EU proposal under fire as critics warn of mass surveillance
Original: # EU # kidsact explained: how # Europe plans to # ruin the # internet # LouisRossmann # Privacy # Security # Surveillanc
Tech repair advocate Louis Rossmann has released a video arguing that the EU's child safety proposal, often called the Kids Act, would effectively 'ruin the internet' for European users. Privacy and security communities are sharing his explanation widely, framing the measures as surveillance and mass data collection rather than child protection, and warning about age verification and monitoring requirements for online platforms.
Why now: Privacy advocates are actively debating the EU's child safety proposal, which they see as a step toward mass online surveillance.
