This law affects everyone, especially people in the EU and is an attempt to implement ID verification on: Video-sharing platforms, #AI chatbots, AI companions, games, software app stores and operating systems. https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/117285674482286098
We need to: #STOPEUKIDSACT NOW!
I’m really tired of fighting with our governments to do any of the important helpful things they need to, and then also having to fight with them to not do shitty things that destroy good or worthwhile stuff
It gets fuckin old man
It really does
KIDS ACT= mass surveillance, fishing out political dissidents.
KIDS ACT = Kill Internet Dissent and Speech And Criminalize Thought. These bills should be seen as they are: Free Speech and Free Expression Destruction bills.
That’s why political dissident has to happen in the real world with people we know in real life, protests are great places to meet people like that, so are all sorts of activist things like volunteer work or community organizing
Make sure to bring your personal location tracker to the meet up
You would have to show up in the first place to be worried about that lol
If you’re cool enough they assign you a real fed anyway
The irony of linking to an article about forced identification that requires you to login and pay to read it without trackers or a giant banner that covers the article.

It is unclear which servers are covered. The draft adopts the definition of a social network from the Digital Markets Act. Its Recital 11 clarifies that it concerns “information society services,” which EU law defines as services generally provided for remuneration. Whether a private, non-commercial hobby server falls under this depends on the legal classification of the specific offering. The statement that every instance without exception is covered is therefore an overstatement.
