EU citizens have the opportunity to participate in the “Stop Killing The Internet: No Digital ID & No Age Verification” initiative
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/#/screen/home
Objectives
We call on the European Commission to propose legislation ensuring that digital identity and age-verification systems used to access online services in the Union remain voluntary, privacy-preserving, and non-discriminatory. Citizens must not be forced to identify themselves to access lawful online content or services unless it is strictly necessary, proportionate, and required by law. The legislation should require anonymous or pseudonymous proof of age, data minimization, selective disclosure, open-source implementation, independent security audits, a prohibition on cross-service tracking by relying parties, and equivalent alternatives for citizens who do not use a digital wallet.
