Ad| New age verification laws are moving fast, and most people have no idea. Some states already require age verification to use social media.

Here’s what’s actually happening, who it affects, and what you can do. @efforg #effpartner #onlineprivacy #dataprivacy #ageverification #digitalrights

Cities now have one more reason to follow the lead of many other municipalities and cancel their Flock contracts, before this new feature causes civil liberties harms to residents and headaches for cities.

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨
The California Assembly is fast-tracking A.B. 1709, a bill that would ban everyone under 16 from social media. This censorship scheme threatens your data privacy, ignores the First Amendment, and wastes taxpayer money during a massive budget deficit. And, by overriding the judgment of parents, the California Legislature is trying to take parenting away from families and replace it with an overbroad ban and a costly (and shady) new government commission. Tell your representatives to vote NO on A.B. 1709 at the link in our bio.

New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget currently includes provisions that will require all CNC machines, including all 3D printers, sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for forbidden designs. This is unfeasible and stifles competition, free expression, and privacy. The vote on the state budget could happen THIS WEEK, so New Yorkers need to act fast and demand that their Assemblymembers and Senators strip this provision from the budget. Take action at the link in our bio.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
