EU parliament accepted a last minute amendment, mandating age verification for pornographic (whatever that is) content online, punishable with up to one year prison sentence.

This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?

No chance we could just... you know... tell the parents to start parenting for once? Like... idk... using the fucking parental controls in the devices they give their children and checking every once in a while what are they doing online?

"Those" parents: "The State can not tell me how to raise my child!"

Two weeks later when the State has not told them how to raise their children:

"Waaah waaah! Raising kids too hard! The State should do it for me!"

Can't wait to have to show id on every website, especially ones on which I say what I think about my government (that jails people for that)

Sneaking giant bombshell as a last minute amendment – that sure reminds me of certain authocracy's legislative practices
