Eliminating online privacy has always been framed as “protecting children” and it’s always been 100% about surveillance

This will just push the actual criminals further underground, while everyone else gets spied on. lose-lose.

Honestly? State ID is better than the current solution which is giving Thiel-affiliated companies photo and other data. Ideally I’d rather have a governments provided digital ID that’s more secure and just gives the company limited metadata instead of full ID info provided from gov’t to company. Put in rules requiring warrants or subpoenas for lookups.

That stuff would 100% get leaked and ruin many lives. Hell it would ruin lives even if only authorized authorities have access to it because some perverted cops or politicians will abuse it to stalk women and children. They‘re already doing it but getting a live feed of someone’s online activity by typing in a single number makes it so much more convenient for bad actors. And it would also get leaked on top of it.

Can they just stop pretending these laws are not about eroding privacy and be honest for ounce.

My freedom shouldn’t be implied cause some parent can’t use a parental control which is already mandatory in the eu. Your kids isn’t my responsability. It s unreal that the “free world” want my id simply to go online. Also same shit as rgpd. Only bigger website and corporation can afford putting million toward implementing thoses policiesbwhile all other won’t bother and just cut acces to be in compliance.

Ironically, kids might still get around the new restriction by using a virtual private network (VPN) connection, which virtually positions the computer in another country, at the time of signing up. This is just going to be one long pointless game of whackamole and as effective as Prohibition was in the US.
