Mandatory age verification online in the EU - Amendment 186

a year ago by cm0002 to c/privacy

EU parliament accepted a last minute amendment, mandating age verification for pornographic (whatever that is) content online, punishable with up to one year prison sentence.

This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?

Can't wait to have to show id on every website, especially ones on which I say what I think about my government (that jails people for that)

Sneaking giant bombshell as a last minute amendment – that sure reminds me of certain authocracy's legislative practices
