Age verification is a Trojan horse for total control over the internet, your devices, and your entire digital life. Not a single child will be protected by this. If people don't wake up and protest, your country is going to be next.

🚨 Apple's new iOS update has just put an ID check on all Britons' phones. It is beyond outrageous! Unless you give an ID/credit card, you now have a child's device with restricted access to information. @Apple MUST U-turn on this! My comments on BBC: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

He is right, you know…

🚨NEWS: UK iPhone users must now prove their age or lose full internet access "It is absolutely outrageous that, overnight, Apple has put a chokehold on Britons' freedom to search the internet, access information and use apps unless they provide sensitive ID documents. This means 35 million Brits who have paid hundreds or even thousands of pounds for Apple tech suddenly now have a child's device unless they comply with invasive demands for personal information that go far beyond what UK law requires. Apple has crossed the Rubicon with this software update which is more like ransomware, holding customers hostage to ID demands that are invasive, exclusionary and unnecessary. Children's online safety is vital but requires better parental controls and thoughtful tech responsibility - not sweeping, draconian, shock demands by foreign companies for all of our IDs and credit cards." - Silkie Carlo [@silkiecarlo]

@Everton Best I’ve seen them play in years. Beto, Garner & Iliman were immense! 💙

What a result. What a performance. What an atmosphere. WHAT a day at Hill Dickinson Stadium. 💙

@CorySwan @howardlutnick Decline of the Roman Empire all over again. Pigs Noses 🐽 Trough Full throttle corruption by politicians/ruling class Then the fall

Season 1, Episode 6: THE ONE WHERE HOWARD LUTNICK GETS IN BED WITH TETHER AND SCORES A MASSIVE PAYDAY On May 17, 2024, Giancarlo Devasini, reportedly owner of the majority of Tether’s voting stock, told an associate that he had given @HowardLutnick a large number of @tether shares “bloody cheap”. Devasini’s admission followed Lutnick’s January 2024 Bloomberg appearance in Davos when, unprompted by the interviewer, Lutnick launched into a long monologue in which he passionately vouched for Tether. In his confirmation hearing on Jan. 29, 2025, Lutnick, now the United States Commerce Secretary, admitted that Devasini sold his firm @CantorFitzgerald a 5% economic interest in Tether in early 2024 for $600 million, implying a $12 billion valuation. Fast forward to today, as Tether is currently marketing a private fundraising round of $20 billion on a $500 billion pre-money valuation, which would balloon the Lutnick/Cantor stake by ~42x, to around $25 billion. The fundraising is reportedly being led directly by “the Chairman’s office” at Cantor, according to a source. While Cantor is not publicly listed, LLMs estimate the bank’s enterprise value in the $8-10 billion range, a figure now dwarfed by the imputed value of its Tether stake. On June 8, 2024, Devasini said of Lutnick: “Howard is a caricature of himself. He’s a shark. He’ll take a piece of flesh if he has a chance. So the game is always to align his interest.” The big question, then, which perhaps @wsj @bloomberg @ft @nytimes may be interested to dig into: Who does Howard Lutnick, the current Commerce Secretary of the United States, really work for? And for @RealDonaldTrump: When push comes to shove, is @HowardLutnick going to have your back, or will he do the bidding of the guys who are making him rich beyond anything you could ever do for him? Note: The Senate Committee responsible for oversight is Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, led by Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott and Elizabeth Warren @ewarren. The House Committee is Financial Services, led by French Hill @RepFrenchHill and Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters.

@QuotesSovereign I hope so, it’s become corrupt AF.

The twentieth century nation state, with all its pretensions, will starve to death as its tax revenues decline.

Dubai imported over $100B of gold and became a global bullion hub. Now traders are selling gold at a discount because flights, shipping, and insurance disruptions make it hard to move. That’s the difference between physical money and digital money.

@drinkonsaturday So cool 👌😎

One deep breath. A final adjustment. The edge right at the tips of your toes. Are you going? Sailing along at sonic speeds like a freely flying squirrel. Does "free as a bird" quite nail the exhilaration of soaring without any boundaries or constraints, other than your skill? Even then, how do you pick your landing spot?

Socialism is the theory that if you abolish profit, bread will somehow bake itself out of moral superiority.

@jameslavish Yup.

Let’s face it. Congress is a giant crime scene, roped off to the rest of the world.

We’re not well. Our government is insane.

👏Resistance against digital ID for the internet is GROWING 371 privacy & security experts join a global call to stop governments from ID checks on all of us to use the internet. They've also warned against a VPN ban. A free internet is vital to democracy. Read⤵️ politico.eu/article/age-ch…
