    I love how mask off they were in choosing Palantir as their dipshit company name. Like, “Yes, hello, you are now calling Anakin Skywalker’s Daycare Service. Are you looking to enroll your child.” Bet our political elite would love that one.

    Oh, good. Discord’s age verification rollout has ties to Palantir’s co-founder Peter Thiel. That’s the nail in the coffin for me. It’ll be Matrix only from me from now on!

    Wooooowwwww. It’s being used for exactly what I said it would be~

    I know a lot if us are not even surprised in the least, but i hope some of the head-in-the-sand naysayer motherfuckers wake up and learn something.

    When they say the images wont leave your computer. Its because they converted it to facial geometry. They dont want the images because they take too much storage.

    When they say they will delete it after processing, processing includes sending a copy to whoever else theyve agreed to share it with. Palantir, im sure here, maybe through an intermediary data broker.

    I deleted my discord account immediately when the news of this face-check-age-check broke

    More and more things we give away because parents can’t be bothered to parent their kids. This is exactly how they win by slowly chiseling away our perceived rights until there is nothing left. I’ll certainly not participate in any Internet that requires me to shed my anonymity.

      Okay, this has nothing to do with parents parenting their kids. It has 100% to do with the perception that the internet is dangerous and using that perception to collect information about people. That’s what they want, to put a name and face to all interpersonal interactions so they can use them for marketing and law enforcement.

        Social media converted half of Americans into nazis in about a decade and elected Trump twice. If you don’t think the internet is dangerous, you’re not paying attention.

        That said, it’s easy to keep kids off instagram and TikTok without spying. Simply require devices to which children have access to be sold without access to half the internet. Problem solved.

          Some folks would say half of America had always been either Nazis or Nazi sympathizers. But we just call those later groups, Nazis.

            30% of humans were always evil. But we didn’t have criminal pedophile cabals openly running the country. Something changed with the rise of social media. You know what that is.

            Pass the law. Word it properly. Let the market do something useful for once and accommodate the new rules.

      The antichrist is a convenient label he can apply to anyone he perceives as impeding his personal economic growth or power.

      Once you have a few million dollars, you aren’t gay or straight anymore. You’re just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can’t be one of us even in name. He’s just a billionaire who fucks men. And they’re OK with anything that comes after “billionaire” by nature.

        Don’t worry, he fucks everyone. He fucks his employees, he fucks his customers, he fucks government and he fucks the victims of his software.
