@GlitchyZorua@wetdry.world the problem with this ECI petition is that it's asking for a form of age verification that's still identifiable, which directly contradicts the campaign's goal. there is no such thing as "privacy-preserving age assurance". adding insult to injury, the petition then goes on to normalize ID checks as if it weren't a problem in the first place.

We call on the European Commission to propose legislation ensuring that digital identity and age-assurance systems used to access online services in the Union remain voluntary, privacy-preserving and non-discriminatory. Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law.
