Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that everyone in the EU will need to use the EU's app for identity authentication before being able to access or post on social media websites.

🇪🇺 As an expert in online child safety, I am here to expose the misinformation and misdirection in von der Leyen's statements.

Today von der Leyen said:

"This is not about whether children can access social media, it is about whether social media can access our children".

💡The first part is true. This isn't about children. It's about surveillance and combating political dissent. A state that can't control its own citizens is more dangerous than a state rife with criminals. The second part is a PR soundbite that politicians are using like a campaign slogan straight out of 1984.

🇪🇺"The question is no longer if children face risks online, but what can we do to give children a safer start online".

💡No. You can't give children a "safer start" online any more than you can offline. In the offline world, the government doesn't enforce curfews or ban children from entering liquor stores, bars or restaurants. That's a parent's responsibility. The digital world should be no different.

🇪🇺"The age verification app is one of the tools to get it done".

💡This is a contradiction because she also said "It won't be foolproof".

🇪🇺"It's easy to use, it is privacy preserving and it is open source".

💡The app was compromised as soon as it was released. "Privacy-preserving" age verification is an oxymoron. You can't verify a person's age without verifying their identity. Where or how that age is shared afterwards is irrelevant.

🇪🇺"This is basically about putting back the power into the hands of parents".

💡More from 1984. The EU is doing the opposite. Parents are having their authority stripped by politicians who think they know better. Many parents are capable and unaffected by peer pressure, and they know how to use parental controls to block any app classified as 13+. Some teens are safe, their parents trust them, and the state has no business overruling that trust.

🇪🇺"We don't give our children keys to the car before they have their licence"

💡Comparing an app to a car is a false equivalence used to justify mass surveillance. Governments don't decide when a young person is ready for car keys, guardians do.

💡Forcing every adult and child into a biometric checkpoint just to use an app or website is not licensing drivers. It's the state seizing everyone's keys, locking the garage, and forcing every driver to ask a private company for permission to take a drive.

💡 This is a gross, unethical overreach that strips authority from parents while imposing state sanctioned identity verification on every adult who doesn't even have a child.

💡Additionally, people who pass a test, obtain a licence and drive a car aren't forced to use an app to constantly authenticate their suitability to drive.

🇪🇺"We do not let them buy alcohol until they are legally allowed"

💡False equivalence. We don't force every person to show ID at a shopping mall entrance just because a few people might buy alcohol with a meal at a restaurant. Some parents are okay with their 12 year-old going to the mall with friends while others aren't. Either way, it's their choice. Whatever irresponsible decisions some parents might make, every adult in the country shouldn't be forced to pay the price.

🇪🇺"It won't be foolproof"

💡This is all the proof we need to show that the EU and every government know that banning social media for teens won't protect them. When pressed by journalists about VPNs being used to circumvent a ban, politicians always state the ban isn't a silver bullet and will take time. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan went as far as to say "we know it's not the solution".

💡Either age verification works, or it doesn't. As a technical expert in this space, I can tell you there are no additional steps to take and no progress to be made. Either the approach does what it is supposed to do, or it's not fit for purpose. If they claim a bulletproof solution is coming, it can only mean one thing. They intend to ban or restrict VPNs to people who verify their identity.

🇪🇺"It will take time to invite the cultural change that is already taking shape in our society, just as it took time to outlaw drink driving, just as it took time to use seatbelts in the cars. Great change never happens overnight, but when it comes to our safety it is always worth it".

💡Comparing a social media ban and age verification to seatbelts is a completely broken analogy. Seatbelts are a safety feature that protects children while allowing them to travel in a car. A ban doesn't give kids a seatbelt. It kicks them out of the car entirely.

💡Instead of supporting parents who want to guide their own children through the digital world, this heavy-handed law strips away parental authority by banning the apps and websites that many parents are perfectly fine with and actively monitor.

💡Furthermore, enforcing these bans requires biometric age verification, which means forcing millions of adult citizens to scan their IDs, faces or credit cards just to browse the internet. That isn't a common-sense traffic law.

💡It's a digital checkpoint on every street. True safety means teaching kids how to navigate the digital world safely with real guardrails and parental guidance, not burning down digital spaces for everyone under the guise of protection.

🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to ban teens from social media so every person is forced to verify their identity before they can read, share or post anything online. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous content.

🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to enforce "Chat Control" so every app has to monitor everything people say privately inside it, including apps with end-to-end encryption. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous criminals.

💡Where this ends

🇪🇺 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever".

George Orwell, 1984.

🇪🇺☠️ CHATKONTROLLE 1.0 - WELCHE APPS JETZT LÖSCHEN?

📋 WAS GESTERN WIRKLICH BESCHLOSSEN WURDE

Anbieter dürfen deine unverschlüsselten Nachrichten, Fotos und Dateien automatisch durchleuchten. Google und Meta stehen namentlich in den Berichten. Noch ist es freiwillig, noch beschränkt auf alles, was nicht Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt ist. Das ist Chatkontrolle 1.0.

⏳ AB WANN ES GILT

Endgültig durch ist es noch nicht. Der Text geht zurück an den Rat, der ihn binnen drei Monaten unverändert annehmen muss, sonst kommt ein Vermittlungsverfahren. Die alte Ausnahme lief schon im April aus, es gibt also Druck, schnell zu schließen. Realistisch reden wir über Herbst, nicht über irgendwann.

🇪🇺 WEN ES TRIFFT

Jeden in der EU, der im Klartext kommuniziert. Die Direktnachrichten bei Instagram und Facebook Messenger, dein Gmail- oder Outlook-Postfach, die Bilder in einer normalen Cloud, der Chat in einem Spiel. Alles, was unverschlüsselt über einen fremden Server läuft, ist scanbar. Kein Verdacht nötig, kein Anlass. Das ist der Punkt, der mich am meisten stört: nicht der Kriminelle wird durchleuchtet, sondern erstmal jeder.

🔒 WAS CHATKONTROLLE 2.0 IST

Hier wird es ernst. 2.0 ist die dauerhafte Verordnung, die seit Jahren im Trilog feststeckt. Sie will das sogenannte Client-Side-Scanning: eine Durchleuchtung direkt auf deinem Gerät, bevor die Nachricht überhaupt verschlüsselt wird. Damit fällt genau der Schutz, der dich heute noch rettet. Der Rat hat sich Ende November auf eine Version ohne Scan-Pflicht geeinigt, das Parlament will die Pflicht nur als letztes Mittel bei Verdacht - und jetzt zeigen sich beide Seiten offen für einen Kompromiss. Das ist der eigentliche Angriff, nicht die Abstimmung von gestern.

📱 WELCHE APPS RUNTER, WELCHE DRAUF

Der Teil, den ihr am meisten gefragt habt.

- Nachrichten: raus aus WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger und Instagram-DMs, rein in Signal, Threema oder Session, wo Ende-zu-Ende Standard ist und keine Zusatzoption.
- E-Mail: Tuta oder Proton Mail statt der Google- und Microsoft-Postfächer, die offen für den Scan liegen.
- Ganz ohne Server, der überhaupt etwas über dich weiß: SimpleX oder Keet.
- Betriebssystem für die Konsequenten: GrapheneOS oder LineageOS statt der Werksversion.

Ehrlich dazu: Gegen 1.0 schützt dich Verschlüsselung heute noch, ein verschlüsselter Messenger bleibt vorerst außerhalb der Reichweite. Der Wechsel ist also weniger Panik vor gestern als Vorsorge gegen das, was mit 2.0 kommen soll. Und ich unterschätze die Hürde nicht - für die meisten ist WhatsApp die Familie, die Arbeit, das halbe Leben. Ich stecke selbst mitten im Umzug, App für App.

🧵 WORAUF DAS ALLES HINAUSLÄUFT

Die einzelnen Bausteine klingen jeder für sich harmlos. Eine freiwillige Ausnahme hier, ein Kinderschutz-Argument da, eine digitale ID daneben. Zusammengesetzt ergibt sich ein System, in dem Mitlesen der Normalzustand wird - und die Methode ist jedes Mal dieselbe: erst freiwillig und eng, dann, wenn keiner mehr widerspricht, verpflichtend. Genau deshalb ist 1.0 nicht das Ende der Geschichte, sondern die Generalprobe.

Heute schützt dich Verschlüsselung noch. 2.0 wurde genau dafür geschrieben, dass sie es bald nicht mehr tut.

@rabbriansamuel Amen! This is literally our blessed hope—cause the dumpster fire of the world falling apart around us surely is NOT the kingdom “now”. It’s a far cry from what the prophets describe!

[Rabbi Brian Samuel @rabbriansamuel]

If you believe that Yeshua will return to save Israel and establish His Kingdom on earth, do not let others dismiss you with labels like “Dispy” or by associating you with people you have no connection, like Darby or Scofield.

You are being biblical, standing firmly upon God’s Word, and understanding His scriptural promises exactly as they are written.

Period.

🇩🇪 ALICE WEIDEL CALLS OUT ‘CHAT CONTROL’ TYRANTS

The EU has succeeded: Chat Control is coming.
Next, they will persecute your for offensive DMs.

@Alice_Weidel cites Orwell:
“Some animals are more equal than others.”

The German party with the most amount of supporters for Chat Control were the CDU globalists under Chancellor Merz.

[World. Intel. @World_1ntel]

@MarioNawfal "It's for your own good" they say.. that's how it always starts.
"Let us control every aspect of your life - We'll keep you safe" is the next step.
And after total control the real struggle begins. .

Those who forget the bloody pages of history are bound to relive it.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇪🇺 The EU just passed Chat Control 1.0 in Brussels.

Platforms can now scan your private messages again, officially "voluntary," in practice blanket surveillance.

Here's the democratic scandal: 314 MEPs voted against it. Only 276 voted for it.

It passed anyway... because an absolute majority of all MEPs was required to reject it, not just a majority of those present.

More people voted no than yes. It still passed.

Pushed through on an urgent procedure just before summer recess, when absences are highest and attention is lowest.

This is how rights disappear folks. Not in one dramatic moment, but in procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone's looking at Tehran.

BREAKING:

The EU today introduced the new requirement for all new cars registered in Europe to have installed cameras filming the driver’s face.

The system is called Advanced Driver Distraction Warning, ADDW, and is part of the EU’s General Safety Regulation.

The camera tracks the driver’s gaze, head movements and attention.

According to the regulations, the system must be active from 20 kilometers per hour. At lower speeds, it should be able to warn if the driver looks away for too long, while the requirements become stricter at higher speeds.

The requirement does not yet mean any obligation to record the driver for the authorities.

Critics warn that the technology could pave the way for more extensive monitoring and recording in the car once the cameras, sensors and software are installed.

🚨BREAKING: UK GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUTUBE ALGORITHM

This is pure authoritarianism

Keir Starmer's/Andy Burnham's Government is set to control the YouTube algorithm by LAW stipulating that they must push "APPROVED CONTENT" to UK Citizens

And independent voices who criticise the government will be pushed to the back of the queue making it harder for people to find

YouTube has acknowledged this is happening

This must be stopped

For years, the media called Israel paranoid.

But today, UNRWA just quietly fired 70 of its employees in Gaza because they were linked to terror organizations.

Israel was right all along. Why is the world still funding an agency that employs terrorists? It is time to defund UNRWA permanently.

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

[James McMurdock MP @JMcMurdockMP]

I can’t let this go unchallenged.

That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault.

The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.

The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence.

What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim.

The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier.

In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

A young Englishman gets attacked by 3 foreigners.

He’s then quickly tackled by 2 female police officers who tell him that he’s a “dick.”

They proceed to two-tier arrest him
