How will they verify you’re over 16 to use social media? By scanning everyone’s ID. Digital ID via the back door.

When this UK ban becomes law, it will require age verification for everyone over 16 to ensure under 16s can’t access social media. That means all social media users would need to prove their age by uploading an ID (passport/drivers licence) and biometric data - all under the guise of protecting children. Unless we stop this, we are being steered toward a forced choice: comply, or be pushed offline and silenced... again. And make no mistake, silence is the objective. If dissent cannot speak, it cannot spread. If it cannot spread, it cannot organise. That is not an accident; it is the design. Some will say, "Just leave the system. Join a community. Become self-sustaining." That sounds comforting, but it is temporary, and it is naïve. You really think opting out makes you invisible? That power structures politely stop at the edge of a commune? History shows the opposite. Withdrawal does not equal freedom when control keeps expanding. Believing otherwise is wishful thinking, not strategy. So ask yourselves; how do we organise, mobilise, and resist without communication at scale? Those who were active in 2020 already felt this. We’ve lived it. When accounts were suspended, pages wiped, reach throttled for weeks or months, momentum died. Networks fractured. Messages stalled... This isn’t hypothetical. Digital gatekeeping is already normalised. Company directors. Benefits claimants. OneLogin. Centralised access. Centralised compliance by stealth, coercion and exclusion. Now this under 16's ban means digital ID checks for anyone wanting to keep social media. The pattern is clear if you’re willing to look at it. The fight is not about 'living online.' But it’s about losing the ability to speak to one another at scale. Social media is not freedom... but it is a tool. And tools matter in asymmetrical fights - where the two sides do not have equal 'power', resources, or tools. You don’t win by discarding these tools out of principle while your opponent controls every other channel. In my view, the answer isn’t retreat. It’s leverage. Use social media deliberately, strategically and without worshipping it... but without surrendering it either. Because once that space is gone, getting it back won’t be an option. This is the moment where pretending it doesn’t matter becomes the biggest risk of all. We must resist this ban - it's the prelude to digital ID for all.

@New2crypto11 @Yam_Nivek The top 1% have over 90% of the money?? So OF COURSE they should pay their fair share!!!

@Yam_Nivek Top 1% pay more than the bottom 50% so that’s not quite right is it? Let’s lose the top 1% and then see what happens to the country.

Transgender awareness week!

Trans women are women Trans men are men Enbies don't gotta be androgynous Genderfluid people dont have to use Any/All pronouns You can't have LGB without the T Fuck Trump Trans rights

'i'd vote green but need to vote labour to keep out the right' means nothing anymore. Labour polling at 17% and dropping Greens polling at 16% and rising, fast. Starmer ruined Labour and turned it into Tory 2.0. Don't mindlessly follow him. Join the Greens & @ZackPolanski

Never thought I'd live to see so many Fascists in the UK. My father, grandfather, uncles must be spinning in their graves. They served to defeat Fascism and here it is, sliming out of the sewers again.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

More empathy has been shown for Charlie Kirk over the past 12 hours than for tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children in two years.

@michiganbuddy @Missmbl2812 You're right. It doesn't HAVE to, but plenty of studies and experts have proven that transgender people are much less likely to kill themselves if they go through the surgeries.

@Missmbl2812 Embrace diversity means accepting there are different ways to be a man or woman and it doesn't have to involve dangerous drugs or surgery....

No parent encourages their child to be trans. However, I supported her when she found the courage to be who she truly is. People aren’t “made” trans. They’re born with identities as real and valid as anyone else’s. There is so much phobia around difference, we should start embracing diversity. What are we afraid of?

If you don’t get your child vaccinated and they die, it’s 100% your fault, grow the fuck up. Vaccines work Earth is not flat Brexit was stupid Farage is a con man Trump is a lunatic Putin is a lunatic Netanyahu is a lunatic The rich are the reason you’re poorer. #Factsmatter
