely on users self-certifying or parents vouching for their children.

Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, began closing teen accounts from 4 December. It said anyone mistakenly kicked off could use government ID or provide a video selfie to prove their age.

Snapchat has said users can use bank accounts, photo ID or selfies for verification.

Senate democrats casually sacrificing 44 million lives so that their thanksgiving plans won’t be interrupted

And they’re all retiring. Don’t bother remembering their names, and instead elect good candidates. Pay attention to your local elections and don’t just vote for someone because they have a D next to their name

Everyone who caved was already either retiring or otherwise not up for reelection. Do you think it’s a coincidence that they got exactly as many yes votes as they needed? The entire democrat party needs replaced.

Not for nothing. Republicans are gonna gain a lot of support because of this. So it was actually for less than nothing

“With the outcome uncertain”

Everyone saying this needs to be fired from whatever position they hold. The outcome is 100% certain. Democrats just voted to gut healthcare.

BREAKING: Democrats officially take credit for longest shutdown in US history

I’m so livid. The Democrats just threw away the most politically advantageous position they’ve had in the last 197 years. They could have just done nothing until the next election cycle and guarantee a monumental blue wave, a blue fucking tsunami, as people would vote en masse to replace Republicans with Democrats because this shutdown was obviously 100% on the Republicans. Instead they decided to turn that politically advantageous position against themselves. They saw the Republicans tying themselves a noose, and leapt right into it.

Literally a screenshot from their website

I literally can’t imagine a box that makes things cold being made cooler by having a screen on it

It’s a fucking box that makes things cold. Humanity is cooked if we can’t bring ourselves to look away from a screen for all the time it takes to get a slice of cheese out of the fridge

Pirat gave me an egg emoji, so I baked some more cupcake emojis. Have one for getting it so close without even using a calculator 🧁

You got as far as nanoseconds so here’s a cupcake for extra credit too 🧁

The other day I saw someone ask ChatGPT how long it would take to perform 1.5 million instances of a given task, if each instance took one minute. Mfs cannot even divide 1.5 million minutes by 60 to get get 25,000 hours, then by 24 to get 1,041 days. Pretty soon these people will be incapable of writing a full sentence without ChatGPT’s input

Edit to add: divide by 365.25 to get 2.85 years. Anyone who can tell me how many months that is without asking an LLM gets a free cookie emoji

There’s no problem, so we don’t need one. We got by just fine without age verification on the internet for decades

You sell that cert to a local kid for $50

You generate another cert to sell to a local kid tomorrow

???

Profit

Oh yeah just pack up and move! What an easy solution! Why didn’t the Jews think of that back in the 30’s and 40’s? They could have ended the holocaust all on their own by simply leaving!

I fuckin wish dude

Lots of people here happy to cut off their nose to spite their face. 4chan losing this battle means everyone loses it
