  7. CW: chat control, age id

    How can you take the "protect the children" speech seriously when some EU countries have an age of consent as low as 14?

    And the problem is doomscrolling TikTok, not the law that allows adults to groom teenagers. Right.

  8. Age verification laws are spreading fast, and it’s a massive privacy trainwreck. Forcing users to hand over IDs or biometric scans kills anonymity & builds giant honeypots for hackers.

  10. EU Chief: We “Need” to Embarrass Ourselves Further With Age Verification

    Ursula von der Leyen continues to double down on failed age verification laws, vaguely pointing to "predatory algorithms".

    If the #EuropeanUnion goes through with a new law, it would be by far the biggest effort worldwide to bar children from social media apps.

  18. @quinn

    "Wave of legislation to ban children from social media" is a scam.

    Its about de-anonimising adults.
    The statists and authoritarians LOATHED the semi - anonimity of the internet.

    They have tried to bring in "Internet passport" for the last few decades.

  19. 1/2 🚨 European Commission panel of experts backs indiscriminate age checks 🚨

    Today, the chairs of the European Commission's panel of experts on child online safety published their recommendations, backing mandatory EU-wide #AgeVerification to exclude people under 13 from accessing online spaces 🚫

    To know who is of the right age, everyone may have to prove their age. That creates barriers for people who cannot—or simply should not have to—go through the age verification process.

  21. Followed a link to BlueSky (where I do have an account I occasionally use) and got the message below.

    Any suggestions for how to get around this? No way in hell am I giving them my ID.

  27. RE: infosec.exchange/@Javvad/11688

    This is the way to "protect the children": hold the company accountable.

    Not rules like #ChatControl or #AgeVerification that are easy to circumvent or just don't work.

  29. Dear #HiveMind

    I have a Masters student who needs an overview of currently available #AgeVerification technologies which are or might be used to enforce a #SocialMediaBan

    And it would be an amazing bonus if there was some work on the specific technical challenges of going for 16 rather than 18 as the cut-off.

    Thank-you!

  33. Tener que informarles a los gobiernos que te quieres echar una paja me parece la mierda más distópica de los últimos años.
    No solo las autoridades tu gobierno van a acceder a esta información, también EEUU, brasil, chile, etc en donde estén los servidores, luego también Israel y China que se van a robar la información, etc, etc
    Ni orwell predijo algo así.

  34. #Australia’s #socialmediaban for users under 16 is #ineffective, as #platforms are not implementing #agechecks. The #study, conducted by the same team that advised the government, revealed that platforms did not request age proof for accounts declared as 16. While the government recommends escalating to formal #ageverification when behavioural indicators suggest underage users, the initial vetting stage is failing to identify young users. reuters.com/world/australias-t #tech #media #news
