Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.
I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.
This is not a drill.
If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.
They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

A thread to Stop ID Surveillance from coming to Canada ⛔️🧵
Yesterday, I sent a long letter the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Culture Minister Marc Miller, and the leaders of all other major federal parties in Canada.
I sent this letter to voice my concerns about the upcoming bill that is planned to be introduced today at 5 p.m. ET, to propose a ban of social media for children, therefore requiring all social media platforms to identify every adults accessing it.
This is a long thread of what I wrote (mute me for one hour if you don't want to see it).
Feel free to copy any parts you want to share in your own letter of opposition sent to your representatives this week.

Today, the Canadian government wants to introduce a bill banning social media for children under 16.
This means requiring ID from every adults who want to access social media. This is a privacy and democracy nightmare.
"Ottawa is set to introduce legislation to enact what the government is calling the Digital Safety Act and the Digital Safety Commission of Canada Act.
It’s expected to be introduced later Wednesday, with Culture Minister Marc Miller holding a news conference at 5 p.m. ET after a technical briefing."

In reality, what they call age verification is abusive ID surveillance checks for everyone.
Start calling it what it is:
ID Surveillance.
We must all fight to Stop ID Surveillance.

PRIVACY ALERT!
Please boost for reach! 🚨👇
The Canadian government is planning
to introduce a bill on Wednesday, June 10th, to mandate identity surveillance of every adult using social media in Canada! 👁️🗨️
https://globalnews.ca/news/11894610/canada-social-media-ban-teens-online-harms-bill/
A ban on social media for children
does nothing to reduce the harm caused by commercial social media. Instead, it means mandatory ID scans for every adult using social media.
We must stop this authoritarian proposal,
and demand our government focuses instead on reducing the harm for everyone using social media.
It has been explained by experts over and over that bans of social media are shortsighted lazy measures that do not help in the end, but in fact harm everyone, including the children.
Stop ID surveillance in Canada! ✊⛔️
