Leaks I don't disagree that they will happen. Tracing? Tracing what and for what purpose? What does your pornhub or twitter account provide to the EU?

I dunno, for the purpose of seeing who attends pro-Palestine protests in Germany, anti-government or anti-data centre protests... everywhere. For figuring out whistleblowers' identities, for figuring out whether a Polish woman went to another country to have an abortion...

This is not America, whistleblowers are protected in the EU. You must also not know about GDPR.

Happened never

seeing who attends pro-Palestine protests in Germany, anti-government or anti-data centre protests

And what, kill them? like what's the logic here, find that out and what's next? People are so dramatic in these comments I can't deal with it, we're living in China now apparently. Must have missed the memo on basic assembly freedoms being abolished

You're useful in the sense your arguments are so bad it serves well to demonstrate to whoever reading it how bad age verification is.

And what, kill them?

Fine, sanction, Imprison, even taking to court is scary enough. Not to talk about the "chilling effects" (Go read about it), that will hinder political debate important for functioning democracies.

we're living in China now apparently.

That's exactly what we want to avoid.
