Full title: EU’s new social media child protection rules to require all social media accounts to produce state ID - Leaked documents suggest that some existing accounts will also be subject to identification checks


People are morons. Here we have an open source and anonymous framework for age-verifcation (free for anyone to read and check the source code: https://ageverification.dev/) developed by a people’s institution and people lump it into the same boat as some private USA company photocopying your ID.
That’s always a fun 3 fingers to double check on. May reveal some insidious “not even wrong” fallacy that’s not easy to see when too close to it, immersed in it.
People can be morons, but at least they’re not authority cocksuckers!
