Is there a petition against the online age verification law? I’d very much like to fight against it as much as I can

  1. Basically I think it is a terrible idea that only leads to more surveillance. Protecting kids should be the parents responsibility. Why should I as an adult give my information to sites that can’t even hold a simple password. Why lose anonymity? This sounds really “dictatory” in my opinion. On the pretence of protecting kids, they take away our freedom slightly. I don’t want that

  2. From the UK please block this because we need your VPN locations to bypass our own stupid law.

  3. As someone from the UK where this type of law has just hit. Fight back hard. It’s stupid, doesn’t fix anything and will just make things worse.

  4. Give your identity to some platform. Data breach or leak makes your identity accessible to criminals forever.

  5. You absolutely need to be making it clear to your MEPs that this law is unacceptable. The amount of shit being blocked in the UK and the amount of small-to-medium sized communities being killed off by the insane law we passed in the UK is absurd.

  6. I lost faith long time ago that governments represent people. Nobody sane wants this, nobody!

  7. You probably can’t, the government wants to impose strict surveillance upon you, the best you can do is buy a VPN and suddenly become Albanian🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

  8. Suddenly a whole lot of connections start originating from Albania.

  9. The censorship started. Taking away freedom one bit at the time.

  10. Do not let this happen under any circumstances. We have this in the UK now, and the whole thing is a giant shitshow.

  11. TOR going to be a main stream thing soon.

    Do we really need to point our kids to that can of worms?

  12. Age verification on what? Porn sites? That is useless. 

    The real damage to kids is done by social media.

  13. I’ll just send a photo of my passport to all these sites. What could go wrong?…

  15. Next up, Russia’s internet traffic is made up from 80% VPNs from Europe.

  16. Now if only the gamers could be as enthusiastic to sign a petition to block this as they were with their games that would be really lovely.

  18. Next they are gonna use social security numbers usb sticks as authentifier when you browse the web so they know who and when and what you were browsing.

  19. Lol I’ll just go to platforms that don’t give a flying fuck about EU – and there are plenty.

    You know how the platforms that are targeted by those retards have strict rules, content moderation etc? Well, shadow platforms don’t have that, congratulations

  20. Every year they try to take a little more from our freedom.

  22. Whats worse is that the Android version must run on a Google Licensed Android version, meaning we don’t have a choice of OS. How are we to get less dependant on the US if the EU is forcing us to use Google’s services?

  23. Its not for safety, its to tske every bit of data they can to give to the highest bidder

  25. And of course, it’s “for the good of the children.” Pfft, I’d tell you what should be done with people who make such proposals despite their repeated rejection and people’s outrage, but I have a feeling that if I did that, the mods would ban me.

  26. there are a thousand reasons why that is a terrible idea

  27. Iny county YouTube tride doing this but it was technickly illeg becos in czech republick only govementrl officals can demand any govement issuded idintificational document… Atlest in theory.

  29. Kids everywhere are gambling online on platforms that require age verification despite being underage because there’s a bunch of ways around it. Shit like this only creates a hassle and a huge possible risk for everyone else.

  31. Ok so the whole continent is doing this now, great, brilliant move

  32. I’m starting to suspect this law is only there as a Trojan horse to start new procedures to force internet users to identify with their national ID and lose anonimity from there on.

  33. Okay. I am from the EU. What to do? Can we get another side like “Stop killing Games” just called differently… Like “Stop leaking our Identity”? Or so…

  34. I’ve read it and what I don’t understand is the following:

    “proof of age does not contain any ID information to trace the user. After receiving proof the link between the user and the proof provided is cut and no data flows.”

    what does “cut” entail? does it get erased? is it kept?

    I want a clear explanation.

  35. EU still has kind of voting. Petitions don’t work. Vote for pirate party or closest alternative you have.

  36. An app in the US just had a massive leak of drivers licenses because of an attack, and they want us to share that stuff on sevral websites to access content? Jokes write themselves.

  37. Children should be monitored by their PARENTS. This law is creepy & massively invasive.

  39. Dead of Internet. I won’t use any age verification app.

  40. Make your local representative afraid of you. This is the only way.
