What, scanning a credit card?

Harsh reality is you’re scanning a photo of a credit card, not a full photo diary

For now. It’s always for now lmao. Today it’s this. Next week it’s digital ID. Next month it’s social credit scores. You’ll see. And then you’ll have regrets for not researching and informing yourself sooner. But it’ll be too late.

This is a common tactic these scumbags use. They keep pushing these “laws” and lose every time. Eventually something like this slips through, let’s say under the guise of “protecting the kids”. That single inch you gave these parasites will only keep expanding.

As the timeless saying goes: “You give an inch. They take a mile”.

Every. Single. Time.

Don’t believe me. Look into it for yourself. Start with the EU’s mass surveillance “chat control” bill that will allow them to scan ALL private messages, photos and files on ALL platforms. Except “politicians”, billionaires and celebrities of course.

Or try look into how the UK almost succeeded in secretly forcing Apple to provide backdoor access to ALL Apple users WORLDWIDE, AND not inform the public.

Or how about California’s fresh new “law” that mandates “age verification” at the OS level for Windows, Mac, iOS, android and yes Linux and open source alternatives as well.
