It is for parents to raise their children. Not platforms.
The European Age Verification App is ready.
It will allow users to prove their age when accessing online platforms. Just like shops ask for proof of age for people buying alcoholic beverages.
And it ticks all the boxes:
✅ Highest privacy standards in the world
✅ Works on any device
✅ Easy to use
✅ Fully open source

You don't read the room here, don't you?
Please just look for the hashtag #ageverification and educate yourself why this is not a good idea.
On the contrary. This account is labeled "EUCommission", not "EUCommission PR" or similar.
And even if it were: There is no reason at all why governmental propaganda outlets should be treated like good friends that we just love to have around.
They're not: their agenda is propaganda, including the packaging of even the most outrageous plans, decisions and laws into a language designed to normalize them.
They're part of the system, not our friends that we comfortingly put our arms around.
