The horror of Age Verification is
arriving in Canada 🚨🇨🇦

Contact your federal MP and the office of the Prime Minister this week to tell them you strongly oppose the privacy-destroying and inefficient measure.

The time to push back is NOW: https://globalnews.ca/news/11797286/liberal-party-adopts-motion-social-media-ban-kids/

'Prime Minister Mark Carney said last month that the idea “merits an open and considered debate in Canada,” although he does not have a settled view on it yet and said there were good points on both sides.'

Share educational resources with them on the dangers of Age Verification: https://www.eff.org/age

We do NOT want this nightmare in Canada. Fight back for your privacy rights! ✊🔒

@Em0nM4stodon Don't these kids have parents? Shouldn't their parents be keeping them safe on the internet? Would these same people let their kids loose in a large city to roam all day and night without supervision?

Many do. When I worked in the police, 90% of my job was babysitting kids who were messingnabout on the street.

It's not about the kids, it's about tracking every adult on the internet.

@SnowyCA @Em0nM4stodon you don't think pedophiles will find a way to use this to their advantage?

Pardon me? Elaboration is needed.

edit: Children are at more risk from sexual predators when they are at home, than while online.

@SnowyCA @Em0nM4stodon OK. Pedo dev creates seemingly safe garbage app that has malware in it. Google et al let it into an app store because they do it 1000's of times a day. Pedo dev only activates malware on devices reporting to be used by kids.

So not only is is bad for everyone, it does nothing to protect kids. I believe there is a group using this as a long con to hurt children.

Also they are at more risk at church than at home or online.

Alpha Male Martha Stewart 🍉🌈 These maassive, highly profitable companies should also be doing their part in actually moderating their platforms, or they should no longer have platforms.

Moderated social media on smaller websites is what many of us grew up with, and it is manageable. Facebook, Twitter and Reddit just don’t want to do the job, so they shouldn’t have the privilege of hosting such platforms. This is just an attempt to shielld them from their responsibilities to their users.

@kichae I almost missed this toot because I have all mentions of twitter filtered as "possible child porn" because it is the largest child porn creation and dissemination website on the planet.

That being said, This is absolutely one head of the hydra that is working to ruin the web, democracy, the environment, etm

Sites that were run by people not corps were safer, and more fun.But you know know capitalism or something.

@fiend_unpleasant @Em0nM4stodon Part of the "fun" facts: Some of those kids have abusive parents and the social media networks are part of the resources they use to cope or to obtain help.

It's worth remembering that the majority of child abuse, sexual or not, happens in the family or other close acquaintances.

> Would these same people let their kids loose in a large city to roam all day and night without supervision?

In many cases that would actually be safer for the kid.
