The EU Kids Act is a concerning proposal. It fails to adequately protect children and instead prioritizes the commercial interests of major tech companies like #Facebook (Meta), and #Google (Alphabet). These corporations have already captured the surveillance and advertising markets, and this legislation risks granting them even regulatory control—at the expense of free speech and open-source.
If you're an EU citizen, please sign the petition to oppose the KidsAct: 🔗 https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2026/000011_en
Additionally, contact your representatives to voice your concerns about this harmful legislation.

@debby@hear-me.social I'll not sign this. This is for proof of age as long as it's anonymous. I'm against gatekeeping.
Even anonymous proof of age (if somehow possible) enables governments to exclude people from online participation. E.g. undocumented people.
