    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.
