Even if you support this shit, 16 is an absolutely crazy high age. You can vote at 16 but your government thinks you are too stupid to use “social media” responsibly? This is pure stupidity. And to no surprise, the ID verification companies behind this are sponsored by Palantir. This is every fascists wet dream.
Politicians would never admit their wrongdoing.
If I can still access your profile an hour from now and it’s not deleted, you’re full of shit.
They don’t have a copy of my passport and a video of me holding it. They also don’t have a 3D scan of my face, which is what all these age verification companies want from you. They literally use AI while you are filming yourself to 3D scan your face for the Palantir database.
In Germany, the left is among the only parties opposing stuff like this, and they have very good arguments against it! The social democrats want to “protect the kids”. The CDU is strongly in favor because they think “Teenage Terrorists” are being radicalized online.
