Age verification is not en never was about protecting children. It's about mass surveillance.

"Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years."

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web

Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

A single road death is one too many.

In 2024, 19,940 people lost their lives in road crashes in the EU, a 12% drop compared to 2019.

Progress is real but not enough.

To meet our goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and Vision Zero by 2050, we must accelerate our efforts.

We will focus on safer infrastructure, stronger enforcement, vehicle technologies, new mobility, and road safety research.

Safer roads are not optional. They are essential.

European Commission remains committed to halving road deaths by 2030

The Commission published its report to track progress towards the EU's goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030. While progress has been made in reducing road fatalities, it reveals that the current pace is insufficient.

@EUCommission The only way to reduce road deaths to zero is to ban all vehicles and destroy all the roads.

Some more poorly devised pearl-clutching from this group of clowns.

Policy decisions should be proportionally calibrated, rigorously weighing costs, consequences, and scale rather than pursuing absolutist goals that ignore practical trade-offs and result in disproportionate interventions.

Like #ChatControl scanning all comms of 450million EU citizens to catch a handful of criminals.
