If there was ever advice I could give anyone, it's have a favorite bad movie. Just something that you whole heartedly love because it entertains you in the best way even if it's not good and can watch anytime.

Here's a longer piece about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's bizarre support of 230 repeal. We're collecting comments on a letter to him here: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

Please share!! I stayed up until 2am to get this out in under 24 hours 😭
Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a 12-minute response video to people mad at him supporting mass surveillance and censorship, and somehow got even MORE wrong about Section 230 than his original congressional testimony.

Since I already had to ruin my NICE and NEAT two post thread I do wanna add another point:

Yea it's not just about NSFW. It's a greater goal of suppressing LGBTQ+. Fight this.

But. If it WAS just about NSFW. I would hold the same position. It's valid all on its own. I STAND ! WITH ! THE FREAKS !

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

You and your trusted third party partners leaked thousands of people's information so no, only requiring Facial Scans and Govt IDs for some users is still not good enough. You're actively making the internet less safe.
Discord has posted updated clarification:

-Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID to use Discord
-The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age

Not surprised that Discord lied, but fucking FURIOUS that they're sending them to a company linked to bloody Peter Thiel.

Meaning any data given to Discord is absolutely going to be given to ICE and other similar groups.
Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Without Section 230, platforms would face enormous pressure to remove honest user reviews of businesses. www.eff.org/pages/inter...

Section 230 helps make it possible for online communities to host user speech: from restaurant reviews, to fan fiction, to collaborative encyclopedias. But recent debates about the law often overlook

Even if your area already has ID laws enacted! You can push back against them! Please do not be complacent!

Youve gotta bother the shit out if your representatives about the issue of online ID laws, its not a discord only problem nor is it limited to nsfw content

Please get involved
I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

highly doubt any of this is true for the record. they said the same thing about UK and Australian age verification and i know people in their forties who discord couldn't infer were of age. don't buy it

A very good point. While calling out corporations is important, our government is trying to force av laws like KOSA and SCREEN on EVERYONE under the guise of "protecting kids". Call your reps + tell them to OPPOSE these bad bills. #SaveSpeech #Stopageverification #StopKOSA

Yeah, let what is happening to Discord radicalize you against the encroaching of puritan fascism we are seeing in laws world wide.

The US, Canada and a good chunk of the EU like Spain are looking into making laws that will actively do the same for a more expansive area of the internet.

Call and mail your representatives. Demand they oppose legislation like KOSA/The SCREEN Act, oppose/revert online ID legislation, and advocate for protecting section 230.

Standing up against these laws, both in the USA and numerous other nations, is integral for a whole host of issues

Gaza? Minnesota? Venezuela? If these and more matter to you, then you need to get active because these laws will handicap any online organizing for MANY causes

Just speaking as an Aussie who had this shit forced on us, the age presumption shit doesn't always work and you're just locked out without providing the scans/ID

Don't take that "most people will be fine" shit

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.

Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

Please watch or at least skim some of this. We are closer than ever before to the repeal of Section 230 and she explains it perfectly. If you have no idea what this means, I suggest you get informed. We're closer than ever before with such a lax public response to Flock, Alexa, Ring, Palantir, etc.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supporting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda, boosting a proposed law by Lindsey Graham that would mass deplatform LGBTQ people and censor abortion content from the internet. And he's trying to frame it as progressive!

Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)

There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means
