It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children.

It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries are trying to implement this wider internet control at the same time.

Feels like a major push toward authoritarianism to me.

It's messed up how the people always have to fight to wrest any rights from those in power, and then fight even harder to keep them!

You're probanly right. I do remember reading this post about a guy who traced pretty much all age verification law proposals in the USA back to Meta and their representatives.

IIRC it's because it's more difficult for smaller companies to pay for age verification services thus eliminating the competition of big tech
