The Age-Verification Trap — Verifying user’s ages undermines everyone’s data protection
Social media is going the way of alcohol, gambling, and other social sins: Societies are deciding it’s no longer kid stuff. Lawmakers point to compulsive use, exposure to harmful content, and mounting concerns about adolescent mental health. So, many propose to set a minimum age, usually 13 or 16.
🕵️

Is Age Verification a Trap?
Platforms are caught in a dilemma: enforce age restrictions or protect user privacy. How are they navigating this tricky terrain?

It may be unchartered, but we can see the terrain:
the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps -- but not new vaccines.
That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people,
all of them deranged and malicious,
control over $3 trillion.

Marines, this ain’t a park in Los Angeles you’re trying to invade this time.
Iran is over half a million square miles (1.6 million square kilometers) and over 92 million Iranians, with mountains and terrain so fierce even the Romans avoided invading it, but 2,500 USMC soldiers (with planning by kegsbreath and the geriatric bone spur) are gonna move the needle. Right.

Blast near pro-government demonstration in Iran after Israeli warning
A large explosion rocked an area of Iran’s capital where thousands were gathered for an annual state-organized rally to support the Palestinians and call for Israel’s demise. Israel had warned earlier Friday that it would operate in the area in central Tehran. There were no immediate reports of casualties. But the decision to proceed with the mass demonstrations, and Israel’s threat to target the area, underscored the fierce determination on both sides nearly two weeks into a war that has…

Defensive rewilding could turn wetlands and forests into border barriers #nature

Defensive rewilding could turn wetlands and forests into border barriers
Restoring forests, wetlands and peatlands could help defend national borders as well as tackle climate change, according to new research from the University of East London (UEL). The study introduces the concept of "defensive rewilding"—the intentional, pre- or mid-conflict restoration of ecosystems to shape terrain in ways that can slow, redirect or impede military advances, while delivering environmental benefits.

Hey friends of the #mountains - I almost didn't make it away from my couch today morning. But as you can see, I did!
I spent a couple of hours hiking into the snow. During the ascent I was happy that I left my snow shoes at home. Yet for half an hour or an hour, I really missed them when I sometimes sank in deeper than my knees.
But it was all well manageable and I regained so …

A stunning winter alpine landscape unfolds under a brilliant blue sky, where the sun shines brightly, casting a radiant glow over the snow-covered slopes. The pristine white snow blankets the undulating terrain, creating a breathtaking contrast with the deep blue of the sky. The snow's surface is smooth and untouched, save for a few tracks left by adventurous hikers or skiers. Scattered across the slope are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, adding texture and depth t…
A moment of joy and adventure is captured in this vibrant winter scene. A hiker stands atop a snow-covered mountain slope, their face lit up with a warm smile as they take a selfie. Dressed in outdoor gear, including a bright green beanie, blue jacket, and a backpack equipped with a hydration pack, the hiker exudes a sense of preparedness and enthusiasm for the journey. The backdrop is a stunning alpine landscape, where patches of snow cling to the rugged terrain. A cluster of evergreen trees,…

A tranquil winter landscape unfolds under a soft, pale blue sky, where a gentle blanket of snow transforms the scene into a serene wonderland. The undulating terrain is crisscrossed by a winding, snow-dusted road, guiding the eye through the quiet beauty of the season. On either side, skeletal trees stand tall, their bare branches dusted with frost, while dense clusters of evergreens add touches of deep green to the otherwise monochrome palette.

My today's #footpathFriday is one from the archives. I was really bad prepared that day, but luckily everything turned out well -- and I got this fantastic, dramatic shot!
more about that day:

A dramatic and breathtaking mountain landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the raw beauty and grandeur of nature. The scene is dominated by rolling green hills and rugged mountain peaks, their slopes covered in lush, vibrant grass and patches of rocky terrain. The hills create a natural amphitheater, leading the eye toward the towering mountain in the center. The mountain itself rises majestically, its steep and rocky face adding a sense of scale and drama to the scene. The peak is partia…

Communities have changed how resistance is conducted
— away from the myth of the solitary activist hero
and toward
shared capacity.
As Grace Lee Boggs taught us,
“Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.”
Political exhaustion took on new meaning.
It was no longer treated as a personal struggle, but as shared terrain
— produced by oppressive systems and requiring collective response.
The question shifted from…
