"No matter your age, the [UK] Online Safety Act will restrict the content available to you online.”

Last night I got age checked buying a vegan tiramisu, which got me wondering how much tiramisu you'd have to eat as an underage drinker to get even remotely inebriated. So I'm putting it out there because that's the sort of extreme nerdery Mastodon is good at calculating.
"We must oppose #ChatControl / #Palantir / facial surveillance: what if it falls into the wrong hands"
I've always found that argument rather bizarre, because any hands wielding these things automatically become the wrong hands.
But it seems to work better than abstractly trying to convince people that these tools are *intrinsically* bad, and it's not wrong either, just a bit redundant - so I'll keep using it.
The right to privacy is essential to a healthy democracy.
If we do not fight for the former,
we will also lose the latter.

It comes in two flavours: random but still useful:
"Yeah, V for... uh... Veloceraptor?"
And sadistic:
