while i am happy people are pushing back against tumblr's new age verification stuff, i think this should be used as an opportunity to look into the surveillance bills that are passing worldwide. a lot of times when a website pulls this crap it doesn't extend very far for most people. (examples: roblox, discord, minecraft)
with that being said!! look into kosa, the appstore accountability act, and the kids act in america — bills that are actively moving through the legal system to require id / facial scanning for anyone to simply use social media or download an app!
look into the laws passing in the uk and brazil!
look into the bills passing in mexico and germany!
pay attention to vpn bans and research controversial legislation passing in your country or state!
fight back and fight back hard.
call, email, and fax reps and legislators.
All of the bad internet bills. One website.
