The signal protocol is end-to-end encrypted, not even signal themselves knows what is being sent to what.

Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the internet and created infinite spam.

The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks.

Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying "we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!".

The social media networks know this doesn't really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally).

  1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons

  2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they're not advertising to children because it's been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults

  3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do.

It's a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections.

It fucks over everyone else.

Chat, I'm not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.

This doesn't mean Japan is a good place to live in btw.

 

Japan protects children online very differently to the UK. (Shout out to red rose for the heads up - it was interesting.) While the UK Online Safety Act is driving biometric age verification and platform-based ID checks, Japan has taken another route: mobile carrier filtering enabled by default for under-18s, combined with parental control and digital literacy.

There is no nationwide social media ban in Japan. Instead, age controls typically sit at the telecom/SIM registration layer rather than at individual platforms.

In this video I explain: • Japan’s 2008 Youth Internet Environment framework
• How mobile carriers determine age at SIM registration
• Why filtering is enabled by default for minors
• The parental opt-out (waiver) mechanism
• The privacy trade-offs compared to UK-style age verification
This isn’t “no regulation” — it’s a different regulatory architecture.

If you’re following UK Online Safety Act developments, this comparison shows that “protecting children online” does not automatically require biometric ID checks across platforms — but every model comes with trade-offs.

Let me know in the comments: would you prefer telecom-level filtering, or platform-based age verificatio

Long Live Tutamail and using a duckduckgo.com address as a backup!

There is another project called RetroTorrents, it seems to take a different approach, and is more deserted due to the lack of interest with the playable formats .chd .rvz and .wux, .zip is good but sucks with disc based games.

 

Contrary to future folklore, Myrient (a video game archive service or ROM site) will not shutdown because of any copyright laws, rather a long list of other reasons, it was too good and has collapsed under its own weight from external factors.

After reading more about the book "The Five Ages of the Universe", I noticed the logo's galactic theme with a bright star at the top and found more topics related to The Primordial, Stelliferous and Degenerate Era.

It's design shows how the M (μ) logo had its own universe and the white cresend moon C shaped light from a star that lights the darkness within that universe.

To be honest, the rest is too complicated for me to describe them in a forum post, so I will leave for others to decide.

What may happen is that the websites get blocked by the ISP at request.

Lemmy does manage to circumvent this by the fact every instance has its own domain and cached content.

Most likely, 4chan.org will be blocked and a British Firewall will be added.

I find https://preservetube.com/ to be useful when nothing else works.

Great use of spoiler

 

I see many in fmhy.net but I want to know if yours is in that website.

Plus, I am not sure what else I want to learn beside using qbittorrent and Knaben
