This is because they already have faces completely figured out, and are now moving to hand identification of your person -- because you can cover your face still.


Do not, fucking, do this.



Also, you'll see a very 'unexpected' bump in the quality of hands in AI renderings from google now šŸ™„

Edit: its so sad to see everyone being such a willing PRODUCT for these corporations. They are chopping you and everyone you love up and feeding everyone into their neural networks for their explicit profit - and the loss of your freedom.

Doing the right thing means being evil I guess.

You don't have free speech on corporate platforms. You are a product here for people to see so that they can sell ad space - thats it. If you "act out of line" or are a defective product, they correct it.

We DESPERATELY need an ACTUAL public space available for free speech. Because right now no one can live stream a cop arrest on any platform if the cops play disney songs. The public aren't able to see what the public wants to say on the internet. The internet is turning into a shopping mall - try having free speech inside a department store. THATS where we're at. This is a department store - not a place for free speech.

They say they want to protect the children, but the sick fact is, they WANT the children online, so that they can start building their life long customer/consumer profiles. Collect their likes and dislikes... to start targeting ads at new minds to influence what they think. Its gross.

Parents, you shouldn't be letting your child anywhere near these companies that are forcing YOU to give your identity to them.

Its simple, if a company is forcing you to show your identity, don't let your child near that website. They do not respect YOUR privacy. They WILL. NOT. RESPECT. YOUR. CHILDS.

"If its free, you're the product" is crystal clear now. We need to normalize paying for websites. Even if its pennies a day, web sites shouldn't have to find a way to make it free. because we need to leave "the internet" (the top 10 websites) and create our own sites again. WE need to do that, each of us... and we shouldn't be expected to try and somehow make it free for everyone to use, because then YOU are incentivized to sell your visitors private information like the rest of these "Data Brokers"

Well, ones that aren't copyrightable at this point. tiktok / whoever the video sharing platform; wants to re-create all the major ideas as memes inside of itself. Like how disney took all the major concepts found in memes and turned them all into marvel memes. Only, this time, corporations out there are trying to pump the same ideas out in a new way, so that they can copyright it and profit from it - again - some how

so, shake it off, git her done, and keep on truckin

And be original, please, we need to keep selling you

______________________________________________

Its the corporations, there are like 6 of them, and we only stay in those corporations 10 websites (or so)... and they all sell our privacy to each other like modern pimps. We need to get off of these websites that treat us like the product. I can't not over state that. If you're the product, we know what that means now. We know what always clicking "I agree" COSTS us now. Its not worth it.

We need to leave these sites and start using ones that aren't selling our data.

These sick fucking corporations that are demanding our ID - WANT OUR CHILDREN ON THEIR NETWORKS. They want to build profiles on our children! THEY are the predators!!!!

"Free" websites that make you the product is not worth the cost ! ! ! ! ! !

_________________________________________________________

Every dot com out there is trying to sell as much of your private information as it can. Because everybody expects websites to be FREE. We need to normalize paying for websites - even if its pennies a week. and paying for it anonymously.

Otherwise, we will just be a stream of people to exploit to anyone who runs a website. The people do not have respect from website owners. Youtube doesn't respect us. Reddit doesn't respect us. Google has never respected us. Facebook doesn't respect us. Swastika dot com mechahitler doesn't respect us. Microsoft doesn't respect us.

We need to leave the "top 10" websites/corporations and repopulate the HARD and UNUSEFUL internet. Where free doesn't mean you're the product.

If you're here, you're probably smart enough to create your own server and host your own forums. I would appreciate if anyone here would reach out to me to help me do the same. dms leh open

They want children so bad they are forcing you to give up your identity to "protect them"

Its not worth it. What could possibly be worth telling corporations, whos whole business model is selling information about you, your verified identity? They don't deserve it. There is NOTHING on these platforms worth that. You can't ever erase what you do on their sites after that. They will hold onto your identity forever now. There is no going back after that. What could possibly be worth sacrificing your privacy and freedom to the world most powerful people?


_______________________________________________
Here's the real problem. Every dot com out there wants your children online. There is too much money to be made by having children use the internet. They WANT children online, so that they can start the life long consumer profiling and advertising/manipulation. And because THEY want children online, YOU have to give up your identity to allow that to happen.

fuck that

I say; Ban everyone under 18 from the internet.

in the mean time - Don't let your children onto any website that is forcing you to give up your identity. Those websites Do Not respect YOUR privacy, they will not respect your childs privacy either. These companies and major websites are collecting more data about your child than they can know about themselves. They CAN'T be careful against a system this manipulative.


_________________________________________________________

They don't Spy on you, YOUšŸ‘AREšŸ‘THEšŸ‘PRODUCT !!!

Thats the case with every free website! Your only purpose for them is to be someone on their service that other people will want to contact and interact with - so they can sell ads to those people. Thats it. You are a product to attract people to sell ads to.

You are a product used to attract people that they sell ads to.

If you're a Defective Product - if you step out of line or stop looking so sellable to the REAL customers (corporations) They. Will. Correct. You. You will be silenced, censored, shut down, corrected.

They don't "spy" into your privacy, you had none to begin with. They don't Spy into some kind of privacy that you think you have on THEIR computers.

You are a THING on their computers they will use and exploit in ways you can't even imagine.

and im on reddit too, where I do 99% of my keyboard warrioring…. but whatever


← Sorry cellphone users, this page is for desktops →

Im here because my youtube comments were removed the other day. (and I need more than 300 characters to say what I need to say on bluesky)

First, my youtube account was locked because ā€œI might be under 18ā€

then, I noticed my comments were being removed

I don’t even know if people can see my comments on Youtube :(
I suppose… can I link them here? whatever

My comments have also started to be removed from reddit.

I am scared shitless that we won’t be able to say what we need to say to one another. That we will be silenced before we can make meaningful connections. I also want to do so while saying

FUCK YOU TO ALL DATA BROKERS.


Privacy is freedom. We must maintain places where voices can still be heard.

Joe, the best thing you could be doing right now is convincing all republicans in every district to recall/impeach their sitting representatives. You don't have to pretend to be a democrat to do that.

I am going to repeat my youtube comments HERE because youtube keeps deleting my comments.

Louis, I would love to tell you what I think in the comments, but youtube has been deleteing my comments. I ask you as a content creator, why are you asking people to engage with you in a way thats being censored? What motivation do I have to comment at all? We need to leave these platforms that treat us like the product! I've started putting copies of my comments on my blog because of this!

Please upvote this comment if you see it. Youtube has been deleting my comments. I want to talk about this exact topic, but every time I do, its been removed. PLEASE!! Someone HELP ME! I don't even know if anyone can hear me on this platform anymore! I started repeating my youtube comments on my other socials because again I don't know if youtube is deleting when I talk about this! We need to get off of these sites that do not respect our privacy. They are saying its "for the children" because THEY WANT CHILDREN ON THEIR NETWORKS!!!! THEY are the predators! THEY want to start building "consumer" profiles on your children, so they can start the manipulation we are all feeling the burn out from. DON'T let your children onto any website that is demanding your ID. THEY don't respect your privacy, THEY. WILL. NOT. RESPECT. YOUR. CHILDS!!!

I want to write code to replace everything I use that exploits me, but even the number 1 code sharing site is owned by microsoft, meaning, you can’t even run free open source software without making money for microsoft.

I need an alternative to github.

and even if I were to use one - would people even trust it?

or, lets say I do sign up with github and I have a ā€œpageā€ for my code - would I even be allowed to say ā€œMy code isn’t here, its hosted elsewhere, stop using github.ā€

I need your help. I need to connect with people who don’t want to join a fanclub. Us privacy loving individuals must somehow find each other :|

I have so many ideas about what I can give. But I want to build with someone else, not just by myself.

I plan to use this site god damnit. I plan to make this a hub where I can say whatever I want.

The internet is dying folks.

This is the first site I came across that would take my protonmail pass web throwaway e-mail address.

and this site feels like refrigerator magnets :(

First of all, I am a real human. I am not a bot. We are at an impasse now… I want to keep my personage private while trying to convince everyone that I am a real person.

This is the first site i’ve had in a long, long time. I have places on reddit and bluesky and spacehey, and now this.

Lets hit publish and see what happens

Something about yourself

Made on mmm
