The EU is launching a new age verification app in July, establishing a tool that will potentially allow for tighter enforcement of rules requiring online platforms to protect minors online.

The link typo hasn’t been fixed in hours,

Whoa, hey, they’re not paid on-call. Give it a few days.

Is there a european version of this?

That wasn’t a question.

This is illegal, they are required to be opt-in, default toggled off.

For seven years, the tracking industry has used the TCF as a legal cover for Real-Time Bidding (RTB), the vast advertising auction system that operates behind the scenes on websites and apps. RTB tracks what Internet users look at and where they go in the real world. It then continuously broadcasts this data to a host of companies, enabling them to keep dossiers on every Internet user.[2] Because there is no security in the RTB system it is impossible to know what then happens to the data. As a result, it is also impossible to provide the necessary information that must accompany a consent request.[3]

In short, RTB makes it impossible for the user to know where his data goes, which is a requirement for consent.

Now make a EU version.

Generally browsing via VPN is not equal to more privacy. It just tells the websites you’re where the server is instead of where you are, while the server might log your full browsing habits even though they promise not to. While legitimate interests, like, ripping you off because you live in a rich country or making sure you’re not in a criminal country, makes browsing with VPN a bad experience.

Instead, you could fake your location at least in Firefox’ about:config.

// fake geo location (HB Zürich here)
user_pref("geo.prompt.testing", true);
user_pref("geo.prompt.testing.allow", true);
user_pref("geo.provider.testing", true);
user_pref("geo.provider.network.url", "data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 47.377, "lng": 8.540}, "accuracy": 2700.0}"");

There’s Zettlr and Typora for WYSIWYG md.

Well, here’s a copy&paste from the KSP JNSQ modpage. Had mostly the forum header and iframes to clean up, not much else. Made in Typora.

Original here.

Your client downloads a XML file and parses it and then maybe downloads some images. There.

If the client itself doesn’t track you, it’s as private as online gets.

Is this legal in EU? I mean not the tool itself but just enabling it by default.

Install PostmarketOS and look at confused faces.
