By connecting the age verification (and the ID) to browsing habits and communication, it would also allow registration of the political opinions of every citizen. From there, it's all downhill until we have a new Gestapo.
Resist in every way you can. Before it's too late.

Choose one: #Democracy or #MassSurveillance
#ChatControl and similar proposals are fundamentally incompatible with a democratic #EU.
However, they are perfect for actors who want an authoritarian EU with mandatory age restrictions (ID verification) just to participate in democratic discourse.

Good arguments by @npub1fdr…lvhs on why we need to focus on liberating people who are forcibly locked into Big Tech.
> #Mastodon 's progenitors should be praised for ensuring their creation was born free – but the fact that #Bluesky isn't free enough is no reason to turn our back on it. Our response to anything that locks in the people we care about must be to *shatter those locks*, not abandon the people bound by the locks because they didn't heed to our warnings.

Thanks for the update! It's an interesting tradeoff to potentially let a third party decrypt the incoming traffic to get less to maintain yourselves, but of course much better to build your own solution and keep full control. Especially for a critical service.
It would be interesting to learn about first-party #DDoS mitigation techniques that could be used in other projects where #E2EE is essential. However, I suspect the implementation details used for Tuta can't be shared publicly.

Thanks for researching and writing this! Excited to see how things develop. The fediverse and Mastodon seem to have a much more robust foundation, and aligns well with a more distributed tech ecosystem.
