@martinsteiger @marcel so oder so ist #eID und #Altersverifikation prinzipiell abzulehnen, weil dies nur #Cyberfaschismus normalisiert.
Siehe #UK #OSA sowie #KOSA, #FOSTA & #SESTA in den #USA, welche allesamt #Desinformation unter dem Deckmantel des "#Jugendschutz" pushten.
@marcel ich sehe trotzdem die #eID - Vorstöße kritisch im Kontext selbst erlebter #Angstkultur, #Entrechtung und immer härterem #Polizeistaat mit #Überwachung und #Repression.
Wenn überhaupt müsste dies als reines #OptIn mit explizitem Verbot von #Zwang und #Benachteiligung kodifiziert werden, und selbst dann sehe ich es als problematisch weil allzugern "Optionalitäten" gestrichen werden.
Siehe #PassOhneFinger / #PersoOhneFinger!
In the first class of my European law degree, I must read and understand the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Let me know if I got it right.
https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/title/preamble
Article 1 - Human dignity -
Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected. [Unless you use e2ee, then really it’s cops that must be respected and protected.]
Article 6 - Right to liberty and security -
Everyone[*] has the right to liberty and security of person. [*Politicians]
Article 7 - Respect for private and family life -
Everyone[*] has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications. [*Politicians]
Article 8 - Protection of personal data -
1. Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her [unless you use e2ee].
Article 11 - Freedom of expression and information -
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers [unless you use e2ee].
Article 20 - Equality before the law -
Everyone is equal before the law. [Therefore we’re going to treat you like a terrorist and a pedophile at the same time. But politicians are pure and above you.]
Article 25 - The rights of the elderly -
The Union recognises and respects the rights of the elderly to lead a life of dignity and independence and to participate in social and cultural life [unless you use e2ee].
Article 48 - Presumption of innocence and right of defence -
1. Everyone who has been charged shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law. [That’s why we’re going to surveil everything you say just to make sure you stay innocent ;).]
Article 54 - Abuse of rights -
Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as implying any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms recognised in this Charter or at their limitation to a greater extent than is provided for herein. [Unless it’s encrypted. You see, the theoretical protection of children and theoretical spotting of terrorism does in fact nullify this.]
Brave New Internet
is coming.
@megmuttonhead @tomw @isotopp I haven't kept track, but did #KOSA get passed?
New video is live: https://youtu.be/WX3tB00TVaI
Politicians in the EU, UK & US are pushing laws like Chat Control, KOSA & Online Safety Acts that break encryption & demand internet ID. Here’s why that’s dangerous.
@chiefgyk3d and this #Cyberfacism must be opposed by any and all means necessary!
And that means "#EncryptHarder!"
Give every unattended child a #multiboot-#flashdrive with @tails_live / @tails / @torproject #Tails & @kalilinux / #KaliLinux and all the manuals & documentation you can find as #PDF on!
Organize a @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth / @cryptoparty@chaos.social / #CryptoParty in your area or by any means you want (You can even do some #Livestream like a "#LetsPlay' and invite others to follow along.
Make it known that any Cyberfacism, regardless if #INDECT, #KOSA or whatever #ptopaganda they push will nit be tolerated, but actively combatted and sabotaged!
Be ready to #camover in cyberspace!
Cuz if we don't act swiftly against this "#CorrosionStrategy" and constant assault against #HumanRights & #CivilRightd we'll end up not with "P.R." #China but #NorthKorea-Level of #facism!
Up late editing tomorrow’s video 
Politicians in the EU, UK & US are pushing Chat Control, KOSA & Online Safety laws. They claim it’s “for the kids” — but it really means breaking encryption & forcing internet ID.
When I was in high school, I wanted a fake ID to buy beer.
Now I want one to surf the 'net.

Even if you don't, its worth a watch. Micro-resistence in many forms can sill make a difference.
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA! https://stopkosa.com
f YouTube I deleted my account so when they start doing this age verification thing, that since I'm not using an account on Youtube they won't be making me submit id since they aren't collecting as much personal data. (keep in mind I said, as much. because this data collecting giant is not so simple to understand from the surface.)
[USA] Call your US Senators to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA)
Long time no see.
This is URGENT. The bastards are attempting to mimic the United Kingdom and KILL THE INTERNET. How? The Kids "Online Safety" Act - TWICE REJECTED MIND YOU - has been reintroduced, more reactionary than ever.
Numerous Senators we could trust have BETRAYED us, cosponsoring this abomination like it's nothing. FUCK THEM ALL!
CALL, PROTEST, DO ANYTHING TO BURN THIS BILL. NOW.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1409/cosponsors
Even Spotify requires age verification now. 
This is becoming increasingly absurd. Until you realize that the real goal is to dramatically expand government control over your online life. Then everything starts to make perfect sense.

29 July 2025: KOSA is up for another vote yet again, by the same Republicans who refuse the release of the Epstein files.
How can you be "for the kids" when you're in bed with a pedophile?
This bill won't protect kids.
Neither will the Republican party.
Call your reps now.
--Original Message--
KOSA has been amended, and it still poses a great risk to LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities, while posing as a bill designed to protect kids from predatory acts.
It is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
It will obliterate LGBTQ+ resources, as well as resources on mental wellness, teen addiction help, reproductive health, youth activism...
It effectively forces sites, ISPs and platforms to censor legitimate context out of fear that certain political actors can misconstrue the content on any given day, and proceed with legal actions on what was misconstrued.
It's openly vague, and written to silence.
Censorship is bad.
Act now.

If you thought going to a Pride event or drag show was just another night out, think again. If you were in Florida, it might land your name in a government database.
Just like the Kids Online Safety Act and other bills with misleading names, this isn’t about protecting children. It’s about using the power of the state to intimidate people government officials disagree with:

This is why we don’t want to give tech bros and corpos our IDs to use the internet. (When I looked at this app it only asked for a selfie, which seemed like a reasonable way to verify a woman is signing up.)
