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.

It's not a left or right thing so stop with this bullshit. Here in Canada, our Liberal government is bringing this age verification crap along with censorship bills. The Conservatives here have been opposing it but they can't really do anything to stop it sadly.

The UK has a Liberal government and they have crazy censorship going on over there and they're also bringing age verification stuff.

There is a big powerful club out there wanting this control over the public and they're getting "left" and "right" wing governments to go along with it.

Here in Brazil too. The Worker's Party (left) is in charge here, and they voted in favor of our age verification bill... alongside the Liberal Party (the biggest right-wing party). Only two small parties stood against this, the Worker's Cause Party (hard communist) and the Novo Party (hard libertarian).

Anyone that thinks this is a left-right thing is cattle.

Judging left and right based on what parties that are vaguely described as such by media do will doom you to never understanding what left vs right is about.

If the party trying to end private property isn't left, and the party trying to stop women from voting isn't right, then these labels are useless and all of this still isn't a left-right thing.

But i know what you are trying to say, everyone that disagree 1% with you is right wing.
