Hey tech wizards, you may remember me from last year when I spoke
about a false claim ban imposed by a scraper website. However, I
cannot tolarate login/auth blocks on social media as well as NSFW
content being widely affected. Both of these had clearly lead straight
to the internet as a whole becoming more locked down and
nonfunctional, making scrapers impossible to extract files, people to
view stuff they like, etc. This should all be combatted so people can
view them without an issue.
The sites I found to have been affected so far by these login/auth
blocks are Twitter/X and Tumblr, starting from 2022 onward. For NSFW
content blocks, I found Twitter, Tumblr, Newgrounds, deviantART (when
searching specific content) and, most recently, Steam.
There needs to be a way to curb this without auth.

Use alternate frontends. For example, instead of Twitter, use nitter.
privacydev.net is my current instance of choice, it works around auth
walls for NSFW.
Tumblr works fine over Tor (but you do need a login). Whatever, just
sign up with a disposable untraceable email.
Tor is increasingly blocked or captcha'd due to ClownFlare and
ClownFront, so sadly I've had to start relying more on private VPN
services. The good news is that normal people use VPNs now, so corps
don't want to block them in most circumstances.
Ultimately, the best way to work around sites that require auth and a
residential IP is to use a privacy-friendly alternative, or fuarrrking
go outside or something

Trouble is, most nitter instances aren't fixing it due to the fact
that NSFW accessibility depends on the country the instance runs in,
and potentially the country from which its guest accounts were made.
To quote:
>Checked a dozen instances. Not actually fixed.
nitter.net and other instances - if you are looking for NSFW content-
based accounts - seem to have been missing pictures, see this link:

>"increasingly blocked or captcha'd"
I really wish for login/auth blocks to shut down on socials and all
types of content to be free from "login with email/age consent"
warnings without the need for alternate frontends.
NSFW content restrictions had impacted Steam recently in concerns to
games or existing mods for games via Workshop. Things used to be
marked as "content may not be appropriate for all audiences" but now
it seems to be on an "are you sure to view it" page or even blocked.
Pic attached; this happened when I was trying to view a game published
by Taylor McCue.

I found this on nitter.
Normally, agecheck would read:
This game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not
be appropriate for viewing at work.
Please enter your birth date to continue...
This instance said: You must login to see this content.
This happened with some mods that couldn't be visibly seen on Steam
Workshop as well.

Looks like it works fine, you just have to use a server not hosted in
a soykafhole. It's not Twitter's fault that various localities have
retarded laws requiring censorship. Nitter is the best alternative to
not using Twitter at all.
I don't like it either, we should all just be using the Fediverse but
that's the network effect for you
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nanashi No Gombe · 2024-01-06 09:22
Going back, there needs to be a way to curb all of these problems
without auth/alternate frontends. Like, way before these blocks were
added.

Here's another one I found. e621.net has a couple of blacklists - and
one globally affects the 'young' tag on scraped images rated Q and E
unless logged in. This is because of legality issues.
https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabber/issues/2414
I learnt a lesson here. Don't click on the arrows for image pages on
site unless you want an affected image to throw up a 'login to view'
message. Now I was angry because github repos are failing to scrape
the hidden images.
At least these programs work around:
https://e621.net/forum_topics/25850
https://e621.net/forum_topics/26236
But ever since I encountered such a big issue that fits here, I really
want the people that run e621.net to permanently shut down the global
blacklist for anons so that affected images could be scraped again.
The global blacklist for anons affecting specific scraped images is
just like the other login/auth blocks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Crazy Jake · 2024-01-06 13:40
>>39418
e621.net is tricky to get past a age-gate pop-up if you are using the
site for the first time but ESC key works if you press it at the right
time.
Formerly, any posts containing the tag 'young' and a rating other than
Safe could be scraped without problems. This 'young -rating:s' block
had gone too far, even on github repos.
The people that run e621.net need to get their act together,
permanently shut down the global blacklist for anons because it acts
like the other login/auth blocks, and I hope they never make the
mistake ever again.
Here's another github repo that mentions the block:

I know the whereabouts of a man who did something that resulted in a
life-lasting trauma that haunts my girlfriend to this day. She has a
mental disorder and chronic suicidality.
She grew up with an abusive father who often left her and her younger
brothers on their own. Their father had shady business with different
people and they had access to their house with the door unlocked. Some
people hated him so much, one day they decided to take their anger out
on his children, with her being the oldest at the age of 5. They
entered the house when the father was absent and discovered that other
adults from the neighbors who often hung out there looking after the
children weren't around. They forced her to undress herself and to
undress her brother. Then they took out the cellphones and started
filming, forcing her to fuarrrk her 3 year old brother. He doesn't
remember any of it. After they got enough of that they sent her
brother away into a room and took turns masturbating in her mouth. She
was terrified, after they left she cleaned herself, dressed her
brother up and never told anybody about what happened. As a result she
became very withdrawn in school and at home.
One of the men died years ago. Recently it became known that the other
is still in the city and lives at a different address. It's been 20
years.

improve Steam Workshop for things that were blocked recently and turn

>>39472
>How would you tolarate login walls/NSFW auth blocks if the
Netherlands is the only one to allow these?
I'm unsure of what you mean exactly, but I see two ways to see this
question
If you mean in the sense the Netherlands is the only one to allow
login walls, than my answer is simply that I won't tolerate it. I'm
not from the Netherlands, but an evil still persists in a part of the
world.
If you mean in the sense that the Netherlands is the only one to allow
the subjects you linked in your post, well, it's kind of a shame.
Usually region locks are put in place by the author of the game in the
first place. It's rare that it's because of a company or country but
it has happened in the past. like is the case with Nintendo with its
old region lock system for the 3DS or Australia for certain types of
content. I can somewhat begrudgingly tolerate it if it is under the
wishes of the individual AKA the author, but otherwise it is like
kicking dead whales down the beach and these regulations/practices
have to go too.
>Like how can you improve Steam Workshop for things that were blocked
recently and turn them into better SFW mods?
(this line was also a tongue twister but i think i eventually
understood it)
I'm conflicted here. Steam says in their rules says they don't allow
explicit content (evidentially, publicly with no acc) and I have to
respect it, but it also allows valve to point to that rule and say
this is why they need a login wall. (saying it violates a rule but can
tolerate it if its behind a wall) Unfortunately, with my values, I
have to respect Valve's right of setting that boundary on their
private platform. (I don't share that same sentiment with the forced
blacklist on e6 that was mentioned in this thread. I understand that
It's the best of both world because of legal reasons, where stuff
isn't deleted but hidden from view without an account from normal
people, but I have stronger opinions than just "conflicted" here
because it comes from a silly legal issue that is a reason why the
internet is going to soykaf. which seems to be unlike Steam where it
is a private decision from the start. Just taking this opportunity to
add nuance on my stance.)
So, to answer, There's no way to improve steam workshop externally
from Valve unless its with some sort of political power or within the
company. Unless you are referring to the mods, then the only way is to
follow the guidelines or post somewhere else.
I do have to give the mod creator, in the link you posted, credit for
dancing around the rules and making something acceptable with no wall
yet still suggestive. Valve seem pretty lax all in all compared to
other companies.
Still wished that it wasn't a rule and there was no wall on some
content, but can i tolerate it.
I do have to lay out my cards here and say that I use Steam and never
had a problem accessing anything because i'm pretty much always logged
in. So this is a new problem to me that i never had to deal with,
unlike social medias, where i battle these systems on the daily
because i'm commonly not logged in and don't want to. I do recognize,
however, that the two situations in general are the exact same.
The more keen eyed lainon here may also notice that my logic seems to
clash and contradict itself and to be honest i'm still trying to
formulate my stance. I know "login wall bad" but I seem to have some
tolerance if the decision comes from the individual/a private entity
that owns a private platform rather than just a reason to appease
banks/shareholders or/and the law to a significant degree. (the main
reason i believe the clearnet is riddled with these stupid auth checks
and constant policing.)
That's it for my tedtalk, good god.

From what I read on Desuchan's homepage, companies and/or specific
laws in the Netherlands to host NSFW content. nitter privacydev.net
handles this from some locations like this one.
As for the second question in my previous post, the reason why I
suggested better, quality-of-life mods on Steam Workshop was "how can
you improve existing mods for people to subscribe/download?" - not
just in the wake of the recent NSFW content blocks thanks to Steam's
newest algorithm, but also mainstream.
>I do have to give the mod creator, in the link you posted, credit for

Newgrounds were copying Twitter in handling NSFW login/auth blocks.
There was a bug in regards to high volume of new accounts/associated
anti-spam API calls, meaning that one wouldn't need age
consent/account registration to use until they managed to put the
restrictions back up.
Clicking on the A content icon in gallery search would still throw up
the login prompts, despite the bug affecting images in user profiles
(prior to the bugfix).
>>39476
>what NSFW content blocks really look like
The image's a bloodier version of Newgrounds's tiny version of the
'restricted content, 18+' icons that I'm getting sick of. The whole
point of this is NSFW content is not just being blocked, it's
suffering like some incurable disease in terms of accessing them
without age/account consents.
Pics related, as if they were responses to NSFW content being mass-
blocked from guests. Source is PixelJail - while I found plenty of
links in images to a video they made on Braag.net (alt site for
viewing NSFW content), most of them had been affected by the age
restrictons on NG, which has got to stop, just like with everything
else that we had sewn so far.

Years ago, they let you access things for free because they wanted
that sweet monopoly. They have that now, we gave it to them in
exchange of free services. Now that they have the monopoly it is
expected for them to monetise it by easy data harvesting.

consent/cookies, no account needed like e621.net's javascript prompt.

In my belief, this thread is supposed to be pinned because it's

people who are on this imageboard to help protest here, obviously,
against the auth blocks that are cutting accessiblity on the web
short, ie. Tumblr blocking, and on top of that, banning NSFW material
in 2018. I hope this is acceptable.

Unfortunately, no. Nitter's good for Twitter/X but their auth is buggy
for some reason, come to think of it. I checked the link, but if
something needs to shut down entirely because it is causing restricted
access to people browsing the internet, that's not my problem at
least.
Had anybody been through e621.net's galleries and found a link where
it says "some images may be hidden because you need to sign in to view
them"?
https://e621.net/help/blacklist (Look at the "Please keep in mind that
unless you are logged in, any posts containing the tag young and a
rating other than Safe will not be displayed..." part)
https://e621.net/help/global_blacklist (they did this because of
legality issues)
https://e621.net/forum_topics/25804
https://github.com/McSib/e621_downloader/issues/31
This is wrong as any posts containing young rating:-s should be
displayed on-site. Even the young tag is on the normal blacklist, but
it only picks up Safe images.
I want the global young rating:-s blacklist completely disabled
because this is killing access to people viewing them.
The accounts should not be mandatory to view that kind of content. If
you go to the page without being logged you will get "You must be
logged in to view this image. (learn more)" which in my opinion should
actually not exist.
Here's some relaxing pigs to calm down tedious talkers:

Steam's "login-based" agecheck affects everything relating to AO-rated
games on their store and worse, spreads to game community hubs and/or
Workshop mods.
This is a serious breach of trust by killing off a lot of games with
such a robust filtering system for account-less clients, like Fear and
Hunger or HFTGOOM (the latter is more obvious because Taylor McCue
said on Twitter that the filters "[would] likely work against it being
seen").
https://store.steampowered.com/account/preferences really is like
kicking dead whales down the beach, it's everywhere on their Help and
Tips forums.
Imagine Valve says "Adult Only Sexual Content would not need to be
unchecked as a guest" and it works without these stupid filters
because companies are making age-gates/consents/login D.O.B.'s a
constant nightmare.

The whole "login to view" thing happened in 2018 for Steam, but now I
had gotten sick of it due to recent widespread accounts of around
three mods being hidden:
-https://piped.kavin.rocks/results?search_query=tboi+beast+mod

-https://steamcommunity.com/id/relaxalitte/screenshots/?appid=250900&s
ort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall
>>39458
Steam needs to bring back the notices on screenshots, not hide the
images because they were 100% accessable to image scrapers.
I was trying to find other instances of 'login to view' on Steam
forums but came up empty.

Tumbig is having problems
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Splicer · 2024-02-02 16:22
>>39621
GitHub isn't showing ANYTHING on Google in regards to Tumbig issuing
403 errors whenever I am trying to search for stuff. Is this a bug?
This had happened recently before midinght got a chance to strike, and
I was trying to investigate more of those 'post-2018 ban' blogs when a
403 error popped up on three tabs in regard to those blogs. I thought
that the blogs needed logins or consents, but every search or refresh
bought the same 403 error forward, to which I realized this was not
possible. Tumbig's supposed to give 404 errors for dead blogs, but
this? How on Earth did that happen? What's causing this issue? Is this
a bug or the entire site going offline? Has anybody checked Tumbig
only to find this bug?
The real kicker; could this be a malware attack that led Tumbig to
send out 403s?
Could anybody look into the problem?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jet Black · 2024-02-03 02:24
>>39622
Could anybody look into the problem? The bug is still present.
Here is an example of Tumbig really working before the site kept
issuing 403 errors, which again I realized is not possible because
they hamdle 404s.
Other questions:
>Is this to with a security certificate that expired recently like
nitter.net? If so, would there be a bugfix?
>Is it to do with NSFW spambots?
>Is this because the site shut down due to unknown reasons?
>Who owns Tumbig? If so, could anybody talk to them about the 403 bug?

https://e621.net/help/global_blacklist (again, javascript warning)
https://e621.net/forum_topics/25804?page=1#forum_post_286147
From NotMeNotYou: "This blacklist has been added because we've been
constantly getting heckled by government officials of foreign nations
that our content is illegal in their jurisdiction, and that we need to
comply or they'll ban us, send the feds on us, set our crops on fire,
and generally be annoying. And it's not just been us, but also our
host that has gotten these legitimate threats. So in order to protect
everybody, we've had to take a rather drastic step to curb those
people from bothering us.
"As such we absolutely intent to have that blacklist continue to exist
simply so we can stop having to play whack-a-mole with those people."
Any posts in e621.net containing young rating:-s is affected
regardless of changes to a custom blacklist, this is because of legal
issues as a GitHub repo said.
I mean young is also in the custom blacklist as a preset but young
rating:-s is still present. I think is this a stupid idea to make an
on-site client blacklist for CP art? Considering that we are also
stopping the cp2 spammer attacks on /q/, is e621.net trying to also
control CP? Rather than just deleting it, e621.net are trying to brush
it under a carpet to get away from the federal police.
Searching for young rating:-s ; young rating:q and young rating:-e
had fetched no results for guests when CLEARLY I know it should find
images scraped from login-walled sites for them to archive elsewhere.
See the image for reference.
There are some scraper galleries that allow young rating:-s for
guests, but for e621, I am confused right now.
Found this on GitHub via e621.net if you want:

Going forwards, do robots.txt/antivirus affect login blocks?
I use McAfee and I had been browsing older posts on Uboachan (where my
complaints impacted a lot of you, possibly due to my own threads being
inactive). But do the issues impact this topic? Because I think from
what I've seen is only sites that do loginwalls don't have a disallow
command in robots.txt or McAfee says it's risky :s

Anyway, Desuchan closed /loli/ in 2011, reopened it a year later (if
not less), and closed it again because of legal matters, like e621.net
had recently.
Desuchan announced in 2014 that they had moved to a new URL while
/loli/ was still shut down (thus the homepage redirects) before it
came back online after 9-10 years... but to be honest, I'm not sure if
this was to do with CP control, spam attacks or anything out of the

Other scraper galleries have custom presets for images tagged young

attacks once and for all via /q/, the reason I excluded e621.net was
because I was confused at that point of reading their forums about

frontends, no need for workarounds

Terzibashjian · 2024-02-20 08:11
STOP CONFESSING YOUR PROBS HERE AND PAY ATTENTION
I cannot tolarate login/auth blocks on social media as well as NSFW
content being widely affected. Both of these had clearly lead straight
to the internet as a whole becoming more locked down and
nonfunctional, making scrapers impossible to extract files, people to
view stuff they like, etc.
This should all be combatted so people can view them without an issue
- that means NO MIRRORS OR AUTH TOKENS. LET THEM BE FREE.

respects, even besides the login problem.

You mean on other nitter branches like nitter.privacydev.net? The site
has become slower to start recently.
If you want, here's a list of nitter instances:

nitter.domain.glass used to be on the list, so could anybody speak out
on what happened? It's still fechting 503 errors...

Nitter hasn't renewed their certificate for 32 days now. They should
and stop rate-limiting now because I am getting sick of it, since
today the rate-limit errors stopped me from viewing the site.

Batou · 2024-02-27 19:16

just checking you understand how nitter works. they need the guest
accounts access the api to get the posts. twitter stopped exposing
posts any other way, so other scraping methods aren't an option, that
i know. if your use case for nitter was "viewing twitter without
logging in", that was only possible through those guest accounts, and
so their removal has killed your use. there is nothing the nitter
developers can do to restore it, unless you had other intentions for
using nitter, but this thread is pretty single-issue so far. rate-
limiting was the generic error message for when a server ran out of
guest accounts, which they all have, because they all expired and the
api has been closed. the certificate has expired because the developer
was only focused on bypassing the login requirement, so they have no
more interest in the project, although that wouldn't affect instances
other than the main instance. whilst i'm here: have you spoken to
anybody not on the internet about this? because to be honest i don't
think this is getting any better, and in that instance i would feel
better knowing you had someone real to speak to. not like anybody on
an imageboard is going to open dialogue. you already seem aware this
isn't good for you [>>39617]

The Nitter team should have more interest in the project because
Twitter killed guest access for everything, even NSFW-marked posts.
The latter was what made Nitter buggy in my opinion.

I think Nitter was being too kind to the rules
There are download services on (ad-riddled) sites that will let me
download pics/videos from "nsfw" posts. and services like fxtwitter
have no problem fetching data, too.
I have no solutions to propose yet, only tools, because I'm not well
versed in that field. I'm still scratching my head on how to find urls
without the need of someone's account. but if one somehow finds a way
to fetch only urls, you could use a service like fxtwitter to fetch
the remaining data.
There are a drawback to this I identified: It is possible that you'd
be abusing using a free open-source service and putting some strain on
it.
Also, twitter could go around and axe does projects, too.

>>39808
>"Nitter was being too kind to the rules"
Nitter (overall) was great when it came to accounts/posts that were
affected by age/DOB verification, but in 2023, Nitter had a weird bug
that got fixed somewhat. See:
https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/829
GitHub users discovered that most Nitter instances weren't fixing it
due to the fact that NSFW accessibility depended on the country the
instance ran in, and potentially the country from which its guest
accounts were made. If you were looking for NSFW content-based
accounts after that issue, they seemed to have missing pictures. No
age/DOB verification tombstones, but NSFW accounts were buggy beyond
belief. See: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1040
PrivacyDevel's version of Nitter fixed NSFW content blocks, which was
done by checking for NSFW content as a guest token before using an
authenticated request. Authenticated requests were rate-limited, but
were very handy in scraping specific items! See:
https://github.com/PrivacyDevel/nitter/issues/26
>Download services on (ad-riddled) sites that will let me download
items from age/DOB-blocked posts
One of the things you can try is uBlockOrigin for an ad-free
experience.
Here's the main GitHub repo for fxtwitter:
https://github.com/FixTweet/FxTwitter
>"I'm still scratching my head on how to find URLs without the need of
someone's account."
Image scraper galleries work, like e621.net or furbooru.org if you
want specific images. If you scroll down on an image page, you can see
the source details (this is handy if you want to archive images from
e621.net that are affected by a global and/or custom blacklist).
Remember that there's a age-based consent/javascript pop-up thingy,
but it's like those sites that use cookies.
>"Twitter could go around and axe projects"
This is a huge worry for a lot of people if they want guest
accessibility from alternate social sites. However, Tumbig is still
thriving.

I'm wanting people to protest e621.net's global blacklist as I have
stated time and time again - hiding specific images because people
logging in to view them is not acceptable any longer, at least for me.
I don't care on a custom blacklist.
Every single page I saw was met with the same "post(s) on this page
were hidden because you need to be logged in to view them" message,
but this hit 75 images on each page. Even when you do remove young
from the the custom blacklist, everything that was there is still
completely hidden if you're not logged in.
Instead, they should rewrite it to say "post(s) on this page were
hidden because it is filtered by your custom preferences" because
having a global blacklist is annoying every page whenever I am trying
to save images. At least the affected images can be archived.

>A number of policy changes enacted by the popular social networks
Facebook and Tumblr (the latter having been well known for having
liberal policies regarding adult content) to restrict the posting of
sexual content on their respective platforms have also been cited as
examples of proactive censorship in the wake of the law, and a wider
pattern of increased targeted censorship towards LGBT communities.

>“Credit card companies are anti-porn,” he says, citing how both Visa
and Mastercard stopped accepting payments on Pornhub after the adult
video site was found hosting child sexual abuse videos. As a result,
Mullenweg is concerned that if Tumblr permits porn back on the
platform, it’ll get caught up in some controversy that’ll force Visa
and Mastercard to crack down on both Tumblr and WordPress.

government officials of foreign nations that our content is illegal in
their jurisdiction, and that we need to comply or they'll ban us, send
the feds on us, set our crops on fire, and generally be annoying. And
it's not just been us, but also our host that has gotten these
legitimate threats. So in order to protect our (and your) asses we've
had to take a rather drastic step to curb those people from bothering
us. As such we absolutely intent to have that blacklist continue to
exist simply so we can stop having to play whack-a-mole with those
people.
Back in 2018 FOSTA-SESTA was passed to "prevent" online sex
trafficking, and banks and payment processors supported it. Combine
that with corpos like Visa already being anti-porn and now they have
justification to deny payment services to any site hosting NSFW
content, regardless of the NSFW content involved real people or not.
For whatever reason, login walls appears to be the best defense
against Visa and FOSTA-SESTA (and similar laws), which is why most
sites post 2018 added them in some form. There's also been a trend of
trying to lock users down to a platform via content walls like this so
the platforms can harvest user data to sell to data brokers.
tl;dr blame the government's soykafty ideas, prudes running major
financial services, and platform owner's greed.

From what boggled my head, I've seen Tumblr being a prime example on
flagging SFW images since late 2018 - recently new NSFW-based blogs
have been showing up. It's like they are counter-acting the 2018 ban,
given how they can safely bypass Tumblr's rules without noticing them.

Throughout the comments on this Reddit thread, I have not seen a
mention of Steam's overhauled NSFW flagging system or even LMJ's

The same goes with
https://old.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/16utmg7/
Ignore the video as it's not related. I'm wishing that Steam changes
their stupid filtering system, otherwise this is such huge backlash to
NSFW creators.
TWStalker can access NSFW content with very little issue, on the other
hand. Just browse user search and you know what I mean.
The only user I want gone is Saunterwing because one of their art
descriptions was traumatizing along the lines of "Oh no! Abby has run
out of hit points/failed a critical objective/had a bad time! Either
way, it’s GAME OVER. Will you press start/insert coins fast enough to
save her? Like most of my ideas, this is cribbed from @quest-failed.
On his Patreon (”False Alias”), he does a series of retro “Game Over”
countdown videos, And I wanna do them with Abby as a stopgap between
being able to do animations and having to do extended series like an
animated short or a video game. Part one will be the initial
countdown, with “Part 2” being the actual “Game Over” screen. I just
have to learn how to use Photoshop for animation properly…"
Even the tags are disturbing:
my art Abby Abbymations Game over animated gif saunterwing
The kicker?
They were inspired by False Alias and NoHittingStart; I've seen enough
to know where this was going. Those two words should go into that user
as soon as all their accounts are wiped from existence.

Found another problem with Tumblr:
https://wip.tumblr.com/post/722836600209408000/hi-will-you-bring-back-

I want Tumblr to bring back the ability to send anonymous asks without
an account; I had not noticed it had changed a while back for security
reasons, but sending anonymous asks without an account was one way I
was able to lurk on tumblr for years before signing up for an account.
And it's nice to not have to login sometimes. Why it is too much of a
user safety risk when I went to tell Saunterwing that they hurt my
feelings concerning post #179982627842 and they should get a wide-
scoped ban on their accounts?
I don't care if people used it in really different ways. Tumblr just
unfortunately killed 'true' anon asking. This is not fair and I want
Tumblr to but free from all it's burdens.

As a result of the sheer amount of abuse people were receiving from
anonymous asks, Tumblr said it was "unavoidable but necessary" to
require a login. I want Tumblr to roll that decision back. In truth,
given the previous problems we've seen on Tumblr (NSFW blocks, login

Either way, it's made my day horrible. This should not happen and

inspired by a couple of suspended accounts and mark a .gif on the map
with some traumatizing comments.
If anybody asks me "That's a cool loading screen; font; etc., what is
the actual source of them?", I gonna have to say that I don't know to
the best of my knowledge. I don't know anyone else that would use any
of those assets, either.
Just updated the URL list that will help people to protest against
companies over the restrictions all thanks to account requirements
with/without age consents, hoping that things could be reversed for
the forseeable future. These had gone way too far for the internet and
us all, since this had made it, as a whole, becoming more locked down

I've heard on BBC Radio 4 News that Ofcom has warned social media
sites they could get derezzed for under-18s if they fail to comply
with new online safety rules, publishing draft codes of practice which
require tech firms to have more robust age-checking measures, and to
reformulate their algorithms to steer children away from what it
called "toxic" material.
>more robust age-checking measures
>algorithms reformulated to do so
Even a company has pushed these issues way too far. I want the
internet to be unlimited, free from age-checking measures and auth
blocks forever, not this. NEVER this.
Imagine algorithms were reformulated to reverse age-checking measures
and auth blocks forever, people would more be happy to browse social
media websites. They should either:
- protest Ofcom or
- use these methods with such force
These would never require alt frontends to jump to. Ofcom needs to be
stopped because they are putting social media sites at risk - and I
want you people here to understand social media sites should never,
ever block guests from viewing/scraping anything.

Speaking of PixelJail, in 2023 they uploaded what I could consider an
infamous incident regarding an animated video hit by the recent spike
in NSFW content blocks.
Source: https://naughtyniche.art/product/bb1/ (same age-confirmation
javascript issue like e621.net has)
>"This animation is completely free to watch online in full"
PixelJail posted stills of this via baraag.net and linked the full
video to Newgrounds in each. However,
https://baraag.net/@PixelJail/110182311525990839 contained a link to
the video via https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/879987 but it had
been blocked by the site's brute-forced "login to view" messages.

I really want this reversed because I've grown sick of how the video
can only be viewed with an 18+ account on the site or bought with an
art book when I KNOW it should be reuploaded somewhere else that's
free of these issues the internet is currently facing.
What Newgrounds had done to A-rated works is highly and massively
unfair, despite a bug around two years ago.

>highly and massively unfair
This thread's turned into a crackdown on sites putting up login auth
walls, blocking NSFW content with login credentials or banning them
altogether.
They should never do that. PixelJail promoted a half price sale via
their Gumroad shop for people buying their comics, art books, etc. as
they said the site "only thought 24 hours' notice was enough before
implementing a ban on all NSFW content". When I checked PixelJail's
Gumroad storefront, they were still selling items, leading me to
think, was Gumroad's ban botched?
I checked Gumroad's changed rules and they wouldn't allow new accounts
to sell products if they contained NSFW content. That site's better
than Tumblr's NSFW ban in 2018.

In regards to https://old.reddit.com/r/offmychest/comments/xxub2b/log_
in_to_confirm_youre_over_18/ the user FelineFriendly1 said that these
age-gates aren't affected by Incognito Mode, and contain QR codes for
downloading the mobile app, which contains a crucial element affected
in recent years: Anonymous browsing.
From what I learnt from this, anonymous browsing is being killed by
age-gates and login walls on several social media websites. I want the
future of the internet browsing restored in this way:
>No alt frontends
>No Github repos
When it comes to NSFW content, I want anonymous browsing for scraping
them, no blocks or bans altogether. They should not be allowed on
sites like Tumblr, for example, as they made surfing the web becoming
more locked down and nonfunctional. Companies should reverse these
blocks and bans for good/scrub their own blocks from the planes of
existence. I wish it was done - with brute force, so much so that
companies would think twice before permitting such blocks. It's all
their fault for blocking guest accessibility, not just censorship,
like these links for login/auth blocks:

YouTube in recent years.

Pixiv doesnt ask your age to my recall. You do have to set your
country to Japan to view all NSFW though because some stuff is
arbitrarily blocked as of recent.
>>41488
Pixiv was trying to keep out the credit card companies that forced
them to restrict content that is fully legal in Japan and the US. The
credit card companies being out of control policing the internet is
the root cause of increase of logins required to view content.

been hurt by these restrictions and how I want it reversed properly by
site staff, I don't care how many times Steam users uploaded game
screenshots with the mods in them. All I can say is either companies

It means your browsing habits would be more easily aggregated. Why it
is happening is because anti porn conservative groups that disguise
themselves as child protection groups such as The National Center on
Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) which was originally called Morality in
Media kept trying to falsely report the credit card companies as
funding on sites which only occasionally works but in reality if it
ever is anything it always is just drawings which isnt illegal, or
horny teens looking for attention rather than like little kids being
abused or something like they want people to think because their end
goal is outlawing or shutting down all pornographic content and nudity
on the internet entirely.
>>41749
You have to go after all fronts. Cut off the money supply to these
anti porn groups by finding out who funds them to know what to boycott
and protest. Then tell credit card companies bullying websites you
will never use their products or services so long as they do that.
Then you can approach the websites as well.

This isn't just about porn. Although OP's examples contain alot of
content of the sexual nature, these kinds of login walls are used even
for the most benign of things like just accessing a website.
Pinterest, for example. (and before you scream glitterboy use
something than else pinterest, and i agree, this is not what i mean.
the measure shouldn't be a thing in the first place. soykaf site or
not.) This is not an acceptable tradeoff. There is literally no reason
to make an account for anything. One can just make an account with
bogus emails and info and access the content anyway, This isn't
stopping anyone but the people that won't look up the stuff they are
being blocked off to.

More like "not tech-worthy".
Not only that, stuff's become highly limited. This is why there's a
heavy-going crackdown.
>>41753
I understand that most of the links I had provided and updated are
relating to NSFW content being blocked, but I know a lot of alt
frontends and scraper galleries archive a lot of them.
>"This is not an acceptable tradeoff."
It's true, Sage. Even social media in the long run (ie. Twitter/X)
weren't affected by login/auths and/or age restrictions before, and it
feels like we are trapped from seeing things in the current state of
play.
>>41752
If addiction with NSFW content can lead to mental health problems,
could age-gates impact mental health too?
I really like your support since you are the friendliest imageboard
community I had ever known. Not just Sage, but all of you. Thank you
very much.

I found that game was also blocked by Steam, which is wholly wrong but
imagine if you replaced all pixel NSFW graphics in FlipWitch with gore
to get the message across that NSFW content is being destroyed?
From post #39460, Taylor McCue said that Steam's age-gate algorithm
impacted her work from being visible. And there's this game. However,
if you were taking cues from Taylor McCue, I would say, "make sure
it's about NSFW content being affected on a greater level to the point
they are dying; only thing is that the game's age is a 12+..."

I wouldn't want to take advice from a self described mental and
physical wreck for life. The only advice this guy is probably
qualified to give is about how to be a not very successful gay
prostitute, and how to lousily market your gay prostitute video games.
>there are no alts for steam afaik
well it sure looks like this person's game is available elsewhere I
didn't try to buy or download it but I probably could if I want to.
He's got interviews aplenty probably with blogs with some audience,
maybe a vastly overlapping one. Its possible the market for gay
prostitution video games is just actually rather small, and people
going on steam are looking for something else. When I've gone on steam
I'm certainly looking for autistic simulator games, and must say if I
started seeing ads for 'he fuarrrked the girl out of me, a gay trans
prostitutes journey' I would probably leave the site.
Starting a soykafty website isn't hard. Maybe if you care so much
about gay tranny prostitution you should start the gay tranny
prostitute turned game dev website so that all the aspiring gay tranny
prostitutes can get their educational material easily and in one
place, without the suppression of websites built for normal people and
normal person adjacents. As far as I know such sites don't get screwed
quite the same as neonazi hate sites like the daily stormer or
kiwifarms, and lets face it the stormer and kiwifarms are both up and
running fine, even though joshua moon is a complete incompotent
(anglin though, that man can run a website).

It is actually getting really out of hand all the damage NCOSE (real

of a front they put on and they must be loaded in cash or some other

of when FOSTA SESTA passed which is part of what gave them so much

Those are false flags by AI and not the YouTube community flagging
anything cs188-related, nor cs188 self-flagging the videos. One of
them was self-flagged by himself in 2011 (which used TLoZ CDi game
cutscenes), that evidence is set in stone, but those aren't. And it's
awful.
Apart from me, had anybody found this issue too?

The image (that led up to age-restricted Steam Community Hub error) I
linked in the previous post came from an unlicensed or some other game
that's not on the Steam Store. I had archived some images on my hard
drive but I really want things to change around here, like Twitter in
both SFW and NSFW login blocks. I'd prefer it if NSFW stuff did not
require ANY authentication for better accessibility.
As Sage pointed out, although my examples contain alot of NSFW content
blocks, these kinds of login walls are used even for the most benign
of things like just accessing a website.
Imagine this:
- Viewing SFW posts without an account will result in messages that
had been preventing repos from accessing it
- Viewing NSFW posts without an account will result in messages that
had been preventing repos from recording any data
- Both can stack up their effects
When it was 2000's, login walls and age-gates weren't there in the
first place, obviously it's like all heck breaks loose for many,
including me.

It's a clip from a very old cartoon I watched decades ago, I already

awkward girl that gets sucked into her computer and then gets chased
by secret agents because she is a very important for something. And I
think it was made in Korea? Maybe China? I don't know, but I remember
needing subtitles to understand what they were saying.

>>42034
This is not a spam target of somebody else in any way possible, nor a
post done by a mobile user.
The reason I made this thread was because I had grown sick of login
blocks for corporate platforms in recent years, limiting accessibility
on the internet as guests to various options. GitHub repos are getting
affected, social media sites have been crippled, and the internet's
being torn apart, like with FOSTA SESTA/NCOSE, causing this issue to
be HUGE in my opinion. Many people had talked this through with me
within 8 months, which is tantamount to stopping this problem.
I wish for all login blocks for corporate platforms, if any, wiped
clean without the need of auth cookies, not bypassing them/filter
settings etc.
Discord acts weird for me because it thinks I got invited to a server,
so I'd rather not visit it.
I don't think you are a troll on the site but somebody that is really
valued here, but not one of those people who care about the internet's
accessibility to guests. It's a serious matter on my hands, however.

I have archived Suicide_boy24's recent screencaps regarding a TBoI mod
that was recently age-restricted by Steam, and I am fed up with this
because I care about mods and I hate, hate, HATE how stupid age
restrictions hit games/mods/etc. with a passion. The mod in question
is a NSFW graphic overhaul that the person used (affecting recharge
bars, item sprites etc.). Either it's me or I can't find it anywhere
else on Steam.
I'll give you the shorthand: Same Steam user keeps bothering me with
the same age-gate affected mod. Because soya-based tea jokes.

I'm getting really sick and tired of TBoI screenshots mentioning a
NSFW graphic overhaul mod that was recently age-restricted by Steam
when I know it should NOT have one; don't know the link for it or the
name of the mod but it's SERIOUS.
Steam had gone WAY TOO FAR; Suicide_boy24 putting their screenshots
out there is addressing my biggest complaint to Steam and wanting them
to shut down NSFW content restrictions on their site FOREVER. I'd
prefer it if NSFW stuff did not require ANY authentication for better
accessibility because I CARE about it.

It's bad, Steam is wholly wrong to hide a mod that screenshots by
Steam users had been addressing. The site's crippled like everything
else in regards to guest accessibility for specific mods and I CARE
about them, zero logins, NOTHING. Suicide_boy24 (one of the users) put
recent screenshots of their TBoI gameplay with a NSFW graphic overhaul
mod, like they were addressing my biggest complaint to Steam of "I
want
them to shut down NSFW content restrictions on their site FOREVER;
NSFW content did not require ANY authentication in the long run for
better accessibility."
There's more of this user's screenshots here from games that had been
affected one way or another:

Sage stated that

These content blocks and bans are not acceptable in anyway I would see

Tequila · 2024-10-19 05:20
Regarding >>42893 most of the quotes there come from Tumbig regarding
the whole "content blocks and bans are not acceptable in anyway I
would see fit" approach.
NSFW content did not require ANY authentication in the long run for
better accessibility, and/or social media websites - the reason why I
had grown sick of login blocks for corporate platforms in recent years
as they are limiting accessibility on the internet as guests to
various options.
GitHub repos are getting affected, social media sites have been
crippled, and the internet's being torn apart, like with FOSTA
SESTA/NCOSE, causing this issue to be HUGE in my opinion. Many people
had talked this through with me within ten months, which is tantamount
to stopping this problem from going too far. Some I'm okay with, but
Tumblr and Twitter/X are wrecked on both guest and NSFW accessibility
fronts while most of the sites had NSFW accessibility for guests gone
like Newgrounds, for example.

Most people's exposure to the internet is through apps or Chrome, with
all sites logged in, cookies on, and not a clue why any of it matters.
This is just another facet of the surveillance panopticon.

That's true, but in post #40777 I said that anonymous browsing is a
crucial element that had been affected in recent years by these
restrictions. I wish for companies to reverse these blocks and bans
for good/scrub their own blocks from the planes of existence as it's
clear it's messing around with a future of internet browsing. That
also coincides with a BBC News report on Ofcom putting social media
sites at risk in the same way.
Otherwise, Piped had been fetching auth errors:
https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/3658
To reproduce, one would need to view a video on different Piped
instances. I used piped.kavin.rocks and piped.video as an alternate to
YouTube in recent years, and now it seemed to not work anymore because
YouTube is sometimes unreachable because of forced log in testing.
Guess it fits here; had anybody come across this on YouTube, Piped and
Invidious? I'd be happy to know :)

It will only get worse, there is an insane amount of money being
invested on digital ID to ensure anonymity simply doesn't exist.
Technically, it already doesn't exist but sauron's eye has to be
looking at you already; The push is to make it universally established
from end to end and thus much easier to manage.
Nothing is more dangerous to the established power structure than
legitimate freedom of speech. They don't care about you screaming the
truth into the void or bouncing your ideas around echo chambers that
are tended by gatekeepers, but the potential for virality without
brakes is unacceptable to the owner class.
The old days of the Internet are dead and gone for better or worse.
Create a new protocol designed to fight it with some sort of killer
application to drive adoption or deal with it. Those are the choices.

Okay, I got issues with a few private/locked accounts on Twitter and

Visiting a locked account on Tumblr will give you a "login required"
message in a URL, while viewing them on Twitter gives you a "these
tweets are protected" message. For accounts that I had browsed in the
past, I feel like that isn't something that's possible; again, this is
yet another login/auth block.

The same's pretty much with pyromaniacblujay's accounts, and even
their bsky.social account is blocked from guests seeing it. This is
wrong.
Tumbig fetches error 500 when accessing said locked Tumblr account
when it's not supposed to do that, for a couple of reasons:
-possibly a 401 or 403 error should be here but not a 500 error, or
-again not letting me see their posts because they lset their account
to login-required and that is 100 per cent wrong

No, I meant
>"itch.io began hiding collections with 18+ games in 2023 and now
they've hidden the 'adult' tag for such content, but still can be
accessed"
which is unfortunate for people wanting to play or download adult-
tagged games. I found a couple of links:
- https://itch.io/t/2324276/nsfw-content-should-be-hidden-and-not-
accessible-by-default
- https://itch.io/t/2052580/nsfw-content-is-shown-by-default-in-guest-
mode
While I was taken aback by these changes I thought itch.io was
cleaning up the data from unnecessary NSFW content being clicked by
accident, and it leads to an awkward situation of "itch.io had become
a safer environment" to "if they made itch.io a better space, where's
the adult-tagged games on the platform?" Like I've seen, some games
aren't age-gated but asks for your age consents (eg. Shipwreck 64
Legacy Edition, despite it not being adult content or as I've
discussed earlier, HFTGooM from post >>41812). Double-checking Steam,
HFTGooM is age-gated (tells you to login) but Shipwreck 64 isn't. This
pattern makes games/age groups fall out of shape for some of us.
>>40695
In regards to Newgrounds, I haven't found any reports on the site's
brute-forced "login to view" messages for NSFW content via
YCombonator. I've covered login blocks for some content on Reddit,
Tumblr, and Twitter/X ad nauseum, and I want these back to the "you do
not need a an account to view/everything is free" era of the internet.

Sorry, I meant "Shipwrecked 64", and here is the Steam store page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2160220/Shipwrecked_64/
Again, while the ARG/game contains an unsettling atmosphere, and
graphic imagery, that does not make the game an 18+/adult, more like a
teen game. It's mentioned in the mature content warning of the store
page.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I found out on BBC News that "all websites on which pornographic
material can be found, including social media platforms, must
introduce "robust" age-checking techniques such as demanding photo ID
or running credit card checks for UK users by July":
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwye3qw7gv7o
Some porn sites and privacy campaigners have warned the move will be
counterproductive, saying introducing beefed-up age verification will
only push people to "darker corners" of the internet.
And then there's age verification being counterproductive to anybody
viewing NSFW content, which is now a serious issue in itself.

>"It's harder to run a big porn rig in a civilized country if it can't

I have a couple of pointers:
1. I think that would stop pushing people to darker corners of the
internet, and NSFW content is a dark web thing, but I'm biased as
privacy campaigners have warned robust age consents will be
"counterproductive".
2. This is a step in the wrong direction if, say for example, people
want to archive/scrape NSFW material, and they are blocked from even
scraping them unless they verify their age. From post >>40777 I spoke
up about anonymous browsing, a crucial element affected in recent
years by age-gates and login walls on several social media websites,
and, like I've always said, they made surfing the web becoming more
locked down and nonfunctional, wishing for companies to reverse these
blocks and bans for good/scrub their own blocks from the planes of
existence.
What's your opinion on any of these? It's pushing us further and
further away from accessing some content online in recent years but I
think this robust checking is way too far.

Cloudflare rolled out stricter browser integrity checks in the recent
months and my old script to login and post stuff just stopped working.
I couldn't be bothered to rewrite it.
It continued to work with the old session, but any new ones got
blocked.

This had been trending a lot on the internet lately, but if you're
looking for an alternative to TikTok, I recommend YouTube Shorts until
something changes with this whole ban on TikTok in the news. And, to
think of it, it's possibly a bug in the software.
You don't need an APK, since it's already on your device. YouTube
Shorts is pretty much like TikTok, as some accounts/videos can be
found on both sites, like the Linda Shad/Voidpet accounts.
>>43937
To quote-on-quote "says they're against censorship", I'm in between
the hazy lines of "censorship is good" to "where can scraping be
possible if the internet has heavy censorship?".
>>43941
Cloudflare would loop their browser integrity checks on my end for
some sites, but Cloudflare checks are good on my tablet when I used
TwitchTracker's search to browse.

first of all we should be generally against porn in general, work to
limit the reach and profitability of the porn industry is conductive
to that goal. I do not think that one step will eliminate the porn
industry, and I suppose I would be doubtful that all porn will ever go
away, but it can be far more marginal than it is now, and it can be
far more inaccessible than it is now. Driving it off the mainstream
internet is a good step.
Aesthetically I very much dislike websites that ask for identification
much as I dislike stores which ask for identification when buying
products, but people seem to have accepted the idea that one must
present ID to buy alcohol or firearms and slopes being slippery I can
hardly think of an argument for why porn should be given less
restriction than these.
It may make a websurf less free and easy, but again slopes being what
they are this is a trivial step. You already have twitter and facebook
and youtube videos with embedded links and private videos and many
many things that impede the open web, its reasonable to oppose this on
those grounds but it should hardly be a priority imho.

>You don't need an APK, since it's already on your device
youtube is not on my device already, t.y.v.m.
unless you're talking about tiktok -
i figured out how to access during the ban and it was generally
recommended to use the APK from apkpure. the reason why a separate apk
is a good idea is because of tracking from apps downloaded from the
play store. also, to get it to work, i had to create a new play store
account through the VPN and with location spoofed to another country -
apparently it also uses your sim card to geofence you.
I'm honestly disappointed none of you seemed to get it. I wanted to
use tiktok the other day simply because I wasn't allowed to.
its back now, but with even worse censorship. so naturally I am no
longer interested. although i suppose spoofing my account to europe or
something might be slightly interesting, since some of the censored
content is unrestricted there.

Well it was just a recommendation I thought of after alternatives like
YouTube Shorts works akin to TikTok. You don't need an APK for
YouTube, since you can enable it on your device. However, you replied
that "Youtube isn't on [your] device" - is this because you disabled
the app, or uninstalled it via Google Play Store at some point?
Going onto a different topic:
https://staff.tumblr.com/post/180758987165/a-better-more-positive-
tumblr
This whole thing is not better or more positive in any way because
"the issue is with the bots, not the blogs".
https://www.change.org/p/the-tumblr-staff-tumblr-s-ban-on-all-nsfw-
content-is-not-okay
For me, the issue is also to do with Safe Mode that Tumblr ditched in
favour of this ban, which affected several posts (like
ibgarry.tumblr/post/119627013524/hi-there-this-is-a-callout-post-
trigger-warnings) and affected ALL NSFW blogs, and like all the other
sites, this is highly and massively unfair, like logins to view
searches.
Speaking of which, Tumblr gave me this... weird error in 2016.

I appreciate the sentiment, but its truly not the same and came off as
a bit patronizing.
i know that tiktok is seen as slop to many but given how many
iterations of the concept have cropped up over the years its existence
seems natural, and i think it (and vine) could have been and honestly
were a genuine place for creative expression if not for censorship and
politics. iirc vine was shut down because its vinetubers got sick of
increasing shareholder value for free and were trying to get terms and
conditions changed to be more respecting of their digital rights so
they unionized, the owner Twitter, Inc. chose to sunset the service
instead of meeting them. union should have won tbqh.
>This whole thing is not better or more positive in any way
its kind of wild how this whole drama is a result of tumblr current
owner photomatt got mad about people criticizing him, iirc X added a
policy for similar reasons recently. it takes me back to phpBB and
livejournal drama except with way higher stakes and money. fitting in
a way, tumblr was always seen as the spiritual successor to
livejournal.
>The redirect gave me a blank page with a box to type a password in;

password protection is a setting tumblr users can set themselves, its
still implemented and im not sure if staff can force it but I can see
it being a thing users do if their blog becomes restricted. honestly
its a good privacy feature, tumblr generally has a better track record
with protecting user privacy, now if only they didn't have so much
censorship

Update: https://www.tumbig.com/blog/pyromaniacblujay is back online,
but at the very least:
- I've been committed to archiving her work
- she's now one of IncendiaryOCT's Patreon subcribers
However, I've been browsing it to ask a couple of questions. When did
this all start? How long did pyromaniacblujay leave her accounts
restricted to logged-in users for? I think her Tumblr lasted the
longest to her Twitter/X account, if you look at the date for post
>>43641
She also said:
>"the one significant thing I think Twitter has over Tumblr is the way
they do private accounts and I REALLY REALLY wish Tumblr had something
like that. there is stuff I wanna ramble about and WIPs I want to post
privately..."
Also, for post >>43470 I had been saving images from pyromaniacblujay
via other accounts, so this makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much!
I certainly want to know, without the use of modifying codes and

for NSFW content. Likewise, there needs to be a way to curb this
without auth.

yeah it sounds like the underfell blog was made private like that by
the creators for archival purposes due to drama. many such cases.
i feel like you're avoiding the question, though. people are allowed
to lock their blogs, they should always have the right to go private
and you'd be hard pressed to find people who agree that you should be
able to see anyone who wants their content to remain private.
>I certainly want to know, without the use of modifying codes and
command scripts, when social media should stop hampering us with
login/auth blocks - not just for in the long run, but also age gates
for NSFW content. Likewise, there needs to be a way to curb this
without auth.
removing nsfw gates is a slightly more reasonable demand as they cause
friction and don't actually stop kids from accessing, plus if they
became legally enforced then it would be a digital rights nightmare
and everyone would fight against it.
the thing is, even 4chan gives you a warrant disclaimer when you first
access the page asking if you're over 18 for legal liability purposes
so i think you'd have to find the specific laws that say websites have
to add frictional pop-ups otherwise are liable for exposure of
children to porn, gambling or drinking (lol), although chances are
theres some concerned mothers for liberty type interest group that
considers it their pet legislation, this doesnt make it unstoppable.
or i guess an alternative is a court case arguing that putting "NSFW"
on the page without fuarrrking up people like >>43941 who have
legitimate uses is a sufficient warning. cloudflare is an obvious
scourge but i feel like their issues at this point involve
enshittification due to monopoly status removing the mandate of a
quality service.
>most of these are related to problems with NCOSE and FOSTA SESTA
okay so you've identified the laws in question, what groups are
fighting against them? how do you rehabilitate sentiment into
seriously campaigning against them? the EFF is the foremost digital-
rights focused group and they have their hands completely full and
have been for a while, i would be against subverting another
organization to push this agenda through. there might be smaller
digital freedom law organizations but it seems like the disconnect is
between people like us and the levers of power that might guarantee
our digital freedom. building services to help users bypass of these
might be a more anarchy solution but it lacks teeth and would probably
not be a good look on anyone developing it, if you don't want to do
lobbying or activism then what are your other options?
