European+age+verification+app+to+keep+children+safe+online | https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/european-age-verification-app-keep-children-safe-online-2026-04-15_enWe hate age verification. Do we hate this one more than usual? Is it actually completely anonymous? Does it require something like Play Integrity?#ageverification

@itsfoss oops

EU age verification app announced to protect children online> OK Europe, are you really thinking its a good idea to follow the American trends? Or are you just doing this to get us all in your state monitor lists? #europe #ageverification #scam #masssurveillance #eu #ChatControl https://www.dw.com/en/eu-chief-urges-bloc-wide-push-on-age-verification-app-to-protect-children-online/a-76788202

EU Launches Age Verification AppThe Commission built the app on the same architecture as its planned continental digital identity wallet. That's not a coincidence.https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-launches-age-verification-app#AgeVerification #IDVerification #EU #privacy #surveillance #dystopia #technology

@kuketzblogNur damit ich das richtig verstehe:man soll einer Firma, die Tools u.a. für Identitatsdiebstahl herstellt und betreibt, die volle Identität, Meldedaten, amtlichen Biometriedaten und aktuellen Bewegtbilder zur Verfügung stellen?(rhetorische Frage)

@crispius @chris @Paulatics woohoo PeerTube!

Men altså ... – Appen, som vil være kompatibel med både mobile enheter og datamaskiner, vil kreve at brukerne laster opp passet eller ID-kortet sitt for å bekrefte alderen sin anonymt, sa EU-sjef von der Leyen.Hvor mye har man drukket for å kunne si noe sånt? Hva i all verden er det som er anonymt i pass eller ID-kort?!?Dette er så dumt at jeg håper journalisten har misforstått.https://www.nrk.no/urix/slik-vil-eu-sjekke-alderen-din-pa-sosiale-medier-1.17847802#nyheter #personvern #privatliv #eu #ageverification

My guess is that NetBSD will ignore it until it has to be officially dealt with. That's my hope at least, and the track record of Slow and Steady from the NetBSD organization. Age verification requirement is such an affront to technical literacy, that it is doubtful to pass and be upheld without significant push back.What is the US going to do? Outlaw use of older "retro" operating systems that do not have Age Verification feature? It is ridiculous and unenforceable at so many levels. #AgeVerification

@AnastasiaE sorry the message should’ve read ‘why can’t they access they access so much information’ not “can’t “ but I believe you understood that.

@gamingonlinux speaking as a parent, I’ve decide that no company gets to know who is using my or my kids’ computers or what their age is.What are they going to do? Toss me in jail for ticking the checkbox that says “disable this really very important feature, you naughty user you” that every distribution will put in to get through some vague loophole that will inevitably sneak its way in to whatever chatgpt-generated specification the law ends up requiring?I mean yes, probably.

Experts Banded Together to Condemn Age Verification. They Got IgnoredIt's yet another instance of how science gets routinely ignored in the age verification debate, but worth pointing out.https://www.freezenet.ca/experts-banded-together-to-condemn-age-verification-they-got-ignored/#Censorship #News #AgeVerification #letter #politics #research #science

@violetmadder @glassresistor @anton @Em0nM4stodon I don’t know how to change human nature but I do know it is folly to work against it rather than acknowledging our collective weaknesses and work alongside them, with them, redirecting and guiding. It is a very difficult path, and the easy way out is constantly, incessantly beckoning to us every damn step of the way.

They really are scared of kids growing up with open eyes. Mentioned: #yxe #skpoli #AgeVerification

Governor Vetoes Age Verification Bill. He Was Called an “Extremist”Wisconsin governor, Tony Evers, vetoed an age verification bill for all the right reasons. Apparently, that makes him an "extremist".https://www.freezenet.ca/governor-vetoes-age-verification-bill-he-was-called-an-extremist/#Censorship #News #Privacy #Security #AgeVerification #TonyEvers #US #Wisconsin
