The horror of Age Verification is
arriving in Canada πŸš¨πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

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 β€œmerits 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.'

We do NOT want this nightmare in Canada. Fight back for your privacy rights! βœŠπŸ”’

Liberal party adopts motion to ban kids under 16 from social media

Federal Liberals voted in favour of setting 16 as the age of majority for Canadians to be able to use social media accounts.

@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?

@fiend_unpleasant @Em0nM4stodon

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?

@fiend_unpleasant @Em0nM4stodon

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.
