🚨Age verification seems to be unstoppable. 🚨

Following the Australian precedence, Greece & Brazil now also passed laws that will require age checks for social media.🇦🇺🇬🇷 🇧🇷

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

Age Verification: What countries require you to perform ID checks & for what websites and platforms? | Tuta

Will the age verification era kill anonymity? More countries are passing age verification laws, now also for social media apps as seen in Australia and upcoming in the UK, France, Spain, and Turkey.

So much ignorant people in the governments that its just dumb to comment it.

How can you force age verification to a Mastodon, NOSTR, EMail hosting site instance in Swiss or Sweden, that is accessible through onion address?

At least tell the Governments ask the Universities in their country for opinion.

If the kids are not protected in the platform that are actually owned by the "Five Eyes", does the governments think they will be safer on NOSTR or Mastodon where it is WWW?

Bad at Names

“Online safety” meaning surveillance, AI criminals promising various bullshit scams that will be used as a cover for building the private sector police state, mass identity theft when the verification is inevitably outsourced to a lowest bidder tech firm that still is wildly overpriced and wastes all the money, and then the use of the whole thing against everyone who isn’t a rich white insane Christian technofascist.

I agree with most points in this post, but the privacy section seems slightly incomplete to me. Using identity wallets which use zero knowledge proofs (e.g. @yivi_privacybydesign), proving ‘being over 16’ can be done without one’s ID or any other PIID with a central server.

The point of being limited to governmental ID holders still mostly holds up though (although it shifts to e.g. EUDI wallet holders, which happen to not necessarily use zero knowledge proofs)

Brazil has passed law not only to require age checks for social media, but also for operating systems.

The Digital Statute of Children and Adolescents (ECA Digital - Law No. 15211/2025) is regulated by Decree 12880/2026, clearing stating in the Article 2 (IV to VII) and the Article 15.

In the USA, H.R. 8250 requires operating system providers to verify the age of any user of an operating system.

A brazilian bureaucrat once said it would be wonderful having a digital money at the time of Covid-19 pandemic - Drex - making possible to government restrict where a person could spend his money (english subtitles available in YouTube).
