It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

- It impacts more than "adult" content.
- It allows censorship of already marginalized groups.

Very glad to hear this year's halftime show headliner decided to use the opportunity and spotlight to say something meaningful and important rather than *checks notes* beating a dead horse.
