Hackers Expose The Massive Surveillance Stack Hiding Inside Your “Age Verification” Check

We’ve been saying this for years now, and we’re going to keep saying it until the message finally sinks in: mandatory age verification creates massive, centralized honeypots of sensitive biometric data that will inevitably be breached. Every single time. And every single time it happens, the politicians who mandated these systems and the companies that […]

Discord Drops ID Check Partner, Appears to Still Be Moving Forward With Age Verification Rollout

Despite speculation online, Discord has not announced any pause or cancellation of global age verification beginning early in March 2026. If the changes go into effect as planned, all users will receive teen-by-default settings, and those seeking access to age-restricted spaces may be prompted to verify their age. The confusion likely stems from reports that the messaging service has ended its…

Open Letter To Tech Companies: Protect Your Users From Lawless DHS Subpoenas

We are calling on technology companies like Meta and Google to stand up for their users by resisting the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) lawless administrative subpoenas for user data.

ZA/UM's Zero Parades is Schrodinger's Disco Elysium follow-up, and it keeps yelling at me about communism

"Since the last round of EMTERR ‘stabilisation’, they’ve been trying to force us lifers out," the phantom line engineer tells Zero Parades protagonist Hershel Wilk. "We can’t be fired, not easily, but they can take away the work that made us stay in the first place,” he continues. “I have two options.

The ‘Most Massive Attack On Free Speech’ Is Happening Right Now, And The Twitter Files Crew Is Mighty Quiet

For the last five years, we had to endure an endless, breathless parade of hyperbole regarding the so-called “censorship industrial complex.” We were told, repeatedly and at high volume, that the Biden administration flagging content for review by social media companies constituted a tyrannical overthrow of the First Amendment.

A pressing need

It’s a very cool world we’re living in right now, I think you’ll agree. At this point, I’m consuming so much well-sourced, well-reported news about Epstein, Bannon, Mandelson, Peter Thiel, AI, and the general enshittification of our democracies and the planet at large that I actually found myself staring at my phone, wondering, ‘Is this what people feel like when they fall down a QAnon or…

Discord will require photo IDs globally starting next month

Won't someone police the messaging apps?! _Think of the children!_

Look: I like Discord a lot. It's probably my second most-used app after my web browser. It's an intuitive, easy-to-use messaging app for both direct and group messaging that started as a humble "by gamers, for gamers" project but has since eclipsed every competitor — save, perhaps, for Slack, the LinkedIn professional's choice.…

New Discord users must verify age for adult content access

Discord announced on Monday a global rollout of age verification starting early March. The company will place all users into a teen-appropriate experience by default unless they verify adulthood, requiring proof for settings changes and access to age-restricted content, channels, servers, and app commands.

We're not even two months into 2026, and yet another large social media network has done the seemingly unthinkable and instituted a policy that triggers a mass exodus.
