I would say end of british monarchy, which might have already happened a while ago, but they are only now "telling the kids"

Please summarize the most important aspect - according to what you believe - which is WHO, WHY, HOW and WHEN, so we have a common basis to continue examining whether it's possible to exit the Matrix with or without that knowledge.

The platform has been taking a lot of hits lately (that or the devs have been busy trying to add new code) - we have been facing all kinds of random issues like unable to post replies, unable to upvote etc

I think you’re confused that I thought that Trump was dead

Nobody thought that.

Did Duck Duck go post that Trump and Vance were dead though? Cause that’s what it looks like to me.

What it looks like to you and what is true are entirely different things. You fell for a hoax. You could have asked duckduckgo yourself to see if it actually said something like that, but you didnt. You just believed what you saw. And now you come and insult everyone here who called you out.

So I am curious. What kinda data do these people worry will get collected?

Consider that the moment you sign up with your ISP, they already have a list of every single website you visit. Even with SSL, they will know the IP addresses of every site you visit and hence what you are visiting.

If you use VPNs, then the VPN company has the exact same list.

And by ad aggregation, a lot of companies like Google etc already know not only what you like to buy, but what kind of content you consume in addition to what sites you visit.

So, what exactly are they worried will happen with the new data collected - the act does not even force check IDs, they can simply use AI and scan your face for example.

Keep in mind the other aspects of the KIDS Act:

Key Components

Kids Online Safety (revised KOSA): Requires covered platforms (large social media/services) to implement "reasonable policies and procedures" for harms like severe violence, sexual exploitation, drug sales, gambling, and fraud. Mandates protective defaults for minors (e.g., limiting compulsive features like infinite scroll/notifications, disabling personalized recommendations by default, turning off geolocation, and restricting stranger interactions). Provides parental tools and reporting mechanisms. Teens (13-17) get more autonomy than younger children. No general "duty of care" for content moderation. 

Privacy Enhancements (COPPA 2.0 updates): Extends stronger protections to teens (beyond under-13s), bans targeted advertising to minors, gives deletion rights for personal data, and broadens the knowledge standard ("knows or should know") for compliance. 

Age Verification / Shielding from Obscenity (SCREEN Act): Requires technology verification measures for sites where a significant portion of content is sexually harmful to minors (to block minor access). Platforms can choose methods; it does not mandate government ID. 

Other Titles:

Safe Messaging/Gaming: Limits ephemeral messaging and certain direct messaging for minors; requires safeguards in online games (e.g., default contact limits, purchase caps, time limits).
AI Chatbots: Requires disclosures (not human), policies against misrepresentation, crisis resources, and risk mitigations.
Stop Profiling Youth (SPY Kids): Restricts market research on minors.
Research/Education: Commissions studies on social media harms, fentanyl access, safety tools, chatbots/mental health; promotes online safety education and partnerships

No broad duty of care (removed after negotiations; earlier versions raised free speech concerns). 

Enforcement primarily via FTC and other mechanisms

Critics (e.g., EFF, some senators like Blumenthal) argue it could indirectly drive widespread age verification, weaken protections, or insufficiently address design harms. Supporters (including some child safety advocates and Public Knowledge) praise the safe-by-design defaults, privacy focus, and avoidance of heavy surveillance/censorship. 

The bill is a compromise package that prioritizes platform design changes and defaults over content bans or heavy monitoring. Its fate in the Senate is uncertain due to differences with the stronger Senate KOSA approach.

The fact that you refuse a simple yes/no answer tells me you are hearing what I am saying, but you also know that it is the real problem.

What you are saying really is "Yes I am going to be part of the illusion as well because I have no choice, but I am gonna keep blaming the people who created illusion, not the illusion itself."

Funnily you refuse to pay heed to what you yourself said in the beginning:

It's 100% about understanding the real people, and the false reality they convinced us of (the Matrix).

Money is one of those aspects of the false reality. And you are as much part of it as I am or anyone else. You can get angry with the anyone or anything that created this reality, but it the illusion are in our minds.

If 20% of the people close their bank accounts and live off the grid, the illusion collapses.

And thats entirely on us.

They have been collecting all our data for decades

OH NO, this KIDS Act is the one that will take over our data

Ultimately, none of these Acts are the problem. It is the reaction from people when they try to abuse any data. These data abuses have been going on for decades and no one made a peep.

If you (not you personally, but whoever is freaking out) didnt freak out during Covid when they were forcing everyone to get experimental vaccines, but you are freaking out now when we are trying to stop kids from being groomed, you can just f*ck off.

You. are forgiven for a lot of things.

Sometimes we allow (and even sticky) same topic but different titles that put the topic in different contexts.

Our search feature is limited, so we make allowance for that.

Sometimes we allow a new duplicate post to be stickied the next day if the topic is very important.

Other times, a duplicate post might have had nice conversation going, so we leave it up.

But the thing most important to make sure is to check the New feed to make sure we don't spam the same news at the same time.

This is the way, not just with Fed but with everything. Venezuela was the best example.

"Burning down the old" always leads to new systems that do exactly same as old, and often times worse (like Iraq).

With Venezuela Trump proved that its best to cut out the cancer and keep the healthy tissue that can be healed.

Same with Iran - I think Trump's constant "tacoing" is really about mapping out the cancer and striking it out.

Same with Fed. Tom Luongo made a clear distinction. Fed that controls dollar availability to international markets vs Treasury that funds government via treasury bonds.

Having control of your currency in international markets is extremely important since taking control of currency is the way the Cabal takes down governments so many times in history. In fact, keeping Fed rates high last year really helped put the squeeze on ECB and BOJ.

Oh I wish so badly we had this, fren. Sadly the platform has a lot of limitations, and keyword search is a big one.

We are, btw, working on this.

I am just stating facts. If you know that money is fiction, but you cannot buy what you want to survive without using that money, then you are forced to play the game necessary to obtain that fiction.

This is not a belief, this is logic.
