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.'

That's such a naive view to be honest. Instead of banning the use of addictive gaslighting algorithms by the large corpos and forcing them to moderate effectively, we are choosing to do damage by excluding young people from sometimes the last safe spaces they have, creating a huge attack surface for hackers, and giving governments a tool for mass surveillance and censorship. NOTHING about this legislation is a good idea. It's catastrophically dystopian.
