I heard Facebook was funding this in the US. Not sure if they’re responsible for it elsewhere too. It’s basically Five Eyes countries doing this, so you can bet it’s to do with their surveillance efforts. How do we stop it? First step is not to comply. Do not complete any age verification. If you are absolutely forced to, at least lodge complaints about it. If you are still required to, try to avoid giving any data, e.g. use a pre-recorded video of someone else or a videogame character to pass the age check. Second step is to use and support alternative platforms that avoid such measures.
Meta is funding age verification efforts, not social media bans. Those do two different things. Meta doesn’t want to prevent young people from accessing social media, they just want cover for when they get sued for allowing minors to access certain things, so age verification laws pass the buck to the government.
I’m convinced social media bans are primarily driven by the Zionist lobby, as well as others who want to see access to information limited (the rich and powerful writ large, as they have much harder time controlling social media than they do traditional media). An entire generation across the globe despises Israel as they watched a genocide live-streamed to them via social media. So they want to cut off the youth’s access to information to prevent that from ever happening again.
Meta is funding massive non profit groups lobbying for it at the OS level in the name of child safety. If there’s going to be age verification anyways they don’t want to pay for it, and want to benefit from the better ad targeting.
This is happening in too many countries for it to just be coincidence. Who is pushing it, why, and how do we get rid of them? [Edit for typo]

Maybe it’s time to de-digitize and go back outdoors and read paper books.
My life would not be worse without car videos.
Definitely. It would make life better in so many ways if everyone did this.

It’s Meta.

Peter Theil is Palantir, and he holds Vance’s leash. He LITERALLY owns Vance. If Vance becomes president, Theil is in charge.

Probably the WEF or another of those huge capitalist organisations you hear recurring in tinfoil hat conspiracies.

I think the reason is the upcoming world war. When you want to make people fight, you need to restrict their freedom
