Coming to a website near you this summer: the European Commission is close to a ‘solution’ that could force people to use their government-issued ID to get online. EDRi and EFF’s concerns about threats to everyone’s privacy and data protection, a chilling effect on access to information, and digital exclusion – harming the already most marginalised in society - remain unsolved.
Hey EU? Do you remember when you forced every website to ask for permission to store cookies and made the entire web immeasurably worse to use without in any way having a positive impact on people’s right to some fucking privacy?
Yeah.

Another episode of EU trying to kill internet. People are already switching from websites to chats because websites are not usable after all those laws, if they ban chats people will switch to something else. The number of protocols are unlimited.
