You know how they are adding age verification on the internet?
If something similar gets whooped by backlash from the people and ends up being withdrawn, imagine what that'd mean for the "KIDS act" or the "Online Safety Act".
What's that saying? "Never interrupt your enemy when he's making mistakes."?
What do you guys think?

Joint Statement: UK policymakers must prioritise addressing the roots of online harm, not undermining the open web
I'm trying to write a letter to my mp and other representatives to shed light on this open letter on not undermining the open internet. I fear not only the data and survailience but also a monopoly for platforms such as Facebook, Twitter ect.
Joint statement - https://www.openrightsgroup.org/app/uploads/2026/05/UK-joint-statement-against-age-gates.pdf
"The expansion of age verification risks entrenching the dominance of major app stores and platform gatekeepers, turning the web into “a patchwork of age-gated jurisdictions” rather than a globally accessible resource." - https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/companies-and-civil-society-warn-that-uk-is-undermining-open-web/
