@StopKillingGames@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu The initiative is extremely bad and weak. These clauses basically change nothing:

Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves [..] unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law
The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof-of-age, data minimisation, [etc.]
There is no anonymous verification of age, there is no private system for any of that. Age verification should not exist AT ALL. It shouldn't require nor allow this

So, give more control to corporations? Big surprise

@StopKillingGames@mastodon.social
One of the things that I found the most offensive were how some companies are apparently exploring potential for "liveness checks" which alongside age verification would require children to regularly take videos of themselves to prove their realness.

And you don't need me to tell you how completely awful it is for children to get into the habit of sending video of themselves to strangers upon request.
