Just a little reminder. Just because something isn't for you doesn't mean it doesn't change the world for someone else.

Ross of @accursedfarms explains how the EU Kids Act is cover for making private servers without age verification illegal, and doing the exact opposite of protecting kids in order to establish a surveillance state. Here's how to fight back:
-Sign and spread the #StopKillingInternet Initiative if you're an EU citizen of voting age (friends and family count too!): eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/
- Leave a public comment about the EU Kids Act
Be polite and civil. This isn't Twitter or social media, but a direct public comment to the Commission. They're under no obligation to take people seriously if people misbehave or get out of hand. Write like you'll have to give your comment in person to your town hall or local government: ec.europa.eu/info/law/better…
- Read up on the EU Kids Act: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-cont…
- The leaked proposal of the Kids Act: drive.proton.me/urls/7FGQYQ0…
- Contact your Member of European Parliament about your opposition to the Kids Act, and why they should also be opposed to it: europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/h…
- Spread the word and this video far and wide! Let the public know what is happening!

Guillermo del Toro: “Be very angry about how the world is being fucked, how your craft is being pulled away from you, how people are trying to move you away from the arts and tell you they’re not important. Be angry that things are being controlled by socially barely functional people that have a lot of money. Be angry about something. Be enraged about something” (Video: anakinspadawan / TikTok)

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Age verification (digital ID) laws are spreading fast and most people have no idea what's already on the books near them.
We mapped every bill, state by state.
See what's passed, what's pending, and who wants to introduce ID checks for internet access.
We also have a global map so you can see the threats all around the world and map the co-ordinated effort to end privacy online...

I have been talking about this for a year. Lobbies and countries have been trying their best to censor videogames, creative content and the internet as a whole with the excuse of “protecting kids”.
People were just blindly ignoring the issue because it targeted NSFW content back then.
They are attacking the privacy and free will of adults with the excuse of protecting kids.
This has to stop.
All hands on deck! This is the biggest threat to Stop Killing Games yet!
The EU #KidsAct could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market and making private and community servers illegal!:

We are living in a time where kids have nowhere to hang out, younger generations are being forced to take care of the older generations, media is being either heavily censored or altered, and our identities are being exposed at all times...
When the fuck will this shit end
We just can't catch a break, can we?
The EU Kids Act is nightmare fuel, if you look beneath the honorable surface claim of "protecting kids online". The breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=mQRcK9nY…

If this proposal passes as written, it is the end of SuperTuxKart in the EU — and possibly the end of the project.
We need to be serious for a moment.
We cannot "block the EU market." We cannot prevent private servers. The code is GPL. Anyone can run one.
That is not a loophole — it is the entire point of open source.
We could not detect EU players on VPNs without tracking our players. We will not track our players. Not for Brussels, not for anyone.
A law written for tech giants is about to outlaw free and open source software made with love.
All hands on deck! This is the biggest threat to Stop Killing Games yet!
