BREAKING: The European Parliament just voted in favor of banning social media for people under the age of 16. 483 MEPs voted in favor while 92 voted against. If it becomes law, people will likely have to use IDs to log into their profiles, making anonymous accounts impossible. image

This is how they trick people into giving up their rights. -Digital IDs are the only way to enforce this. -Digital IDs were always the goal. -Digital IDs can be used as a digital prison. For example, if everyone has one, they could require them to be tied to your debit/credit card. At that point, they can deduce your carbon footprint. Whats to stop them from restricting certain purchases like steak? Tobacco? Gasoline? Anything. They could even make it so your money doesn’t work outside of a given area to effectively restrict travel. β€”It’s not a question of β€œIF” they will erode your civil rights, its a question of WHEN. πŸ§‘πŸ‘ŠπŸ»β˜•οΈ
Fuck the EU. Anyway... Just say "no". Don't comply. It's as simple as that. A tiny, tiny number of "leaders" lose their power when the masses stop acquiescing to the bans, rules and laws.
I honestly have mixed feelings about this. Influencers doesn't contribute valuable skills to their mental development. I think that's a double edge sword. Now the big brother will insist to see our ID's when we log into Nostr 🀣 haaa nooot.

Freedom of thought prevention. Used to be that public school was enough.
Letting govt be your mother is a terrible idea. I'm very anti social media but Its my job to keep my kids out if trouble. Nothing good will come of this.

Yes, a similar mechanism to those free hotel wi-fis where you need to login before access to internet is allowed. Only here, it is the ISP who requires "logging in", by identification with the digital ID system.
I agree but what I see is just a few parents successfully fighting the social media trend. Majority of them are glye to the Instagram and Facebook together with their kids. Society is fucked and governments are doing to make it even more fucked.
Dystopian! So, they want to illegalize the free flow of information between people.. And their worst enemy was the truth..
thats the final goal, no ID no internet, when you cant compete in free world you become comunist
Cant wait till they announce that because of national emergency if you dont go use your money it will expire.
#Europoor πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί is gonna love embracing THEIR #DigitalID so much. πŸ˜‘
I am surprised they still haven’t tried banning melting two pieces of plastic together Print your own firearms with #3D2A Escape the utopia
Do you think this will lead to massive scale internet firewalls like in China? Because if users can freely access servers _outside of_ the EU, that undermines the legislation, no? (Unless all countries cave to this idea ... not likely anytime soon IMO) So they might ban accessing certain servers. That's a firewall.
Always in the name of safety, which sometimes is no more than opinion promoted to public policy.
