Those that have entered into the shadow contract. A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn't THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).

Consensus requires untrusted sovereigns agreeing to collective action. It is a very difficult mechanism to operate. One way is by having a crime so heinous, the mass population block would eviscerate you if it came to light.

Pedophilia is king among these shadow cornerstones. It illustrates a total lack of empathy, no protective nature towards the innocent, no concern for the perceptions of society, high intellect / manipulation abilities, and a willingness to do anything. You can say it is the "panther" among the shadows.

So most leadership is among that tribe, which is why they are the way they are. It is only logical.

There are other tribes as well. Use your imagination and the answers will follow.

Funny thing, Reddit did that "circle" event many years ago. How big did anyone's circle get? That is an example of what I am explaining. It is nearly game theoretically impossible to have large scale consensus without some mechanism to make sure people are on the same page.

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

Or just block wikipedia and use one of the many encyclopedia websites designed for kids instead (1), (2). This has the benefit of having your goals met, without making the world a worse place for everyone else.

They can see and manage the router remotely no reason why they couldn't do it. Mine let's me turn off the router lights, change the WiFi password or turn of the WiFi all together.

What if I'm actually a set of traffic lights and the AI can't work out what I am from my selfie?

POV: You're the intern tasked with reviewing the selfies.

Did you not read my proposal? How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?

Please explain in detail, so I know you aren't just a troll who needs to oppose everything just because?

Lmao when the "anonymous" online forum requires de-anonymizing, I want to hope everyone leaves

thats not what pov means, upload a selfie as punishment

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

“Reddit has stressed that this system is only to verify users' age, and it has no interest in your identity. Lee further stated that Persona won't know what subreddits you visit, and has promised it won't keep users' uploaded images more than seven days.”

Press X to doubt.

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.

POV: You're the intern tasked with reviewing the selfies.

And it would know the difference how?

“Oops, our password was ‘Reddit’ and we’ve had a leak” in coming.

Or it can just defederate from UK based instances.

.zip has already been trying to figure out how to handle this law, its also UK based.

Yeah, fuck all that.

Guess we're transitioning into a VPN only future.

We have the opportunity to head into a utopic or dystopic future and we're absolutely choosing the dystopic one.

does the federated nature of lemmy/piefed/kbin/etc prevent governments from taking action against them?

I've once attempted to open a bank account where they wanted video proof, and expected me to say a randomly assigned phrase, to solve the issue you mention.

I didn't do it. Fucking KYC is BS.
