Age verification for the internet is the end of human rights and freedom of speech for generations to come: not only in the EU, UK - also in the US.

We are watching the freedom values of Western civilization collapse — adopting the same digital cage that others are already trapped in.

Human rights are taken away every single day — all because too many of us are still not ready to defend them, mistakenly believing these rights are simply given.

Generations fought for these freedoms, high standards of values, and paid with their lives so that we could enjoy and live in a free Western society.

Ask yourself: what have you done, and what are you doing every day, to protect this heritage?
