What if your private chats couldn't be scanned? Keep an eye out for Valour v0.9 😉
Next Tuesday, a permanent decision on Chat Control 2.0 could be made. 😡 If passed, this means your private chats WILL be SCANNED. 🚨 PLEASE TAKE ACTION: Contact your MEPs 👉 fightchatcontrol.eu/?level=n… At Tuta we say NO to #ChatControl and will continue to fight for your right to privacy. ❤️🔐 Image source: patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/c…

This is a massive update and all existing planets will be migrated to this system. We expect a few hiccups, so be patient as we undertake it! Most features should feel unchanged. We'll put out more documentation on what has changed later.

A/B testing thumbnails made sense. It's wrapping a present. Everyone ends up watching the same thing. A/B testing videos is literally having no clue what could be in the box lol. Imagine sharing a timestamp?
MKBHD has raised concerns over YouTube's new feature that lets creators test different versions of the same video "The more I think about it… the less I like it"

Valour.gg • Chat for Communities retweeted
Small website owners are getting bullied by foreign countries' censorship mandates, don't have access to lawyers who know this area well, and don't know how to handle it. This is why America needs a censorship shield law like the GRANITE Act.
Replying to @LivvyPersonals
This leaves small websites with a choice of either not servicing an entire state or region, or to shut down entirely due to fear of fines of not complying with age verification laws. This leaves the internet reserved for big tech companies who own or can afford the service.

re "Silence, brand": just to be clear, Valour is a couple of volunteers working since 2020 and paying out of pocket so people have a safe place to exist without the corpos sucking all the fun out of your lives and your data we have no funding, no agenda, and we aren't paid

Okay so we will give Discord's social media guy some credit because he has not blocked us yet Some of their employees have, so social media guy at least has a spine
Maybe take the le big chungus guy off the social media team when talking about serious problems

...discord's goals are aligned with governments here. this gives them a massive excuse to build profiles on their entire userbase, scan private data, and use the "oh the government forced us to!" excuse whenever they want they can now hide behind daddy government forever

these laws also create a moat for discord: small platforms that cannot afford to comply (contracts with facial recognition companies, etc) are pushed out of the market allowing discord to maintain a monopoly in their social media corner

imagine sending this tweet back to 2016 and warning everyone what the internet was going to become people would have called you a conspiracy theorist, doomer, idiot
You can now check your automatically estimated Age Group by visiting Account Settings on Desktop and Mobile! If you don't see the label yet check back throughout the coming weeks as verification continues to roll out to everyone.

The internet is under attack from all angles and not one corporation will stand up to defend it
Their new rules are absurd. No assets can be made where "two characters have either their face or bodies 'overly close'" You also cannot have assets where thighs are touched or where someone sits on someone else's lap. And no violent expression. Art is under attack.
