Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyโre under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

If youโre part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.
๐จ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropicโs Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.
The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.
That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

This is worth mentioning to your friends who traded their ChatGPT for Claude subscriptions - Claude helped kill all of those little girls at school in Iran. Anthropic isnโt ethical AI.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
Enshrouded's not incredible, but it's pretty unique imo.
Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera. By clicking "Start Verification" below, you understand that you will be leaving Twitch and will be redirected to Persona's service, and further understand and acknowledge that Twitch may send Persona limited personal information about you to facilitate the identity verification process, in accordance with Twitch's Privacy Notice. Information you provide to Persona will not be used for any purposes other than to verify your identity and will not be stored for longer than necessary to fulfill this purpose. Need Help?

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4
Alright I clearly need to stop procrastinating on becoming a member of EFF and ACLU.

This is disgusting. It's never to "protect the children", it's always an attempt to control people and sell their data.
Privacy should be a human right.
Oops. Turns out Persona, Discordโs age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.
โThe state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.โ
this is the pitch that got so many companies on board and investing in the bubble. This is the naked truth of what capitalists want: pure unhindered income once the annoyance of people needing food, shelter and healthcare is removed. They'll be able to sequester themselves away from us permanently
I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

So I guess it didnt matter when Australia forced the age verification a few months back.
I already verified then and now I have to do it again just so Palantir can have my information?
Get outta here
Don't give discord your face or ID.
Do not.
Want to repeat what's being mentioned in the replies; Kotaku's headline is misleading and the article is vague. Discord did NOT cut ties!
good job to all the posters who are helping make it a dangerous business model for businesses like Ring and Discord to work with fascists
I've had a Discord account since 2017.
By their TOS, i could not / should not have signed up before i was 13, meaning they should already know i'm at least 19 Y.O.
This was never about protecting children, it's about destroying privacy.
Just in case it wasn't clear:

Notice reading: "Important: If you're located in the UK, you may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona. The information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted. For ID document verification, all details are blurred except your photo and date of birth, so only what's truly needed for age verification is used."
Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone

It's kinda why it's more important to bully Discord as much as possible, since not only are there not that many good alternaltives, Discord has been known to fold due to immense backlash before
You probably shouldn't trust Discord with your anonymity.
