Despite constant reports such as this one, the #KidsAct poses a threat to the foundations of the #Fediverse, not #Meta.
Meta Is Refusing to Remove AI-Generated #Facebook Videos of Graphic Child Abuse, Including a Baby Roasting in an Oven Meta is making it clear: it doesn’t care about AI-generated child abuse videos on its platforms.

Open public consultation on the EU KIDS ACT. If you have opinions about EU rules for children on social media, age verification, concerns about how this will affect the fediverse, etc… here’s the best place to share them: ec.europa.eu/info/…
Linux is exempt from California’s age verification law as long as it is distributed under the GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache licenses
There’s an EU citizen’s #initiative against age verification and the necessity for a digital ID on the internet:
citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiativ…
You can sign it if you are an EU citizen.
Cheers to the Finnish people who are already at almost 10% of the threshold required!
Does anyone have any insights / scoops about the upcoming #EUKidsAct, set to be introduced this Thursday to “age gate” access to social media platforms across the EU? (Thus forcing every citizen to upload their government ID to establish their age)
I’m super worried about the impact on the #OpenSocialWeb and the Fediverse in particular.
I wish they would share a clear description of the platforms affected by this legislation.

🇪🇺 European Citizen’s Initiative against ID age verification online
Just yesterday, Stop Killing the Internet, from the people at @StopKillingGames@mastodon.social, launched an ECI against ID age verification! This is great but it needs 1 million signatures !
So, if you live in #europe, please sign it! If you don’t, or even if you do, still share it around so more people know about it and can sign it!
Reaching the signature threshold will not mean that ID age verification will immediately become illegal, but the subject will be brought to the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu and they’ll have to do SOMETHING about it. This is already a huge step in the right direction!
Please boost and share this post to spread the word! Thank you!
