Access to information shouldn't be ransomed for our personal data.
We’ve gone from ID checks for porn to potentially age-gating social media, livestreams, websites and more.
Safety doesn't come from a surveillance-based Internet 🚫
Respond to the UK consultation by 26 May ➡️ https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation

  Growing up in the online world: a national consultation
  We are consulting on further measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as gaming sites and AI chatbots, restrictions on addictive design features and risky functionalities, and better support for parents and families.
2. Online ID checks affect everyone, not just kids. Proposals for social media bans and restricted web access require ever more ID checkpoints across the Internet. Challenge everyone – Adults, not just children, have to upload ID documents, facial scans, or other sensitive data to access lawful online services. Major privacy and security risks – Biometric and identity data can be breached, misused or repurposed. Dangerous mission creep – Online ID checks may affect access to many sites, forums, games and VPNs, not just social media.
