#Trump admin plans online portal to bypass content bans

Portal team includes former DOGE member, possibly including a #VPN

Users will be able to see content banned by their govts including alleged hate speech & terrorist propaganda.

The site will be hosted at freedom.gov.

Age verification makes people create profiles on platforms.

For porn sites, this means tying a specific user to algorithmic profiles. It enables customised porn feeds that are designed to keep them on the platform for longer.

It also exposes people more to data breaches and advertising networks.

Proposals to expand age checks to VPNs and features like infinite-scrolling for UK users makes things worse.

The result is more personal data swilling around in tech firms and a permanent expansion of tracking infrastructure.

For VPNs, we're told to discard privacy for supposed 'safety'.

It makes no sense.
