A petition to curb the obsession with de-anonymization in the EU.

Signed.

this is very confusingly written. the use of "voluntary" makes it sound basically ineffective, as it can be read like "no id necessary for places that don't need id"

This initiative is just a smokescreen; it actually pushes things down the slippery slope.

Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless strictly necessary, proportionate and provided by law. The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof-of-age, data minimisation, selective disclosure

Define "necessary". Define "by law". The pushers for proof-of-age already say it's anonymous – but it can't be.

So we shouldn't voice our discontent?
Sorry but that doesn't make sense.

Come up and bring forward a better initative or don't discourage people to use the one already established.
