Age verification isn't about safety — it's about data harvesting.

Meta spent $26.2m lobbying for these laws. Not to protect kids. To fuel a $200bn ad business that depends on knowing exactly who you are.

California now forces every OS — including Linux — to verify ages.

Australia's under-16 ban was bypassed from day one.

Privacy is a human right, not a bargaining chip. What do you think?

Microsoft has rebranded Office into "Microsoft 365 Copilot" and now forces your documents through its AI — processing confidential business data on US-controlled infrastructure. A major law firm is already preparing to sue over AI training data practices.
