Petition: Do not require age verification for all user-user services

The government is consulting on children’s use of social media and how age verification and age assurance technologies could help implement a potential age restriction on some platforms. We call on the Government not to require age assurance technologies on all user-user services.

Mostly just a delay in it getting approved, it was submitted ~1.5 months ago.
@Oelnbod @openrightsgroup @neil Wow that’s quite the delay! And the rate the Government is moving there will be the next reactionary ban being proposed before this is even considered.

@Oelnbod @openrightsgroup @JamesBaker

I am curious about the timing of this, given the ongoing consultation.

What was the thinking around a petition now?

@Oelnbod @openrightsgroup @neil It’s all internet services they are talking about as well now! An even wider definition than user-to-user services https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/59-01/0414/amend/children_rm_cclm_0410.pdf

This is happening all over the world, the UK government don't have the power to stop it. Look what happened with previous petition against the Online Safety Act; petition got over 500,000 signatures, enough to trigger a debate in parliament...

@Nibor4000 @Oelnbod @openrightsgroup @neil Does seem like some global elites got together at Davos and decided this for everyone
