  • I’m not against proper age verifications as such, it would be like carding people in a store or a bar. But I just haven’t seen an implementation of it that isn’t prone to being a privacy nightmare and surveillance state shit.

    I know there’s some systems that generate a token that verify that you are 18 and you give that to the site, so neither side directly meet so to say. The site knows only that you have a valid token for being 18 and the app or service you use to generate the token knows just that you wanted to token for something. I think Spain was figuring out a system like that.


  • Israeli authorities have announced the Rafah border crossing from Gaza into Egypt will open “in coming days,” but only for Palestinians wanting to leave the war-ravaged strip.

    The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas specified the reopening of crossings such as the one at Rafah in both directions, and Hamas has criticised Israel for refusing to allow aid in through the area.

    So they’re opening it to get people to leave and not allowing aid to come in. Messed up.

    I remember people saying that libraries in the US can’t ban people watching porn on the library computers because freedom of speech or something and that homeless people deserve to watch porn too. I want to believe they were yanking my chain but it just sounds very American hah
