Internet Age-Gates Are a Growing Global Threat

@eff Protecting minors is the excuse, but age verification requires biometric scans. This kills anonymity for everyone, handing real data to Big Tech tied to military surveillance. Privacy is non-negotiable. Vital warning from @eff! #Privacy #EFF #Surveillance
