The Age-Verification Trap: Verifying user’s ages undermines everyone’s data protection
Age verification is obviously a “casus belli” that a bunch of (mostly Western, mostly European) leaders adopt because they realise the next 10-20 years will be marked by having to lead from positions of deep unpopularity.
Brussels though, chooses the path of authoritarianism and crushing dissent, to unite in a “totalitarian war union” (to borrow from Varoufakis), instead of understanding the reason for their deep unpopularity and reforming.
Moreover, Europe needs a post-EU future.
