Hundreds of scientists say stop! ✋🚨

Governments should pause plans for mandatory #AgeChecks on online services until serious #privacy and #security concerns are addressed.

As countries push to ban children from social media, the risk to everyone’s privacy is growing. 🔐🌍

Will the age verification era kill anonymity? As more countries are passing age verification laws, let's take a look at what countries already require it, and for what services, online sites,and social media platforms.

First they came for Adult Sites
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in Adult sites
Then they came for chat apps
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in chat apps
Then they came for Social Media
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in Social Media
Then they locked the whole web behind ID verification
Then they came for VPNs
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in VPNs
And there was nowhere left
To speak up — First they came for Adult Sites And I did not speak out Because I was not interested in Adult sites Then they came for chat apps And I did not speak out Because I was not interested in chat apps Then they came for Social Media And I did not speak out Because I was not interested in Social Media Then they locked the whole web behind ID verification Then they came for VPNs And I did not speak out Because I was not interested in VPNs And there was nowhere left To speak up

It’s not. Privacy is an inherent human right, and a requirement for maintaining the human condition with dignity and respect...
