IT security student. Programmer of digital duck tape, learning to write digital plumbing. Aspiring cryptographer. Personal research interests include zero-knowledge credentials (to counter online antisocial conduct while protecting privacy) and AV/image non-repudiation (to counter deepfakes). Anti-exceptionalist egalitarian. Empirical pragmatist: evidence over ideology, results over rationalization. Theory is as good as the least of its falsifiability, its internal consistency, and its withstanding of attempted disproof. It is as useful as one is willing to revise or replace it when it falls.

#GamersNexus once again prove themselves as among the most important and professional of US journalists today, reporting on the connections of #Discord and its upcoming #ageVerification and #chatControl imposition to technofeudal oligarch #PeterThiel, private #panopticon maker and seller #Palantir, leading anti-#privacy UK politician and lesser oligarch Joanna Shields, child-corralling company k-ID, and even (indirectly, through Thiel) Jeffery #Epstein.
As always with GN videos since the Nvidia/Bloomberg incident, download and back up the video ahead of vexatious DMCA abuses, to ensure a Streisand effect if the oligarchs try to censor it.
