>browsing the internet>come across thread about dumb topic>create a reddit throwaway account>thread was 18+ so reddit asks me if I'm above 18>just type in that I was born on jan 1st 2000>suddenly brings me to some government website asking me for my IDHOLY FUCK I THOUGHT BRITISH PEOPLE WERE FUCKING JOKING ABOUT THIS SHIT, ITS LITERALLY HERE AT MY DOORSTEP IN MY COUNTRY WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCK
It happens here too. Shit sucks.
>>222581550how the fuck do politicians get away with this shit
>>222581456no. unless an EU wide law is implemented something like this will never happen here
>>222581581It has already been passed you retard. By the end of 2026 all European countries will need to implement a system where people have to verify their identity to use social media sites.
>>222581456so this is a Dootch thing? Plebbit never asked me for age verification
>>222581634No, the framework has already passed in the EU, the deadline is the end of 2026, we are just one of the first who were hit by it.
>>222581679as far as I can tell you're the only Dutch person with this issue
How’d come you does not have freedom?
It's grim how there's just no pushback against this.
we have to protect the childrens
>>222582284the logic of keeping the kids safe is sound to boomers and if you start rambling about online anonymity you sound like some tinfoilhat and no one wants to hear that
>>222581456Yes. Just today an expert commission recommended blocking the internet for children and youths to the government. They say the internet is "a danger to the mental health" of children, and anyway other countries are also forbidding social media for youngsters. They also say that the social media providers have a minimum age, but they don't enforce it, so the government has to pass laws.I for one will not upload my ID just so that hackers will get it and abuse it. If a mandatory ID check comes, then that will be the end of that social media for me.
>>222582547guess they want kids doing booze and drugs instead
>>222582547>blocking the internet for children and youths to the government.Entirely? That's insane.
>>222582604That's another report that came out today. It said the percentage of people below the age of 25 that have tried drugs has increased. It also said that alarmingly the ones that have tried cocaine has tripled.>>222582704I guess they'll have to allow some platforms because they expect the kids to learn some "media competency" and get some help/information for their homework. But addictive platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube that present you with infinite content that will never end are criticized. After all there was one lawsuit won in the United States where a young woman got millions of dollars because the court felt she was willfully addicted to content by the providers and that had harmed her mental health. It's seen as an important precedent for people over here that are "experts" for government commissions.
>>222582547That's a good thing honestly. I ruined my youth by wasting my life on shitty online forums instead of making friends and learning how to socialize. If social media was banned when I was a kid I have no doubts my life would be better than it is now.
>>222581456nah im older than you, also not from a cuckstate such netherlands
>>222582917There's not much actual research data for this, so I'm skeptical. I suspect it might be better to introduce children from the age of say 14 to social media, but also teach them that it's addctive and how to handle doom scrolling urges and online bullying. The reason for this is that I know of a study that found that children whose parents have withheld sweets and chocolate from them when they were young more often than not end up overcompensating for that when they're older and can buy sweets and chocolate for themselves.I'm anything but sure how all of this should be handled, and I hope they'll find out and we'll know in about 10 years or so.
>>222582917outside is full of ethnic diversity now
>>222581456Good thing I'm not euROPEean.
>>222581567Because we dont go to their homes with ropes and torches in the dead of night to send a message.
>>222582547Not to mention, that they always try to push chat control and also try to make laws about the usage or operation of VPN. Man all that shit is the wet dream of the Stasi. Guess it's time to learn to use Tor I guess.
>>222583546Crazy how literally every western government is pushing this at the same time.
>>222581567Capital interests. Advertisers and sites in business with advertisers are having their entire business model ruined by bots. You have no way of knowing if you’re actually buying exposure or just waving your ads infront of a Bangladeshi shill agency.
>>222583872Do people genuinely buy shit because of ads?I always google the things im interested in whenever I NEED them, never have I ever looked at an ad without specifically looking for one and thought "yeah, im gonna buy this."
>>222585932Of course they do. Else no one would run ads
>>222586105Also you might not buy the product they are promoting, but you gonna remember their name and their existens will burn into your brain.
>>222581581Anon...
>>222581456Lmao at the absolute state of euROPE! What a dystopian shithole.
>>222589941>Happens in most obvs cuck timmy places such cucktch and bongladesh>im so proud to be thridieJust wow..
>>222582917What absolute bullshit. Videogames, youtube music, anime, movies, manga, forums, porn etc are the best things to ever happen to me. Everything else was trying to make me suicide.
>>222583673it's because normalfags realized israel is kinda lowkey evil fr fr, it's why tiktok was forced to sell after all
>>222582284Some hackers bringing it all down is the best chance for it.
>>222582284There will be when karen has her child raped by someone too retarded to bypass it.
>>222581620Kek if it gets ignored all the social media sites that went along with it will have shot themselves in the foot.
>>222591482Your time will come soon as well, finshit.Reply to me next time when your shithole has loads of legal websites that allow you to download anything you want for free with crack + keygen + patch.
>>222591719Finn is Eternal, we already swiped sumer when we came Europe :D
>>222591759All I can say is that my bare minimum of respect for Fanland comes from Apu and Spurdo.
>>222591824Its acceptable understanding your racial background and limited capacity, im not here to shame brown pipo
>>222591862>Tries to pull a gotcha moment>Posts a Swedish boring cartoonFinshit (yellow snowmonkey) intelligence on finest display.
>>222591948not bad, but you should have also noticed it were basicly automatic reply with no even intention to strike
>>222592032Ogay, catch you later then.
You're all welcome, btw
>>222581456we have the law, but not everything yetonly for porn half the sites ask for ID/face thing
>>222581456>>222581620just make one up
>>222582704Yeah, FUCK'EM. They can read a book from 100 years ago for information.
>>222585932If's funny because I always get ads for something AFTER I buy it.Just bought new shoes, now I get ads for shoes, which I (aggressively) do not need because I have new shoes at this very moment.Lol.
>>222581620>verify their identity to use social media sitesoh no! the horror of not being able to use tiktok!
I just want the old internet back
>>222592249Everyone were getting this either way. As pointed out it’s just a profitable move for literally everyone who does business on the internet. It has very little to do with any one governments social policies. The English speaking web will take years to catch up but the effects will be seen very quickly on all the micro ethno bubbles. “Where is all the insane schizo posting? Where is all the one sentence posts in broken (micro language)? Why does everyone have such low views all of the sudden? Why does everyone seem like such normies again?”Basically a purge of botfarms being paid for everything from propaganda to shilling to engagement farming.
Download opera and use a VPN? That’s how I have to browse porn these days in my cunt unfortunately.
>>222582917I spent my youth outside being social but I never learned how to be like normies and still ended up here.
>>222593741that only works as long as there exist countries that don't have ID laws
>>222581456It's about to happen
>>222581456youtube kept asking me for photo of my face so I scanned a picture of an old black man on google
Maybe I finally get to my books and movie collection when this happens across all platforms. That would be time better spent.
>>222581620Lmao who the fuck said that you dumbass, Whoresula von der Juden said she wants to bring forth a relevant legislation for voting but it hasn't happened yetStop spreading bs around
>>222583106I don't know, my mom told me she was careful with sweets when I was a kid, we almost never had soda, and it kinda worked, I don't have a sweet tooth at all, I don't crave sugar, I often refuse candy, it doesn't do anything for me
>>222581456First the came for the brits, and I said nothing...
>>222598175I envy you. I have an addictive character trait or whatever you call it. It runs in the family. Had a problem with cannabis for a while, got treatment, switched to sugar, and found it difficult to get away from the sugar again. The only good thing is that I never was an alcoholic or user of hard drugs.What I might mention: When I was in the hospital getting treatment, they had an addiction ward right next door, and on that ward even strong coffee and video games were forbidden. I asked a nurse and she said addicts often swtich one addiction with another, like they have to give up drugs and then watch Tiktok on their phones until 4 in the morning instead. It has something to do with how brain chemicals work.
>>222600145First they came for the Britbongs, and i laughed...Then porn sites asked me for my driver loicense too, and i no longer laughed...
