🇪🇺 The new digital ID & biometric verification law, called EU KIDS ACT must be stopped!

It is a serious Human Rights nightmare, especially for Privacy & would negatively change the internet forever.

We need to stand together & fight this dystopian, authoritarian mass-surveillance movement!

It’s all the same push as in Australia, the US et. - wherever you are, resist it ✊

#STOPEUKIDSACT NOW!

    If this passes, I wonder if any Linux distros will be affected and how, considering the above excerpt.
