       Protecting children online matters—but age verification is not how you do it. Read our analysis of the new EU Kids Act, which is a threat to the open internet and our privacy https://eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/eu-kids-act-wont-keep-internet-accountable-and-trustworthy

       @eff You're underselling the threat to the Fediverse here. This proposal makes Fedi outright illegal. Some guy with a day job has no hope of successfully complying with this law's numerous expensive demands.You're also underselling its harmful impact on children. People under age 15 are not allowed to speak to strangers (article 6 point 1.u). Everyone is, at first, a stranger! This is functionally a total ban, just with a thick layer of obfuscation.
