Following our presentations and gala this weekend in Brussels on the Digital Fairness Act, #StopKillingInternet has released a press statement on the Kids Act: docs.proton.me/doc?mode=open… Remember to sign the Initiative!: eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public The @EU_Commission is still allowing public comments on the Kids Act proposal (remember to be polite; your comment will likely be ignored if you're not): ec.europa.eu/info/law/better…

The @EU_Commission said no to legislation with the Stop Destroying Videogames European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). We're taking the fight to the Digital Fairness Act. Join us in Brussels on Saturday 17 October for Fair Play in the Digital Fairness Act! 📅 Sat 17 Oct, 15:30 to 18:30 CEST 📍 Steigenberger Hotel, Brussels Register: opnform.com/forms/event-regi… Co-organised with Internet Archive Europe 🎮Panel 1 | Ownership 2.0: you bought it, who owns it? If a publisher can switch off a game you paid for, did you ever own it?

Panel 2 | Papers, please: the internet after age verification Paul Diegel, James Baker and Professor @bpreneel1 of @KU_Leuven on age checks, ID checks and the lessons of the Discord breach.

Ross of @accursedfarms explains how the EU Kids Act is cover for making private servers without age verification illegal, and doing the exact opposite of protecting kids in order to establish a surveillance state. Here's how to fight back: -Sign and spread the #StopKillingInternet Initiative if you're an EU citizen of voting age (friends and family count too!): eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/ - Leave a public comment about the EU Kids Act Be polite and civil. This isn't Twitter or social media, but a direct public comment to the Commission. They're under no obligation to take people seriously if people misbehave or get out of hand. Write like you'll have to give your comment in person to your town hall or local government: ec.europa.eu/info/law/better… - Read up on the EU Kids Act: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-cont… - The leaked proposal of the Kids Act: drive.proton.me/urls/7FGQYQ0… - Contact your Member of European Parliament about your opposition to the Kids Act, and why they should also be opposed to it: europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/h… - Spread the word and this video far and wide! Let the public know what is happening!
