Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point.
It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship.
It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy.
It must not be accommodated.
It must be stopped.

We need to push much harder against
Age Verification laws and law proposals.
Contact your local representatives NOW to tell them you firmly oppose these privacy-destroying laws that will harm democracy and civil liberties in unprecedented ways.

For anyone who would like to read/share some supporting material on the issue of age verification, I wrote this article about it back in May 2025: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/05/06/age-verification-wants-your-face/
The @eff also has this excellent resource with many helpful articles on the topic here: https://www.eff.org/issues/age-verification
Age verification laws forcing platforms to restrict access to content online have been multiplying in recent years. The problem is, implementing such measure necessarily requires identifying each user accessing this content, one way or another. This is bad news for your privacy.

The United Kingdom is escalating its censorship and mass surveillance. When Mullvad tried to criticise this with the TV ad “And Then?”, it was banned on British television.
