Because, dickhead, preventing innocent people from dying of preventable diseases is a noble cause.
You a clearly parroting the orange idiot with your "shithole countries" stupidity.
Grow the fuck up, moron.
That orange idiot is clearly a very sick puppy. Anybody with 2 brain cells to rub together knows who is truly deranged.
What a vile, disgusting little man he is.
There is obviously no limit to how low he will go.
Let's see the maga goons try and defend this.
And yet the federal government refuses to put the brakes on the endless fucking gambling ads we have to endure every time we switch the television on.
People lose millions of dollars, ruin their relationships and generally mess up their lives through gambling, but hey, we've kicked kids off social media!
Brilliant.
conduct that bears a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture.
That would be just about everyone on the planet right now, with those arseholes running the country.
I bought a so called "gaming mouse", whatever the hell they are supposed to be, years ago, took it home and plugged it into my Linux box and hey, guess what? It fucking worked! And it's been working ever since. If someone is trying to sell you "upgrades" to your mouse, they should be told in no uncertain terms where to go.
No, she doesn't have a case. We have a long and proud history in Australia of mocking people like her. Tall poppy syndrome and all that. She is an entitled so and so, who thinks she can bully whoever she likes simply because she's filthy rich. Her father, Lang Hancock the mining gazillionaire, once said that Aboriginal people should be sterilised so that they eventually don't exist anymore. This would solve the "Aboriginal problem", according to him. That's the background she's coming from. She deserves every bit of mockery she gets.
And all this when we have TV ads running, telling us to use strong passwords bla bla, because of the amount of Australians falling victim to online scams.
One news outlet has taken one of the possible "solutions" and more or less stated that that is how the proposed system would probably work.
Fail.
If a system for age verification is implemented,it will only be far worse, not better. Where does it stop? I was actually shocked to find out about the requirements for facial scanning. Seriously? Just so you can have a steak and a beer?
We no longer have to speculate about what dystopia looks like. We're standing in it.
Here in Australia, the reporting has been overwhelmingly that a big flight is coming between Meta and the government. Reporting, I might add, from the usual suspects.
The prime minister has said the government is "looking at all options", whatever the hell that means. I don't see how Meta et al can be forced to host content. I think the Americans call it compelled speech, if I'm not mistaken.
Extortion is alive and well in Australia!
I had to look up the Tundra. We don't have much Tundra in Australia, funnily enough. Another gargantuan shitbox that you can't see past and that guzzles petrol at an alarming rate. Fantastic! Just what we need. I can't wait to be hit by one sometime in the near future.
As an Australian, I'm absolutely horrified by this.
Our media organisations have been totally asleep at the wheel over this. They are all agog at the news of the Tay Tay tour, as if that's fucking news. I only found out about it after reading this article today.
So if this shit goes ahead, we will all truly be suspects, with broken encryption and a sign on our foreheads that says "Hi criminals, come on in to my computer/phone/whatever device and ruin my life"!
Just fucking marvellous!
Morons.
I never have to show my license when buying alcohol, so what's your point?
Storing people's images on a server somewhere is a disaster just waiting to happen, or don't you read the news?
My online viewing habits will remain "frictionless" because I will never willingly provide my image to some random third party.
Not.Gonna.Happen.
I visit far too many American (and I presume Californian) websites anyway.
Any website trying to pull this shit on me would instantly go onto the "do not visit" list.
The sock puppets for the age verification businesses/whatever must think we are all children if they believe we'll swallow their garbage assurances.
There is precisely zero coverage of this in the media. It's like a silent pandemic of a different kind. Little by little our technically illiterate government chips away at freedoms, because: terrorism, pedophiles, drugs!
All the usual tropes are employed as the same tired old scare tactics. We deserve better than these bozos as our so called leaders.
And no, encryption is not illegal here, as someone stated. The government just wants to fuck us all via the back door.
Because it's the right thing to do
And your parroting of the orange idiot's bile shows us how intelligent you are.
You really are an arsehole
Because, dickhead, preventing innocent people from dying of preventable diseases is a noble cause. You a clearly parroting the orange idiot with your "shithole countries" stupidity. Grow the fuck up, moron.
You mean the Africa that has all those deficient democracies and autocratic countries? Or is there another Africa that we don't know about?

Jesus fucking Christ America. Why are you letting that arsehole do that shit? It'll soon be 1933 again.
And pressing F12 will now become illegal.
Watching this from the other side of the Pacific fills me with dread about where America is going. What a bitch indeed.

Wow, did you make up that last line all on your own?
