It is extremely difficult for me to care about the fate of private schools. In my opinion, they shouldn't exist. If the rich are forced to send their children to the same schools as everyone else, maybe they'll pressure the government to improve said schools.
I think "over-18" posts on X within the feed are hidden behind a "please verify your age" button if you've not verified your age (in UK and parts of EU, probably Australia too). They're intermixed with non-hidden posts.
X lets post authors mark their content as NSFW, and I'd assume they're doing some sort of algorithmic checking or making use of user reports of content to classify content too, to varying degrees of success. It's definitely subject to the whims of the platform owner, given the sheer amount of racism, sexism, and porn that isn't marked.
My account is >18 years old so it never showed up for me (it just used the account age to determine I'm old enough), so I'm going by what others have said.
I've just been implementing a bunch of URL-related utility functions in Go. Decided the most pragmatic solution of handling IPv6 addresses in URL hosts is to outright reject zone identifiers because of the ambiguity in how to parse / serialize them, and the inconsistent ways others have done it (or most of the time, not done it).
RFC 3986 says "This syntax does not support IPv6 scoped addressing zone identifiers." Makes sense because '%' is a reserved character for percent encoding (hence the %25 that Go's net/url expects).
The URL Standard explicitly states "Support for <zone_id> is intentionally omitted."
All it takes is one determined journalist running experiments, or one whistleblower inside the company exposing these systems.
Plus, you'd have to offer this service somehow, meaning you'd have to describe it to potential customers... just another bunch of people you'd have to swear to perpetual secrecy.
I'm not denying it could (or even will) happen, though. Anything for a buck for these companies.
I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some sort of legal action against Google, the monopoly, to make the distinction in how their crawlers use scraped content.
That's almost certainly illegal in many jurisdictions, and they'd definitely not be able to hide that they're doing it indefinitely. A sure way to be massively sued.

Rich people can build all the fortified bunkers they want, but they still need to get their food, water, and air from somewhere. It would be very easy to cut them off or smoke them out.
(I'm not advocating for violence in any way, I'm just pointing out that nobody's invincible, no matter how obscenely wealthy they are).
You mean peaceful protesting. There are other kinds of protesting that may have better success.
