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?

@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.
