And what do you do when its a requirement to buy food, submit tax returns, get healthcare?

This is the problem people don’t understand. We have the same issue now in the UK. People think a voluntary system is easy ro just ignore until everything you rely and need forces you to starve or submit.

And its not going to stop at just age verification, it’ll continue until all you get to enjoy is maybe a loaf of bread, and some pond water! 🤦‍♂️

    I might be mistaken, but I don't think a government can force it's citizens to have a phone. There has to be a way to pay your taxes, buy stuff, etc that doesn't rely on you having a phone. Paper money still exists after all.

    It might be possible to live disconnected rather than giving away your privacy. You'll have to say goodbye to social media, but I don't see it as a bad thing.

    It really amazes me that people don’t understand this when governments have done it time and time again but hey ho, hopefully I’m old enough that I might at least die before the worst hits because clearly people are to ignorant to do anything to stop it! 😳

    I’m planning on phoning and irritating people. I make it as awkward as possible. Sorry I have a dumb phone….no worries our staff can process your info…asks 50 questions about privacy….i see them getting pissed off. Ensures to give them my details and I will be making sure they wipe them afterwards due to eu laws.
