Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet

95% of the time reader mode bypasses the paywall and this is one of those times
Thanks babe

decentralized apps, fediverse
Those apps and / or the fediverse itself would get sued into the ground and shut down one app or server at a time. There's nothing stopping any Governments authorities from going after servers inside their borders and there's nothing stopping them from "harmonizing" identity verification restrictions among other countries. They've already done it once with Intellectual Property law.
This push to de-anonymize the Internet isn't new either. Microsoft started this back in the oughts with their Passport / Digital-ID program. Google and Meta, along with others, long ago launched their own versions and it's why you can sign into so many websites with a Google or Facebook account.
It's generally referred to as IdP and now that the Internet has been fully corporatized, with minor holdouts, you can bet your bippy that the days of anonymous access are ending.
Last time I checked, the p!rate bay still exists. In fact there are many of them. Because the website itself is open source. The same could be done with any other site. If one gets taken down, two more pop up in it's place.

Please look into how i2p works. It’s not just some form of encryption.
Please explain how you can bypass carrier enforced traffic shaping policy.
From geti2p.net:
I2P's protocols are efficient on most platforms, including cell phones, and secure for most threat models. However, there are several areas which require further improvement to meet the needs of those facing powerful state-sponsored adversaries, and to meet the threats of continued cryptographic advances and ever-increasing computing power.
The people involved in the project you're referring to acknowledge that governments can, by influencing carrier policy, disrupt and subvert the project's intended function. Why then are you implying they are incorrect?

See you guys in I2P.
What's I2P?
-
Good!! Lets jail all the pedos too
You’d be first in jail

Or ZeroNet
Is that project still alive? Their git repo hasn't been updated in years.
-
ZeroNet
What's up on ZeroNet these days?
I don't know what on there, but I do know that age verification is not on there, so...

Is it filled with the type of people that one might wish major governments could stop, though?
Not much more than the www.

Google already changed logged out YouTube to a single row of recommendations and a button to login on roku and Android shield when it used to look like the logged in version just a couple weeks ago. Probably the kick I needed to get off, mostly just using it for a couple smaller call-in/debate streamers I can switch to a podcast or other version.

I got this update on my smart TV, and I don't think Google realizes how much of an improvement it is. It's unintentionally the best thing the app has ever done.
Finally, no more fucking clickbait clutter all over the screen. I already just search for the channels I want to watch anyway. I love it.

If this happens they should check ID at church too seeing as how children are much more likely to be abused or groomed by someone there.

For my account sure. I use the same username most places. But it’s also reasonable to have a fairly decent Lemmy account that’s decoupled from all your other online accounts. Use a temp email provider, VPN, and proper browser and you’re most of the way there.
There is a lot of information in the way you type and the topics you choose to discuss. More than we suspect.

Also apps that don't need servers. Switched to this for staying in touch with family p2p, works surprisingly well https://keet.io/

Tor, and mesh networks. Every article brings me closer to going hard just for the lulz.
I have personally never found tech articles arousing in that way

You are arguing a different point here than you were above and I’m not going to entertain the misdirect.

We already have gemini. A text based internet protocol like gopher.
Whats up with gemini lately? Havent seen anything about it since before covid

the simulatenous legislaiton from all countries seems very suspicious of a certain foreign adversary backing such motives. this isnt the first things like this happened. just a hunch.

If it comes to Lemmy, I quit. I'll go touch grass all day, I don't mind.

Sure but it would be trivial for a company to build profiles on people using public apps like Lemmy.
If it was so trivial why would they even bother making everyone show their IDs?

the fuck happened to you at the end there
Ha ha ha,
