Good. There are lots of things we can and should do to address the harm that Big Tech's business model does to kids.
Government-mandated online ID checks (aka "age verification") is not one of them
It doesn't work. It expands surveillance. It's unconstitutional

As an outdoors enthusiast in the U.S. northeast who operates trail cams, I've long been familiar with mountain lion truthers. But I've only just become acquainted with BADGER TRUTHERS and boy are they dedicated.
There was a hilarious slash cringe scandal about 15 years ago when a college professor (?) gave a TEDx talk full of nonsense, possibly to make a point about what people were willing to believe as long as it βsounded smart.β They tightened the screws after that embarrassment
Anything for the TED main stage or satellite events is fact-checked. For TEDx, organizers run the risk of losing their licenses if a talk turns out to be easily disproven, so clearly you were deemed trustworthy! (Also some events fact-check after the speech but before it goes online.)
One annoying thing about the "run the government like a business" guys is that they also are terrible at running businesses. I run my podcast "like a business" in the sense that things are made to a high quality and shipped on time, but it seems their only version of "good business" is "layoffs"
Tweet from the world's dumbest fascist reading: there is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers. If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.
Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.
Fake post by @elonmusk X Follow Here's the hard truth: this country's billionaires are tired of subsidizing everyone else's schools, parks, health care, even food and entertainment. You want nature? Buy some land. Health care? Befriend a doctor. Entertainment? Roll around in the mud with your fellow pigs
I see this fake post is making its way around social media again.
Itβs not real β Elon never posted it.
Itβs not even how he writes, why are people so bad at this?
The man gives you plenty to work withβ¦
I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...
Democrats donβt need donations, they need a clue. Kamala Harris raised $1 billion to Trumpβs $850M only to be swept in every swing state and lose the popular vote.
Giving that party any money without serious change occurring first is enabling their incompetence.
this is so embarrassing. when will Dem leadership stop letting Blumenthal drive their tech agenda?
There hasnβt been this much talk about a targeted assassination in New York City since the tragic events of February 2, 2014
15 years ago, I wrote this about an emerging, rather illegal music service. Read it now and itβs wild to conceive of just how much digital music changed. Thought about it while hearing a bunch of teenagers talking about their Wrapped stats on the subway. www.cnet.com/culture/spot...
happy Spotify wrapped day to runners - our most embarrassing day of the year
The replies to this are exactly what you think they would be and they are an absolute joy.

Iβm so fucking tired of girlboss career advice from women that are financially secure for life thanks to wealthy husbands or fathers.

An advertising based business model is incompatible with an API strategy that enables 3rd party clients. Most social apps figured this out a decade ago which is why Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc donβt have such APIs.
Itβs a legacy from pre-2010 tech culture.
I can't stand plain mayo, always hated it. But my latest guilty pleasure is using chipotle mayo instead of butter when making grilled cheese

thanks to perspective, an 18-pound black cat (who thinks she is a panther) and a 60-pound brown dog appear to be the same size
I like how this photo makes it look like Minerva and Becky are the same size

I donβt!!! We just made the reservation egregiously far in advance
a very murdery little black cat who thinks she is a real live panther naps next to a big dumb dog (brown lab mix) and shockingly is not trying to do any murdering
They napped together. I repeat. They napped together.
