O w l l i e 🦉 @eternowllie.bsky.social · 48mIk I've talked about this already, in a less serious way, but it's not far-fetched to think the UK won't copy this. I don't have a passport. A lot of people in the UK don't. I imagine similar is true in Australia. This isn't about kids, it's about shutting us all out of social media. 110

O w l l i e 🦉 @eternowllie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So apparently the EU KIDS Act stands for "Keeping Internet Digital Spaces Accountable and Trustworthy" ... Act.
