As a Turkish citizen, I cannot stand this. Wake up! Turn to FOSS and Decentralized applications. The new pandemic is "identity verification" and every country is about to fall into this trap. (lemmy.ml)

their intention is not to verify your age. Their intention is to eliminate all opponents and send them to jail, oppress him etc. Everything else is just a lie and excuse. That is why you cant trust governments. You can not trust them! if even they are today honest, we can not guarantee they will not on spy us tomorrow

    Agreed. Even if the government states that isn't the case, having the capacity to crack down on political opposition is unacceptable.

    What I am saying is we need to figure a way to verify personhood (and maybe age idk) external to the government.

    For example, people didn't think currency could exist outside a centralized government, but crypto-currencies exist now.
