Please look a the video it will explain the problem whole lot better than I ever could. But if you think it is important please sign the petition.
The EU Commision is rolling out a law that will severly impede our rights when it comes to digital products.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore :(
This timeline sucks balls.
Oh and it is not only games. Has anyone a idea how to implement age verification for the fediverse? So have fun here as long as it lasts, because it will all burn under this law!
I really wish we would move to some more resilient protocol, where the roles and responsibilities are more distributed, and identities fully portable.
So the European Comission will not act on the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative, because it wants to focus on deregulation, because apparently current regulations are too much of a burden on businesses (source needed).
And the same European Comission is perfectly fine implementing new regulations for the purposes of… ruining everything for everybody and establishing close to the most totalitarian regime in existence right now?
See, there’s always space for new regulation, as long as it benefits the oligarchs, and nobody else but the oligarchs!
Lobbying is corruption and the EU got ruined by it just like the USA.
Private Servers illegal? What the fuck?
The purpose of nearly all Internet regulations is to make sure only the largest, richest tech companies in the world can comply with them and survive.
https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence is a 30-year-old document, but absolutely still relevant and utopian.
This is the feeling of hope i miss from the past. I really wish to feel it again.
We have collectively entered the hell version of our timeline, all hope is lost!
EU petition to stop that law: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/#/screen/home
This law will literally end indie game studios in the EU. Or at least prevent them from selling in the continent they are based in.
Online ID should only be legally mandated in cases where KYC (know your customer) laws exist, like financial services.
If you want to protect children, make them use devices that are locked down and block adult content. Online service providers should at most be required to mark such content with metadata.
KYC laws should be mandatory for any service that allows you to type the terrorist codeword characters “Palestine” into a text box especially where someone under the age of 500,000$ stock portfolio can see it
