Age checks for social media is a excuse for IDs for everyone on the net.

How many states both US and globally is planning to require age checks for social media? That will put ID on a large swat of users in the Western hemisphere for the govs and US&NSA.
The real target for this is not minors on social media, but the privacy of ordinary people on the net. Today the majority is in dark on privacy on the net, but with ID for social media, they what flip this, so its the majority. That France is a standard bearer is unbelievable.
Add to that the attack on encrypted communication. Add Palatirs AI on top.
European govs are doing US bidding, creating the tech-broligarch surveillance state. But what do you care, if you have nothing to hide?
This is much a much more serious fight than people realise. The fight for the ring to privacy. Its also the fight for the ability to be critical of the government. Its an attack on one of the core freedoms of the citizens.
I am on the Apple ecosystem, and while not a direct ID, its pretty close I realise now.
