You don't seriously believe all these random Western countries just coincidentally decided to roll out under-16 social media bans at the exact same time—"to protect children"—without centralised supranational coordination by technocratic "elites" you never voted for, do you? 🙄
In his January 2025 speech to the World Economic Forum, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez laid out the plan to use digital ID to end anonymity online, under the guise of protecting minors from "inappropriate content".
"I propose putting an end to anonymity on social media."
"We are allowing people to roam freely on social networks without linking their profiles to a real identity."
"This is paving the way for misinformation, hate speech, and cyber harassment... It is allowing people to act without being held accountable for their actions."
"In a democracy, citizens have the right to privacy, not to anonymity or impunity."
"That is why I believe we must... force all these platforms to link every user account to an European digital identity wallet."
"This is the only way to really ensure that minors do not access inappropriate content."
