Age verification is spreading like cancer. First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies! 👉 More: https://tuta.com/blog/age-verification-kills-anonymity

@Tutanota Sadly, lots of people online think this is for the good and important to protect children...Like if the fact that some parents doesn't want to take care of their children is enough to force everyone to be monitored...

@Tutanota tbh, if there was a method that provides age verification *without* ID being stored and connected to activity, I wouldn't be opposed to it. "age-verified, user is at least xyz years old" needs to be nothing more than a flag containing exactly that information.

@Tutanota it’s not about age though, is it? It’s about total stasi surveillance

@Tutanota the other day reporting on Roblox (game platform) some people were happy that the platform added age verification by scanning a photo. So voluntarily having children giving their pictures for facial recognition… (the kids were unimpressed. One 12 years old was identified as 16-17, another claimed to have shown a random photo of an adult)

@Tutanota The thing that annoys me most about all of that is this: They already have my ID.My ISP, as in the Internet Service Provider that Provides me with access to the Internet, already required my ID to sign up.I only have any access to the internet in the first place because I already gave them my ID.There is absolutely no need for me to hand out my ID to everyone like candy at a halloween party just for one of them to leak it in a breach because that's five dozen attack vectors.

@Tutanota age verification is not for the teenagers. It’s for the adults. The presumption is you are a teenager unless you can prove otherwise, so basically all Internet users will have to register..

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Folks... I don't know who was responsible for the Martin Niemöller allegory. That's really inappropriate.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

@nocci Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing your stance on this. We agree that this poem could be misinterpreted in such a way, and that is definitely not something we intended. However, in the English-speaking world it is commonly used today to speak up against increasing surveillance tendencies, and that's what we are doing here. We are sorry if this did not come across clear enough and will review future posts more critically.

@Tutanota nope. It's good that adult sites are locked behind age verification. The harder it is to access that rubbish, the better.The issues are all the others, yes.

@Tutanota There are people who believe this will lead to the destruction of the web we know it and I am sure that would be the case, but the offline world will be affected as well.Even if you refuse to provide ID and do their verification checks, there will be a time where even the government will require some sort of online presence. The days we lived our lives entirely offline are gone.I hope I am wrong!
