Angus Reid Poll Undermines Media Age Verification Narrative

Canada's mainstream media has been pushing the narrative that age verification is popular. Not quite according to Angus Reid.

Dette er temmelig naivt. Og ikke noe om hvordan de skal overvåke dette eller hvilke konsekvenser om de bryter med disse uspesifiserte grensene.

"Det betyr at tilbyderne ikke bare skal verifisere at brukerne faktisk er gamle nok – de må gjøre det på en måte som ikke samler inn mer data enn nødvendig."

Age Verification is Now Mutating into General ID

Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

Digital ID is definitely not going away:-

> My Ministers will also proceed with the introduction of Digital ID that will modernise how citizens interact with public services [Digital Access to Services Bill].

@EUCommission As a queer person, I can get behind this message!
But again, as a queer person, you are in the process of creating an awful situation with the #ageverification laws. Teens should be able to access information about LGBTQ+ topics without even fearing that it might be logged and tied to their ID. This is one of the many reasons why IF the #EUDI wallet needs to exist at all, ZKPs and offline operation MUST be a requirement and the standard before release - safety by technical design!

Yesterday, at an AI conference in Copenhagen, the Danish Acting Prime Minister told journalists that she would rather have children smoking than use social media! https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/politik/reels/mette-f-hellere-mine-boern-ryger-end-de-er-alene-paa-some (video in English)

The purpose is of course to promote social media bans and #AgeVerification. Whatever it takes of absurd arguments, apparently..

She later apologised for the comparison https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/politik/hun-ville-egentlig-ikke-sige-det-men-ud-kom-det-alligevel-nu-beklager-mette-frederiksen (in Danish)

Needless to say, she did this on social media, so journalists cannot ask questions. 😱

#Lenovo website asking me about my age, am I buying porn or alcohol, no! I am filling in a review about a charger I bought 🤔

Well I guess they'll never know what I think about that charger then..

The #internet has got the imperialists running scared of public opinion. This is why they are attacking the internet, e.g. #AgeVerification, removing #Section230, etc. Don't fall for their bullshit, people. The #Epstein class is obviously NOT "protecting" your kids. youtube.com/shorts/r_Lor...

Meta’s using AI to spot underage users on Facebook and Instagram—big move for platform safety and age checks. https://jpmellojr.blogspot.com/2026/05/meta-turns-to-ai-to-enforce-age.html #Meta #AI #Facebook #Instagram #AgeVerification

@EUCommission

If you are serious about this, start regulating platforms.

Instead of subjecting everybody to "verification" processes that lock adolescents out. Processes that merely enable platforms and their "partners" to collect more and more data about #EU citizens, destroying even the tiny bit of privacy that is still left.

EU 🇪🇺 vil overveje at begrænse børns adgang til #SoMe - sociale platforme

Allerede til sommer kan der blive indført nye regler ifølge EU-kommissions-formand Ursula von der Leyen.

Hun er tirsdag i #København til en konference om, hvordan børn og unge bliver påvirket af kunstig intelligens

Til juli skal ventes anbefalinger fra et ekspert-panel om, hvad EU kan gøre for at beskytte mindreårige #ageverification

@LeoKirke

No particular date, but (a) both the #EuropeanUnion and the German government are preparing laws for #AgeVerification and (b) #Meta has lobbied hard for this.

Superficially, age verification laws for social media may sound like a sensible way of protecting young people. The Electronic Freedom Foundation explains why it's more complex than that.

The EU’s age-verification app may be technically ready, but the compliance picture for online providers in Europe is anything but settled. We examine why the new tool is only part of the story:

Well, I finally deleted my #Instagram account and my #Facebook page for "Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles".

They were a big waste of time anyway, and once #Meta makes #AgeVerification mandatory, it's two less things I have to delete before saying goodbye to them for good.

Oh and they also have "KYC pre-verified accounts". So anyone still in favour of the #AgeVerification bullshit tell me why that shouldn't also be happening to accounts hat passed age verification?

It's just surveillance bullshit without any actual value. At most some child will make big bucks selling such accounts at school. Similar to how 18+ (and indexed) games or porn DVDs and so on were sold and passed around back then at mine...

#FacialRecognition is almost anywhere in the U.S. now—and #privacy implications are devastating.
