Children are people,and like any person they need their own unsurvivaled space. Were they can talk to peers.

In the 90's it was rude to pick up the downstairs phone and listen to your teens call.

The 2000's it was rude to read your child's sms's

Know it's ok to just stop communication access?
One more on this: for some kids - a significant number - the biggest danger is the parents. The kids need protection and an escape from their parents.
“"We stand firm on the side of parents and not on the platforms," Wells said.”

Yeah, because you think this is a conflict between parents and platforms, and the *kids* themselves don’t enter your thoughts.

It should be the kids’ rights and needs that matter.

🇿🇦We have demonstrated that current user filters and parental controls already archive all goals of Segregate and suppress laws/age verification method's without compromising user agency or Privacy.

This is not protection,but legislative capture.

The absolute kicker to all of this is that most of the solutions they are seeking already exist on your phone. They just need to be enabled by parents.

But, no, they want to bring an East Wing demolition crew to everyone's internet because no one can be bothered going to "settings."

You shouldn’t have to present your ID, credit card info, or face to be scanned just to access your favorite sites, news, or games yet this is the growing reality for Internet users globally. We need a firestorm to take down online ID checks for good-- so we planned one. Join us for a week of action!

#1 Remove AGE VERIFICATION
#2 Remove duty of care are those requirements are vague and ripe for abuse.

Also call and demand they stop implemention of the Super app.

What frustrates me and the other folks at the @betterprivacyproject is the fact south Africa has a similar scheme they wish to implement
As well as a China super app(my mzanzi)set for q2 next year.

It really seems like all the Privacy fights this year has missed all those fighting in South Africa.
We cannot base our human rights on the government’s mere promise to uphold them. The UK government must listen to the public and civil society organizations in the country and say no to digital ID.

The UK Has It Wrong on Digital ID. Here’s Why.
In late September, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his government’s plans to introduce a new digital ID scheme in the country to take effect before the end of the Parliament...

Age verification is not like "showing ID to buy a drink"

That's not how information works. One can watch a documentary/news on YouTube(which does not allow adult media) and someone else just can't because of age restriction.

Here is a test can you watch this signed out :👇
