Well, in that case, fuck you too.

The EU is the only organization that fairly consistently tries to do the tight thing. Its the only organization from which I regularly hear good news. Just because sometimes they make mid steps doesn't mean they're the devil. World wide, it currently is the best we have.

This age verification shit is literallyhappening everywhere, so dunking on the EU for also doing it is disingenuous at best. That they require hardware attestation for that is more a "if you do something, do it well", so in this case "if you do something stupid, do it very well"

Just to be clear: fuck everything about this, but I'm not so small minded to throw the entire idea of the EU off a cliff just because they do something stupid

Edit: this goes without even talking about how without the EU, Russia would simply start picking off state after state because fuck genocide Putin
