“Ready or not, age verification is rolling out across the #Internet”

“It’s just a taste of the issues that many other countries might face as they launch their own systems, and it’s a situation that privacy and security experts have long warned about — to little avail.

Following a yearslong political push to make the internet safer for kids, age #verification has started seeping into online spaces across the globe. Lawmakers in the #USA, #Europe, #Australia, and elsewhere have all passed #AgeGating #rules, and platforms have begun to comply.

The likely methods for verification are similar to those in the UK. #Platforms typically ask users to either enter a #PaymentCard, upload a #GovernmenIssuedID, take a selfie, or allow a platform to use their #data (like account #CreationDates and #UserConnections) to “estimate” their age. Most rely on #ThirdParty services: #Bluesky uses the #EpicGames-owned Kids Web Services; #Reddit is working with #Persona; and #Discord has partnered with #kID.”

What does the Digital Services Act (DSA) mean for online advertising and adtech?

New blog post by Pieter Wolters and me.

Our most controversial claim is that ad networks and some other adtech companies must be considered ‘platforms’ in the sense of the DSA.

Hence, they must comply with the DSA’s general rules for platforms.

Just learned some frankly disconcerting stuff, accounts on #private #SocialMedia #platforms that have more than 10,000 followers actually get paid.

This makes me sad.

But also glad that I am dedicated to the #fediverse, #mastodon in particular.

I don’t say shit for clicks nor $$$$.

I am dedicated to the desimination of true factual #information.

I see the #FarRight #Nazi #propaganda #disinformation campaign for what it is, & I hope to be a rock in the road on the way to their #tyranny.

🤷🏼‍♀️

“A whole class of #politicians, #commentators, & #media #platforms exist to #exploit the resentments that everyday people hold toward the rich & famous. Meanwhile, rates of #SexualHarassment & #SexualAssault—reportedly experienced by 82% of women & 42% of men in the #US in their lifetime—remain as high as they were when the #MeToo movement erupted in 2017. Examining the real reasons for this is less fun—&,for many, less profitable—than imagining that Hollywood is a front for ritualistic sadism.”

You know the terms of service you don't read but accept? Here's a great website that summarises what you've agreed to.

It includes platforms and services like LinkedIn, Facebook, Amazon, Reddit, Wikipedia, and many, many more.

Read it and weep.

Or just switch platforms to more ethical providers, if you can.

Edit: And here's their profile on Mastodon! @ToSDR

tosdr.orgTerms of Service; Didn't Read'I have read and agree to the Terms' is the biggest lie on the web. Together, we can fix that.
