Yet, forcing EVERYONE to verify their age won't stop harm - but put all of us under surveillance.

Today, we've signed an open letter together with @mullvad @Tor @mozilla & others to stop in the UK 💪

Do you know what's the saddest part about this AV Digital-Stasi bullshit? That the only people it protects are actual abusers.
How, you may ask? Well, in a place where there are no kids, no kid knows that they're being abused or handled as an abuse material. Because you know, to those people, kids = lesser beings/things/merchandise.
Introducing AV removes the kids' tools for self-defence. Because one can't defend themselves against the threat they don't know about and can't report to anyone. And keep in mind that abusers come from the circles closest to the kids. Because abuser needs to know the victim really well.
Think about it next time you think this crap is a good idea.
