FRESHLY RESTOCKED: Microslop - https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/microslop-parody-t-shirt "It's all fun and games until you have to plug an ID into a keyboard," Wendell said. We talk about ID verification law and its intrusiveness for internet usage, free speech, and the intersection with technology. Services like VPNs may be on the chopping block, following router bands and control and ID verification requirements for website usage. We also talk about awareness of what's happening and getting involved at hearings and townhalls to fight back at local levels.

Days without state surveillance news: 0
" protect the children" however nobody on epstein list gets arrested
I'm so early I haven't yet been falsely arrested by a Flock camera
I wanna go back to the 90s when I was playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and none of this shit was a thing
2006: don’t hand your personal information to anyone 2026: give us your biometric data or we’ll take it anyway
That title is nightmare fuel. Thanks gamersnexus.
I'm so old that I can buy alcohol and cigarettes without a valid ID. Nevertheless, we survived. Now, in my old age, I'm going to have to show my ID to use Discord? Hell no
Person be like "I have nothing to hide" and I be like: "only until they change what you need to hide, and then it's too late"
There is no such thing as "informed consent" when society at large is incapable of understanding an issue enough to resist the propaganda.
I am so old, I could buy alcohol and cigarettes without an ID. Yet we survived. Now at my old age I'm going to show my id to use discord? HELL NO.
Ah yes, now Microslop will know if I correctly informed my 2 year old son that he's being wiretapped and eavesdropped by my LG monitor. We live in utopia!
Having to purchase a fake ID as an adult to simply go online was never on my bingo card in life.
Thank you for raising awareness of these major societal issues. To everyone else: do not comply with or accept this madness. Use open-source, privacy-focused, and secure services, and software, spread the word, and help those who are less technically experienced do the same. The only way we can preserve our freedom is by helping one another and refusing to accept mass surveillance.
The era of "No ID, No PC" is upon us.
Part of why I love the internet is anonymity as a choice. It being taken away is bad for a lot of reasons and goes against some of its core fundamentals
"It's the end of the world that as we know it" and I feel nauseas.
The ID requirement is a step towards policing the internet and controlling what content you are allowed to see. Next step is banning all sites that have no ID verification or have dissident political content and make the internet a massive surveillance system.
I refuse to upload my ID for anything. I don't care if they drive me back to using a rotary phone.
The system has failed to verify Steve, please insert a Steve.
