Do you guys remember when American Online was the entire Internet and if you did something bad in AOL chat, they would suspend your whole Internet service? Is this what we're coming to? Why aren't the tech bros stopping it? I thought they were Libertarians.
It's been 20 years and I had no idea AOL stood for American Online.
>>108794486Leftist tech bros love the idea of silencing, censoring and arresting anyone who they consider not-leftist, especially since the internet became the main way of organizing for everyone that is against the leftist status quo.So they are gladly building the infrastructure for it.I hope federated internet or another type of internet becomes the new popular thing because things are looking grim.
>>108794486>I thought they were Libertarians.No, they pretended to be to get support. They're in the pocket of the government.
>>108794486>is apple libertarian
>>108794486>tech bros>LibertariansLMAO hahahahahaahhaa
>>108794486>press Confirm LaterOkay, who wants brunch?
>>108795221it will block all nsfw Websites directly in WebKit so you cant circumvent the censorship with a different DNS server or a VPN
they are not libertarians. don't be stupid>>108794740self-sovereign identity and decentralization will create a separate web. it won't be that popular. being a sponge and worshiping the status quo will always be more popular. but it will be there for us.

>>108795467>serious violence against a person, an animal, or a fictional creature>serious violence against a fictional creatureWhat the actual fuck is wrong with the British? Are they dumb subhumans? Did everyone with an IQ over 90 really leave for America?
>>108795623there's like 10 countries with this active now retard
>>108795587other countries exist than the United States
>>108795655Sadly for you, US still controls most of the world, if US is censoring something, you better believe most other countries will follow.
>>108794486>do NOT update your iphonelol. most people will cave.
you can thank zuckerberg for pushing this shit along with the rest of his clan
>>108794486>Why aren't the tech bros stopping it?retards vote for right wing parties and act surprised when they pass right wing policies lol. tech bros aren't locking your phone down, the corporation is following the law.
>>108795655the entire anglosphere is either the USA or american puppet states. if english is your primary language, project 2025 applies to you.
>>108795587>>108795903>Tard believing in the project 2025 scapegoat.Fucking lmao. They've been releasing them every year for a long time now.
>>108795921>They've been releasing them every year for a long time now....yes? the republicans tend to follow those recommendations when in power, that's why it was concerning to read? are you saying the contents weren't insane or that the republican representatives don't follow the playbook because both are true.
>>108794486>Is this what we're coming to?in the uk it is far worse.>Why aren't the tech bros stopping it?the tech bros are sponsoring it, specifically zuck.
>>108795890>>108795937you really think if you get a blue guy in he'll change everything for you? deluluuuu~
>UK>say something mean about immigrants>get arrested>US>say something mean about Saint Kirk (pbuh)>get arrested
>>108795655europe is even more nanny state cucked lol
>>108796022donald trump is actively destroying the financial empire that props up our standard of living, i think the blooo people would not do that. straight was open until his retardation triggered, welcome to the end of the petrodollar and the end of global american hegemony.
>>108796226whatever psycho plan the yids are enacting would have happened just the same with a blue guyIm sorry anon, I really am
>>108795399Oh no!>Uses PC>Uses VPNANYWAY...
So which country is the least cucked privacy wise?
I had this message earlier. I tried to go halfway through the verification process and then stop it because I thought that might remove the notification. By default, the chosen method of identification is a CREDIT CARD. Not something with your picture on it, because they don't care about your identity. They literally and openly just want to take your money.
>>108794486Everyone is libertarian until they find they can bend the State's giving hand in their direction.Imagine believing *any* politician or CEO deeply engrained with TPTB.>>108796278Antarctica
online whinging is a correct and necessary reaction about laws like this and companies' compliance with it, you're definitely going to need to do the big brother spiel and everything, but this is only a first step on the slippery slope and I don't see how it can possibly backfireapple is definitely not going to store your ID and will delete it as soon as it's able to verify and flag your accountI was unable to find the actual list of domains that are getting blocked, but apparently it's discord, reddit and porn lmao https://github.com/Overengineers-Anonymous/uk-age-gated-domains/blob/main/domains.txtApple not allowing any custom browser engines makes it able to filter domain requests at all levels in all apps, so you can potentially "whistleblow" on normal journalist websites via TorBrowser app, but it still should block all "explicit" domains, so there's no "useful people" censorship angle without the evidence of overfiltering, it's just blocks porn as designedthere's literally no arguments against this other than the slippery slope
>>108795399What if the user changes their Apple IDs account region? Wouldn't that fix the "issue"?
>>108796226Donald trump is doing exactly what he is told like every president for the past 50 years has, get a fucking grip, retard. You're as bad as the miga retards
What's the problem? The only people who care about this are underages or people with something to hide.
>>108796226Financial empire? You mean the military? The US is the sole global superpower because of its military. The only thing that matters is violence and the capacity to use it. If Trump really wanted to boost the economy he'd nuke Tehran and genocide the middle east.
>>108796351The _appearance_ of military power is what matters for soft power. And trump has humiliated the US military's power on the world stage, they look incompetent.
>>108796638You can't maintain appearances without frequently showcasing it. Trump's only mistake is getting cold feet on the Iran thing after starting it. He should be doubling down and having more carrier groups come in for a full scale bombardment of Tehran and other population centers. It literally just werks, every single time. The Venezuela move was great because it was quick and memorable and showed the hyperfocused effectiveness of the military, but the more Iran drags things out the worse it is for visuals. The only way to salvage it is to take a steaming hot diarrhea dump all over Iran's "ancient civilization" and reduce it to rubble with brute force and malice.
>>108796265>gets the new unskippable Google recaptcha that requires scanning a QR code from an unmodified iOS/Android phone with Apple/Google account connected to it
>>108796351>>108796721>nuke TeheranAnd that's how the US military got exposed as weak and pathetic.Simply nuking their enemy is something that even North Korea can do.If the USA can't win by conventional means and not even protect a single little Strait, they look weak. The Iran war exposed the US military as seething weak monkeys.They aren't even capable of going boots on the ground. The amount of land they captured is: 0.
>>108794486There was never any privacy, especially on a (((smartphone)))
>>108794486That's good actually. Phonefags deserve what's happening to them. PCchads will forever be free
>>108794486the weird part is that steam only requires a credit card to verify you are 18 even in the uk. if steam can do it with just a credit card then non of these services need to ask for you id. they just want to
>>108794486You've got mail.OG AOL insider here
>>108794558it was America Online in t5he USOutside the US AOL did not stand for anything. It was just a brand and a different entity.
>>108795587You are genuinely retarded if you think Project 2025 has any influence. It's basically a bunch of literal whos. It's all WEF + big corpo money talking. Otherwise leftists wouldn't put the same laws into effect.
>>108795890>Keir Starmer>Labour>right-wing
>>108797892PCchads will be blocked
>>108797892>*it* is evolvingfucking kill me
>>108794486I don't have this problem.
>>108799933Until they make it criminal to possess a phone without ID verification. They're already going after VPNs. I'm confident that my phone will be deemed illegal by this time next year.
>>108799980Explain what you think the words "have" and "this" mean.
>>108799933*fails strong Play Integrity checks*
>>108800695>>108800010
>>108797651look just because you call it unskippable doesnt make it unskippable
>>108801016how do you skip it
>>108794486>Do you guys remember when American Online was the entire Internet and if you did something bad in AOL chat, they would suspend your whole Internet service? no
>>108802064Sending google 1 million pictures of horsecocks
>>108795641America does the same thing
>>108795587The OPERATING SYSTEM LEVEL age censorship in America is coming from blue states like California and Colorado, retard. If you think one side isn't going to fuck you on the internet then you're dumb as rocks.
>no satania.gifYou're slacking, /g/
>Why aren't the tech bros stopping it? I thought they were Libertarians.Yeah, Curtis "We need a dictatorship lol" Yarvin definitely wants you to be freer.
>>108795623You cant have a nuke without the uk
>>108794486>Why aren't the tech bros stopping it?do tech bro billionaires control the government? they would like to, I'm sure, but right now no, an enormous class of midwit middle-managing New Dealers do
>>108794486Wrongthinker detected. -100 social credit.
>>108794486Apple already know who you fucking are though, you literally use an Apple device this is the one case where it makes no difference they have already collected and amassed so much data on you as an owner that frankly your drivers license will seem outdated and bland.
>>108795467>Content that promotes or romanticizes depression, hopelessness and despair.The majority of art is officially banned in Bongland.
>>108795399Can you flash a custom firmware or something? Honestly, the best thing is probably just to get some kind of OS that supports sim cards and then basically just use a handheld computer instead of a phone
>>108795587England isn't located in the United States of America, Anon. Those are all leftist politicians.
>>108795641> King Arthur, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who are now banned in Britain So, it's come to this.
>>108797651What about Startpage?
>>108795440>self-sovereign identity and decentralization will create a separate web. it won't be that popular.So what you're saying is we might live to experience a internet inhabited exclusively by westoids again
>>108794558It's Italian now.>In October 2025, Apollo reached a $1.5 billion deal to sell AOL to the Italian conglomerate Bending Spoons. The purchase was quietly completed in January 2026, Bending Spoons then laid off more than 100 AOL employees in February 2026.
>>108794486just seems like standard bong behavior to me
>>108794754thats basically every libertarian, except you misunderstand the relationship, the government is in their pocket>nuh uh, your one dem commieslmao says (((who)))?
>>108794486That literally never happened. AWL chat rooms were notorious for being filled with pedophiles and just blatantly sharing adult material.
>>108802500>Nobody reposted the stalest of memes.The world truly is ending. What a loss.
there are infinite other choices
>>108794486this was caused by the UK government and Apple is merely bending the kneeif you don’t like it, then you need to do a lot of politics in the UK above and beyond the normal politics that happens
>someso it don't matter
People should really, REALLY start looking to rebuild the net elsewhere without overreliance on current servicesshit's about to hit the fan really fast and things WILL get really bad overnight
>>108803420the captcha is used by 17 million websites. archive.is uses recaptcha. my energy provider uses recaptcha if I want to check my bills. 4chan used to use recaptcha. its over
>>108804857Yeah because freenet, gnunet, lokinet, i2p etc all worked so well
>>108803417The depressing content line basically makes 95%+ of all british creative output void
>>108794486that is an outcome of govt regulations, tech bros would love to introduce 4 year olds with moms credit card to gambling sites
>>108794486How do you confirm? Just put in your D.O.B?
>>108797905I feel like tech companies need more info on their users and somehow have successfully lobbied governments to start forcing citizens to identify themselves online. Well, that's how I think it went down anyway.
>>108802960>exactly. Apple litterally has my credit card on file. I dont understand why they keep wanting more/
