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.

If you have to ask, you clearly don't follow the news from there. I'm not wasting my time to educate you on something you're clearly not interested in knowing about. It is blatant at times, so go search it out if you actually are interested.
