The horror of Age Verification is arriving in Canada 🚨🇨🇦

@wbftw @robriley @Em0nM4stodon Spot on - same bs going down in the UK - people don't seem to understand the point isn't to limit kids access...it's to create detailed ID records for all people over the age limit.
Look at trump's usa and their treatment of Francesca Albanese as a perfect example of how personal data can be misused to target an individual.
People say 'our government won't do this', and yes, they may be right....but what about a future one?
That's where all this is heading

After the world's experience of Donald Trump, it would be foolish to believe that any national leader "won't go there." If not the current one, the next one.

@mHtt @Em0nM4stodon Probably would be difficult to enforce the ban in a meaningful way, as a practical solution:
* introduce mandatory independent moderation, with rates and penalties increasing with the size of the platform (goal: force decentralization and therefore reduce the reach, and as a result make attention harvesting less effective)
* ban surveillance advertising (might be doable, seeing that the industry blatantly violates every privacy legislation, including GDPR).Sure also, when a database is queried,: only return the exact string with no 'suggestions'. in fact no suggestions ever at all.
