Find your EU representatives here https://fightchatcontrol.eu/#delegates enter your country in the dropdown box to get the list.
Then write them you don’t want mandatory age verification, let alone VPN bans. Even the age verification itself is highly controversial: https://www.techdirt.com/2026/01/21/two-major-studies-125000-kids-the-social-media-panic-doesnt-hold-up/ https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/11/6/britain-calls-it-safety-it-is-censorship https://www.eff.org/pages/age-verification-wont-protect-children https://pluralistic.net/2025/08/14/bellovin/ Explain that it seems to be unclear if it will even help kids, and even if it does, it seems unclear if the damage to a free society will be worth it.
(Please note ChatControl has no direct connection to this as far as I’m aware, that website just happens to have an easy to access list of representatives.)
I call age verification a loophole that needs closing in human rights laws.
BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. PLEASE DEPOSIT YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THE BIN ON YOUR WAY OUT THANK YOU!
