Comment on Stop Killing The Internet: No Digital ID & No Age Verification | European Citizens' Initiative

This initiative is just a smokescreen:
Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law. The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof-of-age, data minimisation, selective disclosure
Define “necessary”. Define “by law”. The pushers for proof-of-age already say it’s anonymous – but it can’t be.

How it’s written seems suspiciously similar to how it’s currently being pushed to be implemented. Additionally it opens up the possibility of it being “pseudonymous”, that in practice terms is equivalent to “anonymous unless you put in some effort to identify the person”
