🚨 EU Age Verification Regulation
It is not Chat Control. It is another regulation where EU is trying to do mass surveillance 📹in the name of "parenting"
EU thinks that everyone must be totally stupid. Do not become "sheeple".
The EU Parliament adopted a non-legislative resolution on November 26, 2025, proposing: 👇
1. a harmonized 16-year minimum age for social media access
2. parental consent for ages 13-16
3. banning use of social media under age of 13
4. endorsing EU age verification apps tied to the digital identity wallet
What is next?
- EU commission can approve or deny or return for changes
- It is not a law yet. And it should not become a law in the sake of 450 million people.
- bottom line: it is another mechanism how to have a control over whole EU population.
How do you want to know who is teen vs. adult without ID verifying everyone?
What to do:
- if you do not like the digital authoritarianism and surveillance leading to restriction of freedom of speech, the best bet is to leave EU and do parenting in more freedom based countries.
- there will be high chances of breaches stealing digital IDs from centralized data silos.
- there is a chance to launch EU Digital identity wallet.
- Use decentralized social platforms that cannot be mandated with age/ID verification.
- Study digital privacy, learn how to be sovereign, do not be the product and hostage. Use privacy enhancing open source services. Minimize unwanted digital trace.
