So, they are basically announcing that they are
forming a committee
to figure out
how to talk about
how to understand the stuff?
…Honestly, it could have been a lot worse.
Everyone on today’s internet is directly exposed to regulations like GDPR, the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and lately numerous age verification (or assurance) laws and related social media bans for minors.
How, how, how did we manage to stray this far from John Perry Barlow’s dreams? Is there any good left in the world? ;_;

It doesn’t say what they’re planning to do about laws requiring age verification. It says they’re forming a group to figure that out. The problem with bad legislation is you can’t just ignore it, so they need to at least work out an approach. In itself this news is neutral, but we’ll have to see what they decide.
I think going out an meeting people IRL is what I will go for next.
unfortunately age verification is now required to touch grass
but you can fuck all the children you want as long as you’re in “the club”.
