This is exactly right.
Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.
We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.
Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

Rifts on the Religious Right
These rifts run deep and suggest that the coalition of Christian conservatives that has powered Donald Trumpβs election campaigns cannot hold.

The Times Blithely Dismisses Concerns Over New Apostolic Reformation
Two days before Christmas, readers of the New York Times opinion page were treated to a spectacle of pooh-poohery over portrayals of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) as a significant and dangerous ...

Middle of a great thread & the point Iβd highlight as to why imposed βdemocracyβ failed in Iraq & Afghanistan. We had them *start* with elections. Thatβs not where democracy starts. It starts with a Flushing Remonstrance & a Bill of Rights β by saying what elections CANNOT change.

New Hampshire House Republicans are moving forward with a new attempt to regulate teaching on race, history, and LGTBQ+ issues in public schools. On Thursday, the chamber passed a bill that would ban ...
