Btw there are better ways to protect children from online harm than with chatcontrol which include nationwide distributions of “Digital Self-Defense” materials, security-by-design apps, deleting reported materials immediatly and so forth.

You do know that if chatcontrol was reality, you also make it impossible for minors to anonymously seek help from f.e. abusive households and you only think of the children as moral ammunition to further your goal for online mass surveillance.

Citizens of democratic countries upholding the rule of law shouldn't be asked to forward their ID to private organizations that aren't held liable for the implemented security and the internal usage of this sensitive data.

Moreover countries like the USA now do a full check of SM contents for everyone entering the country. A burner phone won't be enough when the police can link other accounts to an ID.

Very good initiative

Meanwhile, open an account and follow us on one of the fascist US networks, add to the wealth of their owners while they're working on the destruction of democracy.

I am all for holding tech platforms accountable, but i am against any form of age verification that requires submitting an ID. We already know how that ends. We have already seen it, again and again. Companies get hacked. Data gets breached. And suddenly your ID information is out there.

I also believe there should be a bigger focus on educating parents, putting more responsiblilty in their hands.
Anyone remember how to use “Parental Controls”?

Also, the "platforms are responsible to ensure users safety" is quite vaque.

What is missing here is: Parenting.
Parents neglecting their kids by giving them unfettered access to the internet.

We don't need governments to take away our privacy and our rights, because some people are shitty parents.

You decide to have kids, you take responsibility.
