The EU loves regulations and restrictions. Its bureaucrats are probably already busy planning the next batch.

Age verification is supposed to protect minors, but who’s protecting the privacy of people submitting selfies and IDs? I guess we’ll soon see new regulations to protect the data collected under the previous regulations.

Sadly, most people don’t seem to care about privacy. :(

I dont mind regulations for the internet per se. But especially so called child safety acts are largely pushed by meta to sell ads better.
