๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ European Citizen's Initiative against ID age verification onlineJust yesterday, Stop Killing the Internet, from the people at @StopKillingGames, launched an ECI against ID age verification! This is great but it needs 1 million signatures !So, if you live in #europe, please sign it! If you don't, or even if you do, still share it around so more people know about it and can sign it!eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/#/Reaching the signature threshold will not mean that ID age verification will immediately become illegal, but the subject will be brought to the @EUCommission and they'll have to do SOMETHING about it. This is already a huge step in the right direction!:boost_requested: Please boost and share this post to spread the word! Thank you!@privacy #stopkillingtheinternet #ageverification #privacy

@helloyanis @StopKillingGames @EUCommission @privacy I'll say what I said under many other posts. The initiative is NOT against age verification mechanism on the Internet. It only claims to be in the slogan, the annex gives EU government pat on the back on their existing work towards EU ID wallet based verification. In all actuality it might actually do more harm than good.

    They want the age verification to be anonymous, no? No personal data other than "yes, I'm 18+". Or did.I miss something?

    Something somewhere will have to check your actual ID. There are no magical miracles. I certainly don't trust gov IT infrastructure. It's a convoluted patchwork built over the years with varying degrees of incompetence and corruption.

    Sadly, I want to sign a "No verification whatsoever, fuck off with your shit, you don't fool me" not a "p-p-p-please atleast pretend to make it less distopian"

    @helloyanis @StopKillingGames @EUCommission @privacy Looks like if you're a resident in Europe, but not naturalised, you're shit out of luck.
