The EU Kids Act will make private servers illegal as proposed by the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu right now.

@StopKillingGames@mastodon.social One of the things that I found the most offensive were how some companies are apparently exploring potential for "liveness checks" which alongside age verification would require children to regularly take videos of themselves to prove their realness. And you don't need me to tell you how completely awful it is for children to get into the habit of sending video of themselves to strangers upon request. #EU #EU_kids_act

@StopKillingGames@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu nou lekker dan. Hele idee van private servers is dat je just meer controle en veiligheid hebt. Je draait het immers zelf. Allemaal op de "kinderen te beschermen".
