All that Freedom in Texas, huh? Now show ID to check your facebook, grandma.
Bit of a misconception. Texas is free but the freedom only applies to corporations. Freedom to pollute our air and consume all our water. Freedom to scam consumers. Freedom to indoctrinate our children. Freedom to take our tax dollars, etc.

Just a reminder this is coming to the entire US if you don’t call and demand your Senators block it, as just this week the House passed the KIDS Act.
The Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act (H.R. 7757) is a bipartisan legislative package passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on June 29, 2026, designed to protect minors online through age verification, parental controls, and platform accountability.
I will do my best JelloBrains, but it’s getting difficult to speak the AI voicemail assistant as the senators boot is pressing harder and harder on my neck.
Bluesky asked me to enter my age (not upload any ID or anything) when I opened a notification. I said hell no and closed the entire app.
It hasn’t asked me since. Does that mean I’m on the Kids’ Experience™?
I’m based in Europe.
Lol
@removed@piefed.social will you verify my age?
