@PurpCat@Hoss@RustyCrab@bot@sickburnbro tbh I can't really bring myself to give a fuck about coomers on porn sites but for normal social media, yes this means that even if you trust the government not to harass you for your political opinions, a data leak will result in you being totally doxed and not just your throwaway email being exposed.
@bot@RustyCrab@sickburnbro@Hoss For porn websites sure whatever, but they want this for all social media and yes it is unclear what does and doesn't constitute social media.
@bot@Hoss@RustyCrab@sickburnbro btw the left wing counter to this is "noooooo kids simply sneed twitter" - no one is pointing out the obvious which is that this will be abused to legally harass adults for saying no-no words online because nobody fucking cares. Only I care, very sad.
@Hoss@sickburnbro this is why I take issue with people that saw taking the vaccine as some kind of "betrayal of the cause" and not a reality of the human rights violation that it was, especially in Australia. Like sure, someone like me with no dependents and a stable living situation (at the time) could weather it out fine but if I had a family it would have been a very different story.
@RustyCrab@Hoss@sickburnbro Wrong choice of words on my part - I'm fine but I'm no longer in a position where I can "comfortably" sit on my ass for over a year and earn no money because of vaccine restrictions.
@RustyCrab@Hoss@sickburnbro It's definitely over now but the vaccine requirement stuck around for a long time. To be fair, I think some of these were imposed by organizations and businesses and not strictly the government. There were important things I still couldn't attend in late 2022 because I was unvaccinated, despite lockdowns being over. Vaccine requirements for health workers were only scrapped in 2023, at least in WA - I'm not sure about other states.
@RustyCrab@Hoss@sickburnbro When vaccine requirements were still in place for restaurants, I went out with friends to this cafe where everyone was eating outside anyway. I figured I could get away with it maybe since we weren't dining in, we were just going to pick up the food and leave, but the cashier btfo'd me and it was a bit awkward because none of my friends knew I wasn't vaccinated. Felt like I was black or something.
@RustyCrab@Hoss@sickburnbro The only person I knew that didn't take the vaccine here was this middle-aged aspie that owned his own business and decided to info-dump about it on me at random. Albeit I very much kept my vaccine status to myself and didn't talk about it at all if I could help it. The predominant opinion from family and friends was that you should take the vaccine.
@Hoss@RustyCrab@sickburnbro I'm not sure if they had this in the US but there was also this government app most people had installed that tracked your location so they could measure the spread of the virus or whatever, I think this was also required for work in certain places. My dad got really mad at me and told me I was killing people because I refused to install it. It's kind of funny in retrospect. You had to write down your contact details at every store you entered if you didn't install it.
