How will the changes work, and will they keep kids safe?

Search engines will have a suite of options to choose from for checking the ages of their Australian users.

There are seven main methods listed in the new regulations:

• Photo ID checks
• Face scanning age estimation tools
• Credit card checks
• Digital ID
• Vouching by the parent of a young person
• Using Al to guess a user's age based on the data the company already has
• Relying on a third party that has already checked the user's a…
Age-checking tech for social media ban mistakes kids for 37-year-olds

Children as young as 15 were repeatedly misidentified as being in their 20s and 30s during government tests of age-checking tools, sowing new doubts about whether the teen social media ban is viable.
He also warned the new rules for search engines could be circumvented using virtual private networks (VPNs).

"If the ambition of the government is to prevent children from accessing pornography, they're forgetting straight away the skills of these young people," he said.

Beyond concerns about the accuracy of age-assurance technology and the VPN workaround, the new search engine rules will still allow users to access adult content simply by not logging in.

An interview with X VP of Product Keith Coleman about plans to let developers program AI agents to propose Community Notes, the old system, and more (Will Oremus/Washington Post)

Anubis verifies that any visitor to a site is a human using a browser as opposed to a bot.
🍿One of the ways it does this is by making the browser do a type of cryptographic math with JavaScript or other subtle checks that browsers do by default but bots have to be explicitly programmed to do.
This check is invisible to the user, and most browsers since 2022 are able to complete this test.
In theory, bot scrapers could pretend to be users with browsers as well, but the ad…

Very likely a lot of bribing was involved, the extreme level of corruption makes Russia weak.

You should _not_ be doing any checks beyond that. (Unless the domain name is a known spammy domain/TLD, of course, but that doesn't appear to be the case here)

A democracy is – how Pratchett puts it in Small Gods – a system where everyone distrusts the government, so everyone is somehow (un-)happy about it. And this is how it is meant to be and where checks and balances comes in.
And now there is a Trump administration where a alarming number of people just trust everything done by them regardless of what it is.¹ If we needed another sign² of Trumpism being far from being democratic: here it is.
I really hope people in Germany continue …

The only downside is that I can't drive the pickup truck legally in the month of January (which I already don't) and the vehicle needs to be older than 20 years (it's older). 🤷‍♂️

So far the Social Security agency’s core functions — like sending monthly checks to 74 million Americans — have remained largely intact.
But under pressure from Musk’s team, nearly half of the Social Security Administration’s 140 senior executives, and thousands of employees overall, have taken buyouts or retired.
As many as 12 percent of staff members, out of a bureaucracy that numbered around 57,000 people, are expected to depart their jobs as part of DOGE’s cost-cutting plan.
