I may need a tinfoil hat, but needing a biometric token to sign in is an excellent way of tracking your online activities. Once that token is linked to a device. They're going to know everything about your online habits. Not just whatever website the token works for.

World wide web will be gone in a few years. Governments around the world want a monopoly on propagandizing their subjects.

"For the children" is the apologia for installing the required technologies.

As are those of Pasifika, rainbow and disabled young people — communities where online spaces are not just distractions or dangers, but sometimes lifelines.

This article is mostly quite sane, but is 'rainbow' new term for LGBT+ people now?

Yes. "Rainbow Community" or "Rainbow Communities" has been used since the early 00s. If you want to use the term then using the plural "Rainbow Communities" is preferred as an acknowledgement of the diversity within the cohort.

I thought "rainbow communities" was a long-standing term?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 month ago

Its commonly used from what I see.
