Because the UK has already an invasive strict age verification system in place. Where in the EU is that slready the case as well? Certainly noz on EU level or in Austria. Their are ambitions in that direction however.

    We need to be proactive opposing this crap before it becomes a norm. Because once they get their way it's nearly impossible to make them back of their stupid dumb shit. Especially when it's "to protect the children".

    We also need to be making sure to have backup plans like Squidward has clocks.

    The ruling class has an instinctual need to surveil their subjects. They won't stop until they get what they want. It doesn't matter what the public thinks.
