United States Forces Entire Internet To Require Age Verification - The End of Privacy

[00:00] Today can mark the end of the internet as we know it. The United States just snuck a bill under everybody's noses to basically force age verification, biometric scan, and digital ID on every single aspect of the internet.

[00:13] And so if this passes today, it's GD. And I don't normally ask this, but I'm asking all of you right now to please leave a like on this video, and please comment, and just share this video around. More people need to be aware of this situation because today is a make it or break it for the internet.

[00:29] Depending on how the voting goes in the House today will determine if the internet basically comes to an end. And so there is ways to potentially fight back against this today. You can call your representative, which I will talk more about in this video. But for now, please help share this video around for people who are aware of this situation.

[00:46] This is actually happening. The entirety of the United States is about to force in age verification today. I'm not even joking. I just became aware of this right last night, and a bunch of people are becoming aware of this as well.

[01:01] You can see a lot of people slowly starting to recognize and kind of key in on what is going on here. It is not good. Not even politicians from Japan talking about this situation. So let's just, let's dive headfirst into this.

[01:13] So basically, there is a package of multiple different bills and laws and stuff that are passing through the House right now. And basically, there is going to be a vote to be able to pass this. And the bills within this package is being supported by partisan support, so to speak, this right here,

[01:31] which basically means that both political sides, Democrats and also Republicans, are both in agreeance with passing this package of different laws. And this one law in particular that is raising a lot of eyebrows is the one that is basically COSA,

[01:47] The Kids Online Safety Act that will force age verification onto every single person within the United States. And basically, to get into specifics, it will force every single platform to make sure and reassure that they know you're of age and of an adult.

[02:03] For instance, if a platform doesn't know you're an adult, they could theoretically get fined and get into a lot of trouble. So they're being forced to implement some form of safety rails or guards to prevent, you know, basically young users being able to get on.

[02:16] In a perfect world, this sounds completely okay, but the thing here is that we've seen time and time again with the laws within, like, the UK and the EU, that these online safety acts, digital, you know, IDs, biometric scans, and everything does the exact opposite of protecting people or even protecting kids.

[02:33] It puts everybody in danger, it puts your personal information out there, and it basically makes it to where everybody's at risk for potential data breaches or, you know, just getting doxxed in general. It's just not good at all.

[02:45] And so the point here is that this law is being pushed through the door, and under everybody noses pretty much It just snuck under everybody radar for the most part And now it at that point where there not really much you can really do but hope that there people on the voting that do notice this and actually deny it but this is literally

[03:03] happening today, on the 29th, like, today is Monday the 29th in the United States right now, and this is getting voted on. This is, this is bad. Like, this is really, really, really, really,

[03:17] really, really, really freaking bad. Like, this is basically the moment of, is it over? Is the internet dead? That is pretty much what this is. So, let's get into specifically what is being said

[03:32] here. So, we have little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote is being rushed to the United States House for a Monday the 29th. Buried inside the Kids Act are provisions that will push online

[03:44] services to verify all users. Ages require government-directed moderation, policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communication. The bill has bipartisan support and large corporate donors who have all invested interest

[03:59] in eroding your privacy and freedom of speech. Similar bills have already passed in other countries, for instance, UK and, you know, Europe, and individual states, and led to ID scanning mandates, aka what's going on, for instance, with, like, Pornhub.

[04:11] You know how you can't access it without basically ID-ing yourself? More or less, this will become the entirety across the whole internet. Like, you'll have to ID yourself just to access the freaking internet. And this will be, from my understanding, countrywide.

[04:25] It won't just be a specific state, it will be basically countrywide. Anyways, faulty AI moderation, removal of encrypted messages, etc. If passed, some platforms will require ID scans from all users. Some may try to deploy faulty estimation technology that will randomly trigger and cause your accounts to either permanently delete or lock until you fork over an ID.

[04:46] These systems have been a disaster where deployed in other regions have led to many accounts losses and data breaches. So more or less what's being said here is that all these platforms will implement some form of like AI system to determine if you're an adult or not.

[04:59] And obviously we know that these systems are very poorly managed and they basically mess up all the time. And so there's going to be thousands, millions, potentially, of people that are going to get falsely flagged, and they're going to have to put their ID up to be able to identify themselves as an actual adult.

[05:15] And basically what this means is that, yeah, you're proving you're an adult, but now your information and where you live, your driver's license and everything, whatever you use to verify yourself, is now on that site. And you're trusting this random website with your personal information.

[05:28] I know I wouldn't, but that's basically what's going to happen. You want to access Wikipedia? Well, you need an ID for that. Oh, you want to access Google? You're gonna need an ID for that. You don't want to watch a YouTube video to be able to save your grandma that's having some problems,

[05:40] you know basically can breathe and you gotta figure out CPR What You need an ID for that That basically what going to happen here is that you going to need an ID just to be able to access the internet at any given moment to determine your age

[05:54] This is disastrous, not just for the internet, but for privacy itself, and this is the domino effect that I have literally been talking about over and over and over again.

[06:07] This is that Shimanada 1984 reality that we have entered into. If this passes today, this could be, I'm not even joking, the end of the internet as we know it.

[06:22] This is literally creeping towards that dystopian-like future where you're no longer anonymous, you no longer can be, you know, a different person online, you can just be anonymous and just do whatever you want.

[06:34] You will now have a face attached to everything you do online. This is absolutely scary because it's a complete invasion of privacy. and the big thing that these companies want to do for you, or why they would want your information,

[06:46] is to be able to sell your data, but also be able to target you with certain ads and make profit off of you. Because, let's just be blunt, we all know this. If you have been on the internet, you know that if, you know, certain websites track you and know what you're into,

[07:00] they will start throwing certain ads at you that, you know, you might be interested in. They figure out everything about you to be very predatory to basically target you with certain ads or marketing. And they're going to go to an extreme level with this, especially if they know exactly where you live, your full name, your age, and everything.

[07:17] It's going to get a lot worse. And then that's not including, for instance, data breaches and selling your data to third-party companies or even countries at that. It's not good. So, yeah, everything about this is just bad freaking news.

[07:31] And the scariest part about this is that this is bipartisan. I want to reiterate this. This means that it's a both-sides problem. This means it is Democrats and Republicans both coming together and being like, this is good.

[07:44] And when you have two political parties that are always at each other's throats, wanting to basically completely topple the other, coming together to agree on something, you know they're saying good. And I've been talking about this over and over again, that both sides want to censor the internet.

[07:59] that both sides want to kind of usher in complete surveillance and knowing what you're doing at any given time, because it means that they will be able to control the narrative, be able to censor you, and know what you're doing. I mean, we've already seen the dangers that this causes within the UK, within Europe.

[08:15] I mean, we've all seen it. We know what's going on in Europe. For instance, if you want to talk about illegal immigration, for instance, in Europe or UK, they will send police at your house or potentially censor you. You'll get a fine or whatever. They're more concerned about that than actually fixing real issues or, you know, addressing things to try to fix things.

[08:32] And that's what's going to happen here. And so I think that this is a massive attack on freedom of expression free speech and also just your privacy itself This is horrible And the crazy thing about this is that this legitimately was slid under everybody noses

[08:51] and not many people have become aware of this until literally today. That's insane. Like, it's so freaking insane to me. So, yeah, honestly, guys, the only thing you can really do at this

[09:03] moment is what, uh, Earl Manster actually posted here, is to contact your representative on all that right here, which I will, I will link this in the description, please, contact your representative for your state to basically not allow this to happen, it's honestly the only way to be able to

[09:20] stop this, but it's so late, for instance, it's literally today, I don't even know if it would work, in the time you guys see this video, maybe the votes have already happened, and it's already passed, then you got denied. Hopefully it did. But yeah, I'm just, I'm sounding the alarm here,

[09:35] because this is a red flag. This is basically everything, the build-up from like last year, with Kids Online Safety Act and everything, that has been built up to this very moment,

[09:47] and it's finally here. It is finally here, and it's packaged in so many different builds to make it look like if you try to shoot this down, you seem to not care for kids' safety. that's what they're doing here, because I want to really showcase the maliciousness of how it's just very disingenuous.

[10:04] They're naming this, for instance, the Kids Act and all that. They're, like, burying it in a title like that, so basically, it looks really bad if you're against this. If you're against this type of stuff, you legit don't want to protect kids.

[10:16] That's what this looks like, and it shuts down any counter-argument or any dissent or any politicians that want to speak out about this. it makes them look bad, optically, it makes them look bad, and so, it's going to make it the world go lean heavily on just supporting it, not to look bad optically, because, let's be

[10:31] honest, it's all about optics, that's what people view things as, and so, optically, they're going to vote for this, because they don't want to be viewed like someone that doesn't care about kids, so, yeah, just, oh my, oh my god, like, I, I really hope there's some sensible people

[10:47] at the House today, in the United States, when they vote, they shut this down. Please, please don't let this pass. Please don't let this pass. I really, really, really, really,

[10:59] really, really, really, really hope that this does not pass, and that we find out, like, later today, this gets shut down. Please. Please, please, please, please, please. I will

[11:12] leave it at that, though. I wanted to bring this up, because this is, uh, yeah, um, if we find out today if this passes or not, I will make a follow-up video, so stay tuned to that, but, uh, with that

[11:25] being said, please subscribe, leave a like on the video, help spread this and all that, because more people need to be aware of what's going on today, but be safe, guys. Talk to you later. Cheaty out.
