I tweeted about digital exclusion and how older people (and people with brain injuries & disabilities) are locked out of healthcare services because of multiple complicated apps. This is one of the demands on my mum’s GP app. She has no idea how to film & upload her face.
Australia’s social media ban for minors isn’t working: 61% of kids still access accounts, while 4.7M were shut down. Meanwhile, 27% moved to riskier platforms. The ban isn't helping kids— it is harming them. Parents, not the government, are better suited to manage kids’ online use, says Cato's @dr_inserra. Learn more: ow.ly/6cM250YLfRN
The full text for HR 8250, the proposed Federal law which would require all Operating Systems to implement Age Verification, has just been made publicly available. It is short, poorly written, clearly not at all thought out, and almost entirely devoid of specifics. Some key points: - The bill does not specify how age verification would work at all. It states that the Federal Trade Commission would have 180 days to specify the exact mechanism and requirements for Age Verification within the Operating Systems. - The Federal Trade Commission would also specify data storage protection requirements as well as requirements for how the Operating System must provide access to collected user data. - This bill would apply to ALL Operating Systems. Everything from Windows to Linux to embedded systems. Yes, even to a smart refrigerator. The “Operating System” definition is incredibly broad. - The law will be considered in effect 1 year from the date it is enacted. - Violations of the law will be handled under the Federal Trade Commission Act. - It is given the “Short Title” of “Parents Decide Act”. congress.gov/bill/119th-con…
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a new European age verification app that will give users a sort of digital ID card to prove their ages online — without sharing their sensitive personal information with every site or app they want to access. cnn.it/4vtqBIR
I image searched this moth thing from the wishbone sticker sheet and the only thing that comes up is a death's-head hawkmoth?

I'm so excited for Olivia's album. I feel like it's going to be the story of her getting into this amazing relationship (her words) and discovering being in a relationship doesn't fix things for you and you have to work on yourself before you're ready. That's what I'm hoping for.
