Apple Details App Store Changes to Comply With Texas Age Verification Law

[canadianreader]

I'd like to see them hack the age verification of some of the adult sites and expose some of these hypocrite Christian politicians

There's a precedent called Ashley Madison it exposed some high profile celebrities including conservatives and Christian influencers

The Ashley Madison Data Breach List Included A President’s Son & A Housewives Husband

32 million names were revealed in one of the biggest hacks in history.

That’s why I don’t like to have my credit card details stores with websites, even though I also do not fully know whether checking “do not save information” actually means they did not save.

Use virtual numbers if your credit card supports it.

They know what they’re doing and it’s spreading across the globe it has a purpose of collecting users’ information and behavior. It’s mass surveillance disguised as protecting the children.

Sort of like how our government is militarizing our cities under the guise of claiming they are war zones when they (the government) are, in fact, the ones instigating the conflict. Handmaid's Tale or Orwell's 1984...not sure which one is more fitting to describe where we are going.

Why are politicians so obsessed with kids?

More importantly, why does that obsession stop at school sh00tings?

 

[jarman92]

Ah, gotcha - IP vs. geolocation, I'm assuming?

Exactly. Pretty much every site uses IP but that’s really all they can use, whereas Apple has more accurate options. Just depends on what the law requires and what Apple feels like doing.

Scanning is not storing (thankfully!)

If it scans, it can store.

Why are politicians so obsessed with kids?

The same reason they’re obsessed with their genitalia. They can’t stop thinking about it.

 

[M5RahuL]

Literally everything Politicians say is a lie and always has been.

That's more apt.

Come to a bar in Louisiana some time, where your driver's license barcode gets scanned on entry

Had the (dis)pleasure of visiting Monroe for car club meetup... was outta there in a NY minute!! 🤮

When you go into a store to buy a game or purchase alcohol or smokes, they look at your license, they do not store it in an online database.

Sometimes they scan it, sometimes they look at it. In either case thats not relevant to the law at hand. The government (Texas in this case) is not demanding Apple store or send ID, the law simply states that Apple must verify the age or parental consent. How is up to apple, Apple can easily check for age without storing anything.

I dont understand the level of cognitive dissonence needed to somehow think some of these major cities aren't mini warzones.

Chicago is literally called ChIRAQ for a reason. Its completely NORMAL to have mass shooting incidents on a daily basis and entire weekends of 50-100 shootings with mountains of fatalities. My best friend was randomly shot and killed while helping his friend move to chicago. I was randomly attacked sitting in my car in chicago.

The national guard should have entered Chicago over a decade ago when Obama was in power. In some of these other major cities there is outright gang warfare. If the city isn't doing its job, the state isnt doing its job, why are you upset that the federal government is doing the job.

Don't like it? Then vote for politicans that actually take care of the rampant crime problem. You live in SoCal you are used to people breaking into your car every day. Thats not normal, nor should it ever be acceptable. I for once am happy that our military is being used domestically to benefit the innocent victims of this country instead of giving "freedom" and "democracy" to the rest of the world.

the good ol’ U.S. of A ..where our politicians, bless their undercooked brains, absolutely adore kids… but only as long as they can use them as political props, emotional clickbait, or a convenient tax write-off. You’ll see them clutching babies like they’re auditioning for America’s Next Top Caregiver, grinning like they just discovered empathy for the first time ... and then immediately voting against school lunches, healthcare, and any policy that might help those same kids make it to puberty.

To them, children aren’t the future, they’re just miniature campaign posters: adorable, disposable, and perfect for the “family values” photo op right before the lobbyist dinner. Because nothing screams “for the people” like using a toddler as a backdrop while cutting education funding.

Historically that’s what governments do when there’s no money or when the money supply is inevitably becoming worthless. When people are divided and fighting each other they’re distracted about their wealth being stolen but just in the event they wake up and start opposing the official narrative there’s these mass surveillance tools including AI that monitor and keep the population in check, and prevent a corrupt system from falling.

Great idea! Apple Card supports that -- yay! My two other credit cards don't -- boo!

Totally off-topic, but I hope that whomever adopts Apple Card (Chase?) will maintain these same features. It makes the Apple Card really safe and secured to use. It's my to-go card!

Totally. They don't really care about the children. They use them like pawns. Children are but an instrument to political gain, and also to get these politicians to create a world of bodily (primarily female, and non-straight) control.

 

[jarman92]

That's more apt.

No, it’s not. That’s mealy-mouthed, useless bothsidesism.

Probably because we’ve actually been there and see videos from there every single day that prove this is deranged lunacy. Chicago in particular is consistently ranked the best place to live in the US and one of the best cities in the world. And needless to say, nobody actually uses the term “Chiraq.”

Probably because many of us live in or routinely visit a variety of cities inaccurately portrayed this way.

Your sources of information are exaggerating and often outright lying to you my friend.

I hear about it from several friends and family who are also running in certain information circles.

What I always tell them is this:

1. Think about who is wanting you to think this.
2. Why are they wanting you to think these things are true?
3. What are their actual goals?

Btw:

I'm in no way discounting your personal experiences. Absolutely not!
Those things you mentioned sound awful and are not ok.

But be careful when others tell you to map that onto other places and situations.

If you bothered to read my post you will see I lived there. Once again my friend was shot and killed helping another one my friends move. Literally he went outside to take a smoke break and was randomly shot. Shooter was never found.

Once again, mass shootings is a completely normal occurrence in Chicago

7 killed, 26 wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago - CWB Chicago

Seven people were murdered and 26 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend, according to police. The weekend’s tally marked a modest increase from the same period last year, though city violence-tracking site HeyJackass notes that four years since 2015 have had more...

There is even a nice website that compiles it all from official city sources:

Illustrating the Chicago Values of Crime, Murder & Mayhem with comprehensive charts, precise graphs and exhaustive data sets of Chicago stupidity.

(Note to mods: this is the actual name of the website, not me flaming anyone)

Finally once again ask yourself why do the locals call it "chiraq".

Im glad you when you visited you went to the super rich and privileged areas but ultimately the average middle class to poor person have to deal with the rampant crime issues.

"Your sources of information are exaggerating and often outright lying to you my friend."
Yes, I shouldn't believe my lying eyes, let me listen to our corrupt politicians they know what is best.

Statistically, you're more likely to be a victim of violent crime in Birmingham or Memphis than in Chicago. So why hasn't the National Guard been deployed in those cities?

Why is this necessary? Apple has had family accounts and ways to lockdown devices for kids for a long time now.

Because the party of small government says so.

Why is everyone always so obsessed with Chicago? Memphis has a higher crime rate.

Memphis is in a red state, so they get a pass.

Mass shootings are a completely normal occurrence in Chicago because Chicago is in the United States, where mass shootings are a completely normal occurrence. The US needs universal healthcare and gun control, not military occupation. If you want to live in a police state then feel free to move to China or Russia or North Korea.

And the locals DO NOT call it Chiraq.

 

[turbineseaplane]

I mean, the Chicago thing ..
This is just not something any American should want.

State & Local leaders are defiantly objecting to these actions and the President should be listening to them.

Calling for arrests of elected officials?

Do people not understand how dangerous and inappropriate this rhetoric is?
