More cameras and microphones mean “more eyes and ears are available to adversaries, regardless of the original intention,” EFF’s Samantha Baldwin told @arstechnica. “Creating a dystopian world full of computerised eyes and ears is not the solution.” https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/03/after-discord-fiasco-age-check-tech-promises-privacy-by-running-locally-does-it-work/

Users hate it, but age-check tech is coming. Here's how it works.

@eff @arstechnica "Users hate it, but age-check tech is coming."

I love how they word it as a thing that just some slight annoyance/inconvenience and something we can't do anything about so we should just accept it.

No. *NO*

@eff @arstechnica

Don't use the sites that will violate your rights. They ask for verification which does nothing but steal from me, I don't use there services. Simple

Most of it is BS, only the asshole companies want it, the rest still provide the same service even though they say it's a law for a state.
