The EU is rolling out its official age verification app according to the joint statement<\/a> issued by EU President Ursula von der Leyen and Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen [emphasis added]:<\/p>\n

It is our duty to protect our children in the online world<\/strong>, just as we do in the offline world. And to do that effectively, we need a harmonised European approach. One core topic is the question: how can we ensure that there is a Europe-wide technical solution for age verification? Today, I can announce that we have the answer. Our European age verification app is technically ready and soon available for citizens to use.<\/p>\n

The aim of the app is allegedly to \u201cprotect children\u201d.<\/p>\n

Of course, we know that\u2019s a lie. A lie so dated and tiresome it\u2019s become dull to refute it.<\/p>\n

The idea of \u201cprotecting kids online\u201d wasn\u2019t even mentioned when the pilot schemes for the EU Digital Identity Wallet were launched two years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, the solution actually predates the problem in this instance, that\u2019s how transparently manipulative this propaganda has become.<\/p>\n

It is plainly obviously to anyone who has been paying attention that the rapid and widespread adoption of age-verification laws around the world has nothing to do with protecting kids<\/em>, and everything to do with ending online anonymity for adults and children alike<\/p>\n

Softening the public on digital identity plans that have been in place for years<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Of course, none of the mainstream coverage mentions any part of this broader agenda, they just follow the party line, as ever.<\/p>\n

Time Magazine regurgitates von der Leyen\u2019s \u201cno more excuses line\u201d<\/a>, and offers only a cursory explanation of what the app does. Politico does exactly the same<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In their headline Deutsche Welle don\u2019t even have the integrity to put \u201cprotect children online\u201d in quotation marks:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

No qualification or interrogation of the claims made by authority \u2013 it is state stenographer journalism of the worst kind.<\/p>\n

CNN disingenuously refer to it as a \u201csort of\u201d digital identity card:<\/p>\n
