This was due to happen in the U.K., and there were significant challenges over the law’s lack of specific privacy safeguards. The implementation of the #ageverification law was cancelled.

The lack of a self-hosted/first party solution still worries me.

QT emvdn: If we could verify someone's age on the internet, would that stop children being able to access porn? German authorities are giving it a shot. @gabriels_geiger interviewed me for this great article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvx8v4/german-authorities-want-to-implement-dns-blocks-against-major-porn-sites

"your music is great, you could make so much money! put it up to stream!"

Regarding #youtubedl situation, I strongly recommend watching Good Copy Bad Copy:

You can watch it on #PeerTube thanks to @documentaries here:

Or just torrent it, as the GCBC creators suggest themselves.

One of the best moments is when an MPAA chief talks about how people won't share things for free, and you watch it in a film explicitly made to be shared on a FLOSS operating system using VLC.

We need #copyreform.

(2/2)…Also FutureWork of the AustraliaInstitute found that the bureaucracy surrounding #UnemploymentSupport including #enforcement and other auxillary services costs around 100 billion per annum, and that a #UBI would cost around the same amount.

Also removes a perverseIncentive to buy property as a nestEgg for the kids and the need to pump a country with more people to boost house prices etc.

(Also see our Progressive #LandTax (on #RentalValue))

@profoundlynerdy @changaco @kravietz Every European country is a social democratic mixed economy with a welfare state, and with social benefits.

A system of social benefits is in practice setting a minimal level of income, but it's an awkward one. It requires a heavy bureaucracy, the purpose of which is to deny social benefits to an appropriate number of people, and it introduces a benefits trap where you might not be able to afford to take a particular job, because you would lose more in benefits than you would gain in salary.

A UBI turns this on its head by not having any conditions on the minimum level of income. You can maintain the same money supply through income taxation instead, and this eliminates the benefits trap.

AAAARGH.
