  2. If they follow the protype and build an anonymous age check process like there is in some European countries for a very long time, I think that’s a reasonable approach.

  3. The age checks aren’t to protect kids. As the article states, there are laws already made for that, which sanitised social media, and there’s already parental guidance and controls pre-installed on devices. Children are just an excuse to make us give away our identity to access any information. Why would the UK battle Wikipedia if not to censor and make the editors lose their precious anonymity? Plus, not everyone is the same, some kids should be held back from certain things, while others can be trusted by their parents. I could watch all sorts of action movies as a kindergartener without taking away any bad behaviour from there, meanwhile my nephew acted out all the moves he saw wrestlers do (thankfully, he never got hurt).

    Also, let’s not forget that Belgium banned Tom & Jerry due to “violence” and Germany had all sorts of cartoons and anime heavily censored (floating Zabuza because his huge sword was erased from existence).

  5. Once again Denmark with the retarded bullshit – what’s up with that country recently?! They’re out to lead the EU on a speedrun to ruin itself.

  6. I guess VPNs are about to become even more mandatory?

  7. Go after fucked-up social media, not porn. Entire Polish Facebook is an anti-Ukrainian sewer, yeah as Russia wages a hybrid war against us and Ukrainians very bravely fight for their own country, that’s exactly the message we need. There are pages posting the current weather on Facebook in Polish and the comments are all anti-Ukrainian lol. It’s an information war and we’re losing it.

    That is madness. Twitter is a fucking far-right madness. Leave porn alone lol, go after the real problems.

  8. It baffles me that in an age of rising economic issues, climate change, and a war on Europe’s borders – the leaders of the EU nations are more focused on destroying the privacy of the internet.

  9. If they can come up with a way of proving your age without showing your id i’m all in with them… until then, fuck this bullshit

  12. We should never have allowed boomers to find out about the internet. They must destroy absolutely everything that was good.

  13. Genuinely, who’s benefiting from this. Voters don’t want it, it doesn’t work, it’s a security nightmare. Who’s profiting? Surely NordVPN are not secret Illuminati

  14. You laughed at us, now you will suffer with us. It’s like we never left lol.

    In all honesty tho, I really do prefer the EU age verification method rather than the UK. EU method includes verifying ur age to an EU backed digital platform, that will then tell websites “18+” or “13+” or anything, doesn’t send any extra information.

    If the data gets stolen, all hackers will be able to see is whether you meet a certain age or not. I actually trust the EU to delete data rather than private companies, which they don’t evident by the discord leak

  16. Why the fuck is this a thing. The web should not be childproofed because some parents cant control their Child.

  19. Do we have anymore information on what this declaration means?

  21. So how exactly is this going to work with the GDPR?

  22. Depending on how it plays out ill be forced to vote for the pro-russian populist anti-eu party here. Good job EU , fuck you

  23. Slowly chiseling away at rights and freedoms while doing everything in their power to monitor your every click

  25. Another excuse for unelected bureaucrats to control independent democracies

  26. Yay, love giving my government ID to a private companies! This surely cannot go wrong.

  27. Bruh, Norway was my exit strategy if these insane laws became common in Sweden.

    Didn’t they see the discord leak the other day?? Like pushing for this isn’t going to do shit.

  28. Isnt this law already there?

    I mean if im at youtube and click at 18+ youtube video they want my ID and my picture of face, same with x/twitter cant look at my fave hentai artists anymore.
