Banning companies collecting governmental IDs and other PII in general would be a good move.
I'm really sick of everyone left and right trying to build profiles (even when they're not allowed) and then not even getting a slap on the wrist. Or them intentionally building vulnerable systems so that they can "loose the information" they want to bundle and collect just so they have plausible deniability for having done so...

@EUCommission None of this matters as long as platforms are allowed (or mandated!) to collect personal identifiers. That is a greater threat to safety than either of the things you mentioned!

A safe internet for EU citizens means:
- Strong encryption without back doors
- No mandatory collection of personal data disguised as Age Verification. -

Oh and kill the data broker market while you're on it too. That's a market that just simply shouldn't exist. It's sole purpose is to covertly screw people over by collecting and aggregating information about them...

@EUCommission I prefer to assume good intent on behalf of the commission.
But it is worrying that the very legislation which met so much resistance from the oligarch "Bros" is being watered down. And only very anxious meagre action has been taken so far. Also the symbolism of the commission advertising and promoting X with logo and link on their own web site.
"Look here citizens, we vouch for this service with our good name. We recommend that you use this."
Nearly half of Europeans would back banning X over EU law breaches
A new YouGov survey across Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Poland shows nearly half of Europeans (47 percent) would back banning social media platform X from the EU if it continues to breach EU rules.

@EUCommission Then please, for f*s sake, strongly oppose and condemn the moves towards mandatory age verification and social media bans gor minors and instead fight the inhumane and unfair practices of multi-billion-dollar corpos and their billionaire neonazi scum bosses.

Hey @EUCommission if you're wondering where to begin, banning #Onfido #Persona and #Sumsub would be a VERY good start!

@EUCommission
Thanks for your work. This sounds good but why do you still want age verification and other privacy busting schemes?The folks in the USA also need to start asking the people who are running in their primaries what have are planning to do to bring better privacy law to america.
If you dont, why do you think anything will change and why should anyone else in the world ever listen to you again.
