Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

This sentence is a mess.

The Nazi part wasn’t formed until the 1920s.

South Africa was run by the British in the early 20th century. The Afrikaners were at this point, completely disenfranchised after the Boer War.

It wasn’t until the 1940s under the National party (yes, there were named after the German National party !). that the Afrikaners and English began to share power.

BTW, the apartheid system was designed with the help of an Indian lawyer you may have heard of - Mahatma Ghandi.

If you get your YT account banned, and that happens all the time becasue the bots are going nuts, you will lose gmail as well.

1. Uploading ID to site.

2. face scanning and continual monitoring, so if a person comes into view they must face scan. Under the law, its prohibited for children to watch prohibited sites even with their parents.

4chan is not excluded.

The Communication minister can extend the requirement to any internet site at any time without parliamentary approval.

Read it again.

What it actually says is that SM sites can collect personal ID, but must provide an alternative.

Identification would need to be handled by a 3rd party to even remotely work. Then they pass on the “yes they’re over 16” tick to the social media platform, with no actual identity details.

The legislatiion specifically allows SM sites to handle ID.

I don’t see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :

1. Uploading ID to the website.

2. 3D face scanning. This will include continual monitoring so if another person comes into view they will have to face scan in. Remember, its prohibited for chidren to even watch prohibited content with their parents.

The law does not require users to upload government IDs as part of the verification process.

No, it merely requires the sites to provide an alternative, such as face scanning using a mobile phone unlock. Using a computer ? Then you’ll have hand over your ID.

The law also explicitly gives sites the right to onsell private information if its outlined in the terms of agrrement.

The Camry is imported from Japan. And the Rav4 from Canada.

Second, You could easily use a fake ID or fake identity to get a cellphone

You don’t actually need any ID in the US to set up a phone account. You could be anyone.

Prepaid phones don’t need an ID.

Arrests for illegal crossings from Canada spiked in the last fiscal year, but remain a fraction of the number of those from Mexico.

I don;t get it, surely its the US thats responsible for border crossings with Canada ? Its not like they’re trekking across the mountains like the Von Trapps.

its a good thing the US isn’t dependent on Canadian electricity or gas…

It will affect Canada a lot more.

Even with 25% tariffs, it will still be cheaper to make in Mexico. And they will no longer have to pay the workers the same as the US, as they do under USMC.

Look at the any post about Israel or trans.

The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post might get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.

A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, they now get well under 500.

With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.

BTW, almost all the bots on reddit are produced by the moderators of that subreddit.

I’m not sure about the touch displays on cars.

How long does a Chinese tablet last, 10, 12 years ? If you keep it safely stored and don’t drop it.

The things in cars seem to be even cheaper, they only use phone uPs designed to last no more than a few years. And they’re roasted in hot weather, frozen and shaken to bits.

Good luck finding one of them in a few years, assuming they can be taken out at all without ripping up the dash.
