This initiative is just a smokescreen; it actually pushes things down the slippery slope.

Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law. The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof-of-age, data minimisation, selective disclosure

Define "necessary". Define "by law". The pushers for proof-of-age already say it's anonymous – but it can't be.

    Lol, legit counter-privacy campaign.
    If you're not arming yourselves and physically demanding pro-privacy internet, you're performing counter-privacy.

    Cloudflare says recent statistics indicate about 57% of internet traffic is already non human. The thing is, the internet was sold and operates on the ecomonic model of advertising to humans. If humans become a declining portion of the internet, who will pay for advertising? Something else will emerge. Who knows what that will be. But lobbying to eliminate digital IDs so a diminishing number if humans stay anonymous seems like a waste of time.
