📵 🇺🇸 👤 US to implement Digital ID if "KIDS Act" passes in the House today
Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications. While supporters continue to claim this bill protects minors online, its requirements come at the expense of privacy, free expression, and the ability of people of all ages to use the internet without revealing sensitive data.
Supporters of KOSA have said the bill doesn’t require age verification. And technically, the KOSA section of the bill does say that KOSA shouldn’t be read to require age verification.
Throughout the KOSA section of the legislation, special protections, controls, messaging settings, and parental tools are required whenever a website or app “knows or should have known” a user is a child (defined in the bill as anyone under 13) or a teen (defined as anyone between 13 and 16 years old).
The problem is a website operator doesn’t need actual knowledge that a user is a minor to get in legal trouble. It applies when a platform “knows or should have known” a user’s age—a low, negligence-style standard of knowledge. If an online service gets it wrong, it’s going to be up to courts and regulators to decide, after the fact, if an online service “should” have known a user was 16.
To try to avoid liability, services will have to determine which users are teenagers and which are not. Most won’t be able to simply trust their users. They’ll have to collect more information about age, before any lawsuit or government action arises. Some companies may respond by requesting driver's licenses or passports. Others will rely on age-estimation systems that attempt to guess users' ages by looking at existing activity or doing facial scans. Existing estimation systems make mistakes when estimating children’s ages correctly, which is a big problem when that is the population KOSA is trying to protect.
The bill specifically requires policies addressing the "sale or use" of narcotic drugs, tobacco products, cannabis products, gambling, and alcohol. It also restricts discussions around financial fraud.
Sounds straightforward enough. Then you remember how people actually talk—online and off. Can teens discuss addiction and recovery? Can a 15-year-old post that she’s worried she has a friend who is drinking too much? Can they seek advice about a parent’s gambling problem, or get help if they or a family member have been scammed? Can they participate in harm-reduction communities or discuss substance abuse treatment? All of these young people would be engaging in lawful speech when discussing topics covered by KOSA’s enumerated harms.
The bill does not directly ban those conversations. But it places platforms under huge pressure to create and enforce moderation policies around broad categories of lawful speech. Faced with legal risk, many services will inevitably choose to remove that speech or restrict those discussions to spaces where they know only adults can participate. We’ve seen this movie before. When legal risk goes up, platforms will take down more speech.
The KIDS Act Regulates Private Messages, Too
The KIDS Act never answers an obvious question: how exactly is a platform supposed to address those activities if they’re inside encrypted communications that it can’t read? That will create pressure for providers to weaken private communications or limit features on encrypted private services.
Like many other parts of the KIDS Act, these private messaging provisions also depend on websites and apps knowing who is a minor and who is not. The result is more age checks, more restrictions, and less privacy online.

🇺🇸 A group of students in Lubbock #TX have started punching, kicking, and beating the teachers.. in the middle of the school day. Students can be seen dragging white teachers by the hair. How is anyone supposed to learn in this environment? It's worth investigating.

📝 🇺🇸 🗳 Trump and the GOP built a potent political base and then dynamited it so thoroughly; an astonishing rise and fall.
The medium to long term issue is just now, the Democrats earnestly don't want to deliver much of anything to their voters either. They don't even earnestly oppose the war in Iran and obviously they are furiously stroking it to the heckin' Ukrainians more overtly that Trumps gimp suited twats did.
Can the country survive 2 years of a congress unlikely to do much except investigate and hold hearings? The economy will almost certainly crumble from energy crisis, and the wars are respectively unwinnable and not very popular. Democrats are as dedicated to Zionism as the GOP, just more lowkey about it.
The real danger for America is either a Dem slimmer majority; that tries to "AHH Schucks we couldn't get anything done.... vote for us again, just not toooooo much okay?" or a Dem giga-majority that has to just outright avoid doing anything and says "Fuck it!".

BREAKING: Iranian media publishes instructional guidelines for Iranian citizens in preparation for the possibility of a nuclear attack:
• Avoid looking directly at the intense light resulting from the explosion.
• If outside buildings and unable to enter immediately, take shelter behind a barrier and lie on the ground while covering the head and face.
• After the blast wave passes, enter the nearest building, avoid staying to watch or take photos, and do not take shelter inside vehicles.
• Head to the basement or interior parts of the building, away from windows and exterior walls.
• Close doors and windows and turn off air conditioning and ventilation devices that draw air from outside.
• Remove outer clothing exposed to contamination without shaking it off, and place it in a tightly sealed bag away from people, without going outside to dispose of it.
• Shower with lukewarm water and soap, and use regular shampoo without conditioner.
• If showering is not...
TLDR: Basically it was a social engineering phishing attack in two parts. One of the engineers downloaded a bogus AI coding tool off of a fake link on Google, and the second engineer was tricked by a fake interviewer for a new job to download a coding “assignment” containing a virus. With those two engineers compromised they could gain access to Binance.
The takeaway here? You are only as strong as your weakest link. Social engineering remains the best way to hack systems. Also DO NOT DOWNLOAD THINGS. Check to see if the Google links are REAL, do not click links or download things for “job interviews.”
Separately phishing similar to this happens all the time on X. People will DM you posing as journalist or whatever and ask you to set an interview time by connecting your X account to some calendar. Don’t do that. In the words of Admiral Ackbar, it’s a trap.
Also separately separately nobody from Google is trying to call you. We promise you. Don’t be a mark.
Also she’s...
