The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.

Some politicians have already stated this plainly.

This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.

This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.

This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.

This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.

This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.

Do not let them do this to us.

This is why I advocate for #CyberRiot and sabotage to show them that we control the computer and will take power back from them. Action must start now or we will be fighting from the back foot, again.
@RadicalEcologist @Em0nM4stodon No server or app should be able to comply with age/identity verification without being hacked and knocked off the Internet.
@LukefromDC
We only need to start with developer participation in a #CyberRiot and supporters applying pressure on them to do so. The entire world runs on #FOSS projects held together by core teams of a handful of people. We can begin the fight from the core outwards this time because we already control that space.
