Does anyone have any insights / scoops about the upcoming #EUKidsAct, set to be introduced this Thursday to "age gate" access to social media platforms across the EU? (Thus forcing every citizen to upload their government ID to establish their age)
I'm super worried about the impact on the #OpenSocialWeb and the Fediverse in particular.

I wish they would share a clear description of the platforms affected by this legislation.
@_elena Won't help but hurt kids (especially lgbtq+ kids) . Absolute privacy nightmare. Yep completely on track with how things have been going. God forbid we actually penalize the companies that deliberately make addicting apps. Instead let's punish the users. 🤡
@remywhisker @_elena It's by design and it's high time everybody swallow that pill. Politicians and tech oligarchs are all part of the same fraternal orders and secret groups. Their enemy is not each other it's us.
