What is PMbug.com's position on the age verification legislation being enacted around the World and that is being voted on today (Kids Act) in Congress?

They want to make so just to access anything online, ID will be required.

If this BS law passes, will it be resisted in any way, shape, or form?

IMHO, if the internet is so dangerous for kids, they should be prohibited for using it instead of ruining it for adults.

They should make it a ten thousand dollar fine, ten years in jail and loss of your children if caught allowing ones children online.
....and then leave us adults the f' alone.
 
Our rulers don't like our opinions, so they would like to intimidate us...would you talk like that if we knew who you are...of course they already know that.
 
So, there may be a video of some guy deer hunting with a (gun), who says a (bad word).

You do not have access to this website unless you enter your full name, address, last four numbers of your social security, date of birth, and scan a copy of your drivers license bar code to prove that you are 18 years old.

We (government) don't want some kid watching something with a (gun) or (foul language) or (nudity).

Where is my privacy?

Is the website secure, or a great place to steal my information?

The nanny state needs to F Off. Don't put the responsibility on me to prove my age. Make mommy monitor what her kid watches on the net.
I don't care what someone else's kid watches on the internet. Why should the responsibility of age restriction be on my end with my private information?
 
It's the pretext for ushering in a digital ID system. It's part of the WEF pipe dream for population control.

They're gonna shut down any sort of criticism or non-agreement.

And...let's face it; the side they're on, is not the side of the brighter bulbs in the chandelier. So...the dumbo cracks and libburlz won't inherently be throwing ideas out; and frankly, any discussion consisting of, Right-On! and Dittos!...is not edifying.

So there will be no discussion.

Their propaganda spewers will spew to the AI data-hoovers; and eventually the low-level DNC propagandists will themselves be replaced by AI.

Algos talking to algos; algos sucking it up and recording and retweeting it.

The Dead Internet.

I know, already...when I'm required to produce a Gubbermint ID to go online, that will be when I cut the cord. I'll just return to my books...I have many I haven't read; many more recommendations. When I have to have that digital ID to use the liberry, then I'll stop using THAT.

I'm more tired of this than words can express.

How well does the dark web work if the operating system on your own computer forces you to ID?

Exactly.

Reason I was asking is about the site's official position on it.

Will you resist this to the degree you are able to?

Per my understanding, this stuff will supposedly apply to any site that allows direct user to user communications.

It'll be, show ID or be locked into a silent internet where you can't have any communications with anyone.

Edited to add: our only hope is that so many people refuse to comply, that their nefarious efforts fail.

This site runs on a commercial forum software (Xenforo). If some government requires this BS, I expect the developers will incorporate features to enable it. I won't do that by choice. I suppose it's possible that the developers make such features mandatory at some point and then we'll see what's possible.

It's my choice to keep running the version of this forum software that I currently own or update the software as they publish updates (which I have not checked for in a long time actually). The main issue with not updating periodically is that the forum software will eventually be limiting me to some version of the operating system software which will eventually no longer be supported with security fixes. It's not an issue for today or the near future for sure, but I've experienced something like this before with a site that ran vBulletin 3.8x long after end of life. I had to upgrade to Xenforo to be able to update the operating system softwares (Apache, PHP, MySQL).

It'll be in the network.

And systems that don't comply will have distribution, and interfacings, blocked.

Were you involved with Linux when Gurgle took over Ewww Tube? I was.

There was a backdoor method of saving video streams. Just go into TEMP and look for the large video file, copy and paste in another file not part of the system, and you had the file. It was SO easy...

Gurgle was having none of that. One day I was booting up my laptop - I was plugged into the Ethernet cable that was my online access - and WITHOUT any prompting, my computer started an "update" of my OS. It hadn't even booted up.

This, of course, is very different from other updates, which only happen with prompts, when the user hits CHECK FOR UPDATES.

Anyway, the update removed the access to that feature. The video stream became fragmented into several different files I couldn't find - not to this day.

Keep in mind, that was just one of three computers I had, all running Ubuntu Linux. Now, thus warned, I booted another, THEN plugged it in, and found that I could still steal video files from the Tube of Eww.

For a time. Newly uploaded videos were fragmented and encrypted, even though my backup computer hadn't updated. Videos already up, I could save. Other sources, I could save - for a time, Gurgle is really a standard, and soon other streaming services made pirating videos impossible as well.

But that's what I have to say about depending on your own box for protection from this.
 
The government is learning that the internet has broken their monopoly on propergandizing the youth of the nation...they are jealous.

The way I understand it to work, is that the OS will tell the website the age status of the user.

If so, all it'll mean is that the websites will lock you into the "G" rated version of anything and disallow any means of direct communication with other users if they do not receive the age data.

That's what I am seeing on some sites already. Ie: face scan and ID, or no means of communication permitted and areas of sites blocked off.
.....and we're not even talking pron here, or even anything remotely close to it.

Of course not. P0rn is the red-herring; the justification to do what they'd wanted to do from the start. CONTROL.

We see what they think of p0rn by looking at what they let little kids post on TikTok. No...this is just MK-Ultra progressing...the never-ending search to control minds, remove free will, zombify the (m)asses.

I don't think it will be in the operating systems. That's too easy to bypass - with a home-brew OS (there are hundreds of distros using the Linux kernel) or even an old Windoze 95 system.

Nope, it will be based on the network, that EVERYONE...WILL BE MADE TO COMPLY. It's HTTPS 2.0 time.

Well you can think that, but the laws being enacted are mandating age verification at the OS level.
......and work is already being done to comply with it.

The problem is, the ones who don't do the age verification, risk being locked into a G rated internet.

They already have that, but it is not good enough for them.

The ISP's already won't sell service to a minor.

Going that way, the internet is already "age verified".

They want to know that the actual person behind the keyboard on any given machine ( be it PC or phone) is in fact over 18, or they will only be given the children's internet.
.....but with no means of direct communication.

I have ripped a couple hundred videos from YouTube to use as base material for parodies. I used a freeware (PC - not phone app) called ClipGrab to rip the source videos. Works pretty good.

LibreTube is good app (alternative YouTube front end) that allows that on a phone.

It also allows the blocking of paid sponsor ad reads during the video.

That's already in the process of happening. Now, the Censorship-Cancellation Complex is in place to smite us proles who hold Inconvenient Opinions.

One dare not. Not only are crazies not punished, for their "SWATting" and doxxing; they're aggressively encouraged and egged on. All you need do is look at some of the "moderate" content on Eww Toob...where creators bleep out words like "damn" or "vaccine" or "mandates." WHILE approved Leftists can issue an unbroken stream of profanity.

We know why. I don't know why non-Leftist creators (Adam Taggert and Alex Christoforou come to mind) bother with Gurgle-Eww. They must pay much better than Rumble...but, that's just selling your soul to your tormenter...

I've already resigned myself. Soon, soon...I won't be online. If that means I can't bank...so be it. If I have to pay my attorney's clerks to manage my money, since my bank won't just allow me to go in and make deposits and write checks...that is what it is, too.

This is life in the American-Soviet era. I'm marginalized, Cancelled, for not participating in the Mark Of The Beast.
