Canada wants to join the age verification bandwagon and censor the internet with Bill C-34

Reply in thread

I heard Facebook was funding this in the US. Not sure if they're responsible for it elsewhere too. It's basically Five Eyes countries doing this, so you can bet it's to do with their surveillance efforts. How do we stop it? First step is not to comply. Do not complete any age verification. If you are absolutely forced to, at least lodge complaints about it. If you are still required to, try to avoid giving any data, e.g. use a pre-recorded video of someone else or a videogame character to pass the age check. Second step is to use and support alternative platforms that avoid such measures.

It is reality. And unfortunately any "ethical" funds usually just focus on avoiding oil companies or military companies but are just fine with AI companies, surveillance companies, eugenics companies and so on. Nobody agrees on what is ethical I'm afraid. One man's unethical practice is another man's unethical-to-avoid practice.

Feeling a black sheep at work

That's one reason. Another reason is that your code will be better and you will understand it. Yet another reason is you'll have more privacy. And probably the most important reason is that you're resisting AI development that threatens human existence.
