    I am thinking with government restrictions in Australia and the United Kingdom, we should be using BBSing as an alternative medium. Its akin to HAM radio now.

    You should not need to submit your ID just to use a bloody search engine.

    Agreed up to a point.

    The European Union is talking about deploying an European managed competitor to X, with the express purpose of having a policed social media that belongs to the European governments. They plan to enforce mandatory ID for it.

    I expect it to flop but in reality I am sur ethey do too. It is all a scam to waste tax money.

    Have you heard of that Pathways game the UK government created? It is a propaganda piece designed to teach children that watching righht-wing videos in social media or handing out political advertisements will get you arrested. In fact, they outright imply that private messaging platforms are terroristic.

    "Remember kids, it is illegal to download certain types of videos"

    "Finally he put himself in such position that he got arrested for the hurtful things he said"

    Fun fact, there is a character in that game whose role is that of an evil right-wing antagonist trying to turn you into a radical. Can you imagine what happens when you put a patriotic hot goth girl in front of 14 year olds? Yeah, they turned her into a right-wing icon, much like Torrente was turned into a right-wing icon in Spain despite the fact he was created to ridicule the right-wing.

    UK, Australia and certain EU countries have been acting bonkers for some years already, planning to mandate hard ID for using certain online services.

    You know, you want to join social media, you need full ID.

    You have to show your ID before using a search engine in Australia. You

    Every time? Or is it something you register with the search engine once and then you have to log in to use the search engine?

    "Measures to be deployed by online services could include looking at your account history, or using facial age assurance and bank card checks. Identity checks using IDs such as drivers licences to keep children under 16 off
    social media will also apply to logged-in accounts for search engines from December, under an industry code that came into force at the end of June.

    The code will require search engines to have age assurance measures for all accounts, and where an account holder is determined to be aged under 18, the search engine would be required to switch on safe search features to filter out content such as pornography from search results.

    "


    and google and apple are developing device level checks.

    i think this is just an excuse to take away everyones privacy entirely.

    no but i believe it. i do see videos of police knocking on their doors and asking the people 'did you say this on facebook'. and shit isnt even that bad.

    that was quite funny actually. they made her hair purple because they assumed that people leaning right might associate that with something negative the same way they do when they see left wing people with brightly colored hair.

    Huh?

    I find it interesting that foreigners tell stories of what is needed to be done in Australia and how life here is bad because of it.

    Normally I skip past this crap, but I thought I'd dig a bit deeper to see where people are getting their information from...

    I think a lot of this is a case of "Let's eat Grandma!" vs "Let's eat, Grandma!" and intuition not questioning that the first comment seems odd.

    Huh?

    I find it interesting that foreigners tell stories of what is needed to be done in Australia and how life here is bad because of it.


    BBS are such scumbags, aren't they?

    "The government says firms must take "reasonable steps" to keep kids off their platforms, and should use multiple age assurance technologies.

    These could include government IDs, face or voice recognition, or so-called "age inference", which analyses online behaviour and interactions to estimate a person's age.

    Meta said it blocked approximately 550,000 accounts during the first days of the ban."

    Just to be clear, that quote is from a BBC article talking about Australian age registration enforcement

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyp9d3ddqyo

    So now you know where people is getting their info from. "Reputable news outlets".

    I cant comment on the UK. In Australia I still dont know where I need
    to show my "hard ID" as stated in a previous message...

    if they pull it off you will show it into your device most likely.

    it's probably too difficult to pull off.

    deon, it's because of whats on the news, same as why you guys think the usa sucks. plus, you are used to giving up your freedom for the greater good, right?

    meta has been banning tons of accounts with ai for quite a while.
    then they ask the people to upload a video of them turning their head so they can catalog their face. i'd rather stay off that shit.

    Howdy,

    "The government says firms must take "reasonable steps" to keep kids off their platforms, and should use multiple age assurance technologies.

    This conversation didnt start about "kids".

    And I agree, kids should be outside kicking dirt, not glued to a screen.

    Hey Deon!

    On Sun, Jan 25 2026 06:25:21 -0600, you wrote:

    Yeah, this seemed to veer in a completely different direction.

    And I agree, kids should be outside kicking dirt, not glued to a screen.

    Or, as mentioned in a previous message, surfing pr0n sites - which still falls under the "glued to a screen" category, I suppose, and also completely changed the meaning of the quoted text. <sigh> I shouldn't have replied to this. :D

    Regards,
    Nick

    But if you rape, a year is too lenient.

    What if you rape only to save?

    with dovenet (and us) it's hard to see what the conversation started with, also it changes as the wind blows.

    i think it started with that guy who thinks deuce and echicken were rude to him when he asked for help.

    You have to show your ID before using a search engine in Australia. You

    Sure do you, just like you have to scan your rectal print to be able to walk outside in the U.S.

    That's nothing - according to Trump, you need to show ID in the US to
    buy gas and groceries.

    Really? Where'd you get that from?

    I'm sure you can provide some evidence/reference that he's actually
    said that?

    Yes.

    Yep, OK. Not sure why he would say that, unless he meant to buy alcohol

    true.

    Yes, If you buy alchhol or tobacco you have to show id.
    So Trump is correct.
