    Let this be a reminder to never turn away from piracy. It needs to constantly be in the background and if any company gets like they always do, then it comes back out. But if we let the knowledge fade away then it’s impossible to rebuild it.

      Piracy preserves media.

      Piracy preserves art.

      Piracy makes sure, that future generations still have access to the creations of humanity.

      Data hoarding is a service to the public.

      In Sweden pretty much anybody has Bank Id, an app which is connected to a bank account and which can function as a valid identification.

      App belongs a private company, but it’s still trustworthy and everybody can sign government docs with that.

      This is how you should do age verification, through a third party app, not like any site will get your id/picture to just end in their DBs ready to be stolen.

      Every government should create an app for the online id, I don’t get why this seems so hard to achieve.

          Do you prefer to give your personal id to any site in the world instead of using the same app which you pay your taxes with?

              Like other medias before, internet probably has reached a need for some harder control. I’m not talking about porn, I’m talking about disinformation, bots and soon AI.

              Not sure which is the best way but I’ll not give any id or credit card to any randim site in order to see their content.

    I don’t mind giving my date of birth to all the services I already pay for with credit card but face scanning? That’s just creepy. Fuck off.

      Date of birth (with some other details) is kind of a sensitive information in the right hands

        given that governments are now starting to make certain protests illegal, definitely not as bad as having your face in a database and your behaviour being mapped for suspicious illegal activity like criticising genocide.
