The primary concern for segregate and suppress laws(age verification) is the invasive ways it need to do it

Credit card

Face scans

Face scans as seen here,imagine a state linking online activities with offline age verification.

Call and email and send they remove age verification.

While this is yet another example of the dangers of age verification. Its truly is wild that a conversation between someone who stole sensitive data and a YouTuber is how we talk about the dangers of government policy.

This is just clown behavior with such high stakes.

Turns out "for child saftey" can been seen through when you think about the long-term infrastructre of technology. Much like Age verification these laws hand large systems of control to gorvernmnents, platforms and 3rd parties.

We took down chat control know to Age verification.🇿🇦🇿🇦

Scope creep was in my letter against this,once you set up the means to restrict you only keep restricting.
People who said the Online Safety Bill was too big, or warned about the danger of scope creep, were too often dismissed as "not caring about child abuse", or "giving criminals a safe space online", or simply as paranoid or "privacy extremists". Well, I've got news for you.

So another thing to highlight when talking to peers and politicians on why south Africa needs to remove age verification. This is not working.
New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification

What know?

We get everyone alert. As we cannot let our free roaming right to the internet be stolen in silence.

Let everyone know it's on the table and to contact their parliament/political leaders to oppose it.

Much like KOSA,OSA we must fight to have it moved.
