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.'

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

@mHtt @Em0nM4stodon Probably would be difficult to enforce the ban in a meaningful way, as a practical solution:
* introduce mandatory independent moderation, with rates and penalties increasing with the size of the platform (goal: force decentralization and therefore reduce the reach, and as a result make attention harvesting less effective)
* ban surveillance advertising (might be doable, seeing that the industry blatantly violates every privacy legislation, including GDPR).

Sure also, when a database is queried,: only return the exact string with no 'suggestions'. in fact no suggestions ever at all.
