These New Laws Just Might Change How You Use The Internet | Here's How

Age verification laws are spreading fast. Your ID is becoming the price of the internet. Age verification laws, KOSA, and your online privacy are at stake here. And it's not about protecting kids. It's censoring content THEY don't like! So many US states are advancing age verification laws. 19 federal bills are in Congress. Australia, UK, Germany, France and tbf, the world is building a system where your driver's license, biometric scan, or credit card is the price of entry to the internet and so many spaces. And the people writing these laws have already told you what they plan to remove once they know who you are. They want you to believe age verification is about protecting children. It's not. The worst folks are pushing the passing of these particular laws that require identity verification for social media and much more. It's glaringly clear that the people lobbying hardest for these bills aren't child safety advocates but have a self invested interest.
