The scariest thing about new #AgeVerification laws being introduced in Europe (France, I was expecting more from you) is to see the positive reactions of my family members, who have fallen hook, line and sinker for the arguments discussed in the media. "It's to protect the children!" No it isn't.

I'm sending this superb article by the @eff to all of them:

Now is the time to #resist and speak up and educate those around us ✊ #privacy

Age Verification and Age Gating: Resource Hub

Good morning Fedi friends,

I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

My way of coping?

🔗​: blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbie…

Basically a visual guide showing how to install #GoToSocial via #YunoHost and set it up with some basic security.

⏱️​ From start to finish, it should take about 25-30 minutes.

It's my act of resistance against tech bros... I love the idea of teaching people how to self-host their own social media instance, connected to the fediverse ✌️​❤️​ ​

Thank you @yunohost and @gotosocial for empowering us all!

Counterintuitively, this is actually a point of hope - because this has been the case literally since the dark ages & yet still, we have managed to make continued progress on behalf of humanity against the explict, well-funded interests of those forces.

They can slow us down, but they simply cannot stop us. This is a fact of history.

Not gonna lie, reading this passage from @pluralistic’s book #TheInternetCon on a jailbroken #Kindle (running #KOreader!) felt like a deliciously affirming act of resistance 💁🏻‍♀️
