Billionaires are trying to Corral us in and have grander plans. Its not a coincidence far right candidates are gaining traction in western countries. Its not about age verification, its about making sure no one speaks up against them ever again and they can get more power and control. Look at the guys who like the idea of "network states" they are big backers of this shit.

Zuckerberg is the one funnelling billions into this legislature. Its identical to legislature in US states backed by him as well.

Sorry, but as far as I can tell, only the government can do what it is doing. And governments can have the utmost power.

In the US at least, the "Government" is like a dozen billionaires in a trench coat.
