From Germany to Brazil – The “social media ban” craze continues.
Kit Knightly
The list of countries that want to “ban social media for children” (read: identity-gate internet access) just continues to grow and grow.
There’s Germany…
NEW – Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), a former BlackRock chairman, wants to end the anonymity on the Internet: “I want to see real names.” pic.twitter.com/sUjG7XIdrd

At least Merz is being somewhat honest about the intention – ending anonymity.
Meanwhile, Greece is doing it to “protect democracy”…
NOW – Greece’s PM says banning social media for minors and adolescents “goes hand in hand with a democratic responsibility” to ensure “that technology strengthens the public square rather than overwhelms us with disinformation and hate,” and that if dialogue with big tech fails,… pic.twitter.com/qJ9shDiUYr

And Canada is still clinging to the “protect kids” line:
So is Brazil:
Not to mention France, Spain, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, and Slovenia [link].
Social media bans are the newest trend. Heads of state, like Mad Men-style 60s housewives, are seeing what their neighbors have and jealously demanding their own.
Not since the early days of Covid have our world leaders demonstrated such school-of-fish-like hivemind synchronization.
It’s all just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Even the US, a supposed bastion of freedom under The Don, is inevitably heading in the same direction.
That’s the reason for the big “social media trial”, contrived performance theatre to air the anti-algorithm grievances of bereaved parents who or may not be real, and engage the increasingly hysterical sentiments of the digital mob.
America may be the last domino to fall, it may even be relegated to a state-level matter, but fall it will.
And that will be that.
It’s another reason why the proposed VPN ban may come to nothing, because there’s no point in spoofing your IP to another country if every country on earth requires digital ID anyway.
This is the wall of a digital prison closing in, and it’s far more important than the alleged arrest of Prince Andrew.
Which is why THAT is on every front page in the country, and THIS is not.

Generally I share your- and most commentators- anxiety, that introduction of social media ban for children and minors will provide pretext for imposing digital identity tools globally.
But we cannot deny that social media generate numerous phenomena, that have significant negative impact for children and adolescents (I do not exaggerate). So we should not escape from the question, how to effectively diminish this process and protect them. If there are more efficient methods than restricting of access of children and minors to social media, I’m open to hear about them.
When all the nations follow suit, the joo is behind it. Handy rule for the unaware.

Now we have space aliens to think about…..
We can fall to THEIR crappy problem solving trap, or, make the existing internet adult (16>) and create a second hardware+content-delimited-for-<16 internet, appropriate for any age. There’s a huge upside here giving humanity the onetime chance to make a profit and capitalism free internet for all which would socialize and universalize LIBRARY LEVEL ACCESS to knowledge FOR ALL. FREE. No Google, elite, corporate or political capitalist rat hole search engines blocking access to what humans need to know. No sales or transactions, or capitalist porn gumming up human problem solving. It could also be a direct connection to all politicians and all constituents to engage public problem solving and decision making on policy and government acts. Just think of that!
This is a chance to get the public, the information access we need. An Internet Public Commons. WE can judo the <16 crisis in favor of humanity instead of in favor of the OVERLORD CLASS surveillance state. Our streets, our government, our Earth, our lives, not THEIRS.
Slovakia’s president Fico to halt all electricity supplies to Ukraine on Monday if Ukraine doesn’t resume sending Russian oil to Slovakia – the oil transits through Ukraine to Slovakia and Hungary – EU bigwigs already tried to assassinate Fico he was shot five times but survived – the reason for the hit was Fico stayed neutral on the Ukraine conflict as did Pakistan’s Imran Khan – who the Brits and Americans had removed and imprisoned in a military coup a few years back, because he wouldn’t take Ukraine’s side in the conflict.
Orban of Hungary has also said that – he might halt electricity supplies to Ukraine if Russian oil doesn’t flow to Hungary.
Cant they buy it from Turkey?
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
The northern lights.
The immovable star.
An area off limits and controlled by all the nations.
Greenland is inexplicable except when you consider that satan is gathering his minions to make war with the camp of saints (Revelation 20).
We are not far off now.
Jesus wins.
Greenland is Satan? I can follow you on the other points but not this one.
Not what I meant.
Why Greenland?
Because Christ and the camp of saints is in the north.
Satan is gathering the nations to encircle the camp.
Obviously you would need land near the camp.
Revelation 20.
Dont forget Internet was Invented and patented by Pentagon and MIC in US!
Its use is not some of your Human and Free Speech Rights. Its a weapon for military use!
Well in 2020/21 it was all about keeping Granny and Granpa Safe and doing so by necessary legislation. Now they’re using the opposite end of the spectrum and using keeping teenagers Safe by means of new blanket legislation. They seem to be holding all the reigns.
Governments all around the world have tried desperately to contain the spread of public information which is made possible by the internet. Their main tactic was to flood the internet with disinformation trivia and porn. Now that is being used as the excuse to censor. Children first the rest soon after.
The internet is just a means of publishing. It doesn’t need new laws, we already have publishing and laws to limit / control what is published.
Bingo. The WWW is just electronic speech, and the remedy for bad speech is always more speech. Government-mandated censorship as protection for fragile democracy or to avoid temptation or hurt feelings is an extremely Orwellian concept that the PTB have managed to get much of the public to accept through decades of conditioning. Keeping children and teens away from porn or gambling sites is the responsibility of their parents, not the nanny state. While the premise is supposedly about “protection”, in reality censorship is almost always about nothing more than control.
About 5 years ago, UK, EU and US considered how to control what we look up, through intimidation. They considered designating certain sites as terrorist, conspiratorial, etc. At present, censorship is outsourced to big websites including “platforms” on the threat of heavy fines. At least in US, the recipient of the censorship order – or demand for info for that matter – cannot inform anyone of the order.
And none of it matters if you aren’t on the device. The real world remains as free as always.
So you think the real world is free – interesting.
Only when your MacBook Air is open and you are on LSD is freedom.
I said “as free as always”. Freedom is in your mind, brother – it’s not something someone else can give or take away.
Well said…
You may need to spend more time out in nature. The freedom is deafening…
Precisely. But the sheeple are blinded. Looking into a TV screen 24/7.
In ancient times when our parents were young, it was called the dumb box. Nowadays they live their lives inside it.
Not everyone is a sheeple…plenty of wolves still out here.
Yeah, I saw an interview where they claim a hell lot of Americans were harshly against the thousands of Data Centres they are building in US now.
But off course we dont hear anything of this in MSM.
Tell that to the Ukrainians or the Palestinians.
As upsetting as what we’re seeing on the screens often is, it is also well to remember that it is when we are pressured by the material circumstances of the world that we often find out where “freedom” actually resides. There are people waking up to this essential spiritual truth all over the globe, including in Ukraine and Palestine. In fact it’s been my experience that people in extreme conditions like war know this truth in a way that people living more materially privileged lives struggle to grasp.
Well, that’s the PTB and their media whores begun to push the aliens narrative – we’ve had the media in Britain discuss it – Trump mentioned it recently and Obama’s named popped up around it as well.
Its not that I don’t believe that aliens exist out their somewhere – or that they might have visited Earth or are still here – its that when the controlled MSM begins taking it seriously – you know somethings about to go down.
The PTB, and their media mouthpiece outlets have always played down the alien angle – and many respected pilots – or persons of standing have been afraid to say anything significant about encounters, for fear of ridicule, yet here we have the MSM openly now discussing aliens, along with the likes of Trump.
Its not just about knowing whose on the web – and where they are – its also about controlling what they see on the web, how will young folk find out the truth about an event if they can’t get online to search for it – what are they to do – take the MSM’s word for it – no chance, also, its only in recent times that these so called fact-checking websites have sprung up – and all, and I do mean all – are connected to the establishment – to force through their lying narrative on an event.
It starts with the lie of protecting the kids – and ends up with severe web restrictions for us all, if we can’t get online or to the sites (alt-media such as this one) to find out the truth or to speculate the real reasons for certain events then we will be blind to what’s going on.

I agree that social media is largely harmful, especially to kids who can get addicted to it. That puts it in the category of other “attractive nuisances” like alcohol or any manner of drug. All of these have destroyed many lives and done great damage to society. They proliferate because there is huge money to be made in selling them to vulnerable people.
But there really is no effective way to “ban” these or any attractive nuisance. That has been tried over and over and bans always create only an additional set of problems, such as black markets and the criminalization of people who break the bans.
The effective thing is education. People can learn to use alcohol, drugs, and other things responsibility. We can admit that they do have a recreational value, but we need to learn to limit our recreations. For example, most cars now will go over 100 miles per hour. But we learn not to drive that fast because the risks are too great.
The truth about social media is that it is fun to a certain extent, like drinking. You do to much and it gets boring or sickening. We need a popular discourse about the responsible use of everything.
I agree Robert – it will be utterly impossible to enforce – but that’s not what this is all about its all about control – when it get to the stage that the PTB says that its not working, kids are still getting online and viewing whatever – then harsher rules will be applied across the board which will affect us – they could say well the only way to protect the kids, is if the platforms restrict access to everyone for a number of hours a day – this would cost the platforms money, money that the taxpayer would need to give them via government handouts.
Add in a list of websites might be put on a black list, or no access list – such as this one, the reasons given could be anything from spreading propaganda – to corrupting young minds, remember its all in the name of protecting the children, if you believe that lying narrative, which I’m sure you don’t.
Restricting web access to certain sites, must be a priority to the PTB – but they can’t just do it over night – problem, reaction, solution in this case is a slow and steady one.
It comes with profit, modernisation, urbanisation, people having to leave family behind for work, breakdown of community, etc. Even old people are falling into this delusion. Yet, the bullies are ousting “recalcitrant” aborigines from their forests or relatively useless (to modernity) lands.
Probably pointless in pretending it is about children when the city centres of German cities such as Hamburg, the country’s second largest and Frankfurt are crime ridden filthy shitholes. Hardly safe places for children.
Kurt Caz the Youtuber while simply filming on the street, with neither any close-up shots nor antagonising anyone was chased by a couple of crackheads, one who threw a bottle and the other had a pair of scissors in his hands. The bodyguard with Caz used pepper spray in defence. Police saw the event unfold, stopped and searched Caz and the bodyguard, and confiscated his camera and the footage. Both were placed under police investigation. Eventually charges were dropped after three months and the camera returned. No action was taken against the asailants, clearly identifiable from the footage.
Using self-defence in fucked-up Germany makes you the guilty party under the New Normal Reich.
To pretend the regime cares about the children would be comedy gold.
https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDVwFjWsT8#
I’ve know people who actually work in Hamburg police. Have visited, and have walked around the place. Even went to the main Police Station on one occasion. What then. What gives in the big scheme of things?
On the flip-side to this, there is a prevalence of ‘citizen-journalists’ or ‘auditors’ who go round filming ordinary people in the street or in their work places, often antagonising them to get more hits on whatever social media streams they monetise their footage. Sometimes when confronted by a member of the public who isn’t keen on receiving their ‘1-minute of fame’, the auditors retort something along the lines “well you’re being filmed anyway, so what’s your problem?” (alluding to the presence of numerous security cameras on the urban streets). So begs the question, who is contributing more to the New Normal? …the downtrodden spiced-up homeless guy, or the well-off you-tuber sticking a camera in people’s faces largely for entertainment purposes? I imagine both sides are tolerated, or even welcomed by the authorities at this point.
Unless you are sarcastic, you turn reality on its head this time RR.
Its an offence to film people without permission. Even they have surveillance cameras in public places they must duly advice it in advance so people know, and can take their precautions.
It is NOT an offence to film in public in Germany. Although, Germany does have some of the strictest privacy laws (when it suits).
In Germany when walking down the street filming oneself or taking video of landmarks which happened to have identifiable individuals in the footage would not cause a problem either.
https://recordinglaw.com/germany-recording-laws/
Neither in UK nor the USA is it an offence to film or publish, so long as it is in a public place. No permission required ever. Also, in both those countries you can even film the police and publish it online.
As I mentioned already, in Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and the EU as a whole filming in public is generally allowed. Although, filming the police in some of those countries and publishing the faces without permission can be an offence.
So which country are you referring to?
I am referring to universal rules. To tell the truth I never thought of you as a wagging law abiding citizen who are ‘following all the rules and only the rules.
.
I am talking about common decent behaviour toward your fellowman. Love your neighbour as yourself.
Yes in some religious countries it is an offence to film or photo people. Muslim countries, Africa (lose your soul into the camera) etc, each country have their own habits.
I dont like people filming me or photo me without permission which in most cases they will not get, as I like anonymity.
My work and writing should be judged and speak for itself without seeing how beautiful I am.
Decency. Why I would back up on those who threw bottles and stones, and I am also with the German Police who understood the situation better than anybody.
I once filmed in an airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A police officer behind me suddenly said: “Sorry Sir, filming is banned in the airport”. I apologized and closed my camera. Decency!
Ha ha. If you are of the wrong race (though they claim there is no such thing as race, only “ethnicity”) and videoing buildings, you and your camera may have to be investigated.
What lies. He goes out with Fred, who is Mossad and part of the Charlie Veitch poverty porn security team psyop, which only idiots who can’t figure out staged from contrived would watch.
Charlie Veitch recently received a banning order for going into areas, provoking mainly addicts and homeless people, then recording it and editing it in a format to play the victim.
Charlie Veitch’s history is an asset to the core, exactly like Kurt Caz.
Fred…Mossad? What a laugh. Where is your evidence?
Now Veitch I do believe is controlled opposition, but he claims he was banned from the centre of Manchester for 7 months for allegedly abusing a transexual. Something he actually didn’t do, from the video evidence. Also, he is always very careful not to fall foul of the law. Anyway, that whole story could be scripted, or it could just be Andy Burnham, the Manchester mayor bearing a grudge.
Caz was a travel blogger and only got into the citizen journalism/’auditing’ scene recently.
Whatever anyone thinks about auditors both the genuine ones and the controlled oppo are showing the state of terminal societal decline and the economic despair which is repeated all across Europe, North America and the West. At least it opens the eyes of those who are lucky enough not to live in the worst of these areas and it shows those who do that they are not alone.
So rather than moaning about the auditors showing the state of towns and cities ordinary honest, hard working people now have to live in, instead you support the criminals – pickpockets, thieves, scammers, abusive drug addicts, threatening groups and those commiting all sorts of anti-social behaviour.
People like you are part of the problem, facilitating and enabling the controlled demolition of our societies for your ideological beliefs, and actually in the process helping the controllers with their agenda. The very definition of ‘useful idiots’.
No reason to be upset RR. You normally have fine informative comments.
This case here is not one of them.
You reveal here who you are fighting for: “Ordinary hard working people” forced to live in areas where there are poor dirty jobless people without money.
Like Georg Carlin said about the Liberals false intentions:
“What they really want is a clean place to live, worried about themselves some day may be exposed to personal inconvenience.
Self important, self righteous, selfish people dont impress me“.
Poor people dont like their poverty and humiliation be exposed on the frontpages by idiots on the left ,because they know up front they are just being exploited one more time.
‘Poverty porn’ 😂 . Good one raw milk. Fully agree.
Use it or lose it!
Never in OG: Hybrid rice coverage doubles in five years19 February 2026 in Bangladesh.
White male meets Black female = Hybrid rice.
Kids will be kids, i suppose.
According to governments all over the world, kids are watching porn online,
they’re gambling online , obtaining drugs online, exposing themselves to
(and apparently enjoying) all sorts of online Morally Corrupting stuff… And
this is because their parents dont have, or defend, Family Values (TM)…
So governments have to act in loco parentis… And if what governments do
to Protect The Children (TM), curtail, if not negate. adults civil liberties etc,
well, that’s The Price Society must pay to Protect The Children (TM) !!
The “internet” will end up being a way to access government services, that’s all.
Something else will take over.
A few years back, my neighbour walked over to our local police precinct to file a noise complaint against another neighbour on the adjacent block and was met, not by a desk sergeant ready to take a statement, but by another officer who told him to file the complaint online.
They dont receive written letters nor complaints anymore, only artificial complaints with artificial Intelligence with your artificial ID is now artificial legal.
Ha. I just read a comment elsewhere from a reliable source. He related that during a recent trip to a local library, he approached a librarian (presumably) manning the reference desk because he needed help locating certain information.
The first words out of the “librarian”‘s mouth were, “Did you check the Internet?” 🤨
Online applications/complaints are no better than apps: frustrating mazes to keep the riff-raff from bothering “civil servants” busy serving their masters.
I wish it would hurry up and get here….
In the beginning, anyone could get an email ; nothing was needed.
Then they requested a separate email to keep your account safe.
Then they requested a phone number to keep your account safe.
Then they requested a code sent to your phone number one in ten times you logged in.
Then they limited the number of emails you could send.
Then they, at times, did not send emails if they felt it was spam to keep your account safe.
Then it was prove you’re human every time you logged in.
Then it was prove you’re human, play a game, then code to email, then to make sure and
to keep your account safe, a code to the phone number.
One day , after all of this, I needed to prove my age, and ID was needed to access an email account that started with nothing needed to apply for one in the beginning.
This is Totalitarian Tiptoe.
CNN & WSJ REPORT ON IRAN HOSTILITIES
The White House has been briefed that the military could be ready for an attack on Iran by the weekend, CNN reported.
Trump has been briefed on his military options against Tehran, with “all of them designed to maximise damage”, including a campaign to “kill scores of Iranian political and military leaders, with the goal of overthrowing the government”, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an unnamed US official.

What ever reason is used to ban or restrict ‘social media’ is a good reason.
These companies are not in business to promote free speech or to disseminate news or to enlighten the masses. They are in it to make as much money as they can in the shortest possible time, in any way they can. Not really much different to a drug dealer or pimp. The only difference is that drug dealers and pimps have opposition – both legal and illegal.
It is time to accept that some things simply should not be. And things like Facebook, TickTok etc. are very high on that list.
Nonsense. All the Social Media platforms are DARPA et all social engineering tools. Gathering data for their totalitarian control technocracy. Money and profit is a secondary, albeit an essential tool, to/for their agenda.
I know this site attracts conspiracy theorists, but I will let you in on a little secret – there are no conspiracies; there is no ‘deep state’. What there is, is people who take advantage of a bad situation to profit personally. We saw it through the covid circus, and we see it with Social media. That is not the same as a conspiracy, it is probably more analogous to profiteering, something that is generally illegal in war time, but strangely admired be the rich and powerful otherwise.
Well there are actually ‘deep states’ (more than one, in fact). Goes without saying. Otherwise, how else would any nation function beyond the next arbitrary election?
It is called the ‘civil service’. It is common in most countries. They are nominally non-political, although of course individuals do have political opinions. They do not create policy, only continue policy. Interestingly, it is only the USA where they are politically biased and hence replaced by each incoming administration. One of many reasons the US is the failed state it is now.
The snivel service is one of the routes the controllers use to enact their agendas.
For example, the British TV sitcom ‘Yes, Minister’ revealed how the snivel service is actually the tail wagging the dog.
An efficient way to enact globalist, supranational policy over the long term is by placing change agents to infiltrate all areas of the establishment and institutions including the civil service, local government, judiciary, police, education, health service etc.
Politicians are just the front men – mere puppets.
So ‘Yes, Minister’ is your proof?
But let’s for a minute (just a minute) agree that you are right.
The question then is : Who **exactly** are the leaders in this conspiracy of yours?
I have commented in the past on who and which groups are involved, but that is speculation on my part, based on research.
But the key to understanding is how it is done.
It does not require everyone to be involved, as the Plandemic showed.
The principle is that devised by Alfred Milner who inherited the control of Cecil Rhodes fortune. Milner created the Rhodes Round Tables (rings within rings) based on Adam Weishaupt’s idea.
In the book Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley he explained the mechanics. If you don’t want to read the 1300 page tome, use Joe Plummer’s free book called Tragedy and Hope 101 which although long cuts to salient points. I recommend the 5 hour audio version of his book.
https://joeplummer.com/
But isn’t that what I said earlier :
What there is, is people who take advantage of a bad situation to profit personally.
This is not conspiracies or ‘deep state’
Take the covid scam for example.
There was a new seasonal flue, that the media, on a slow news day hyped to be very serious.
After the social media morons amplified it with fake tales of their close friends and neighbours dying in agony 5 minutes after walking past a house that may have had a recovered patient in it, the pharmaceutical companies saw an opportunity
Then the police forces saw an opportunity to increase their powers
Then the security services saw it as a way to counter terrorists – even ISIL was quiet during covid, which is quite funny in a perverse sort of way
Then various government ministers in many countries saw an opportunity to make money by giving covid related contracts to friends and relatives.
And it went on and on.
There was no great conspiracy, just greed and opportunism.
And we see the same in every crisis.
Yes, the rich get richer, and we get poorer, but that is the way of the world. The rich are in a position to take advantage of a crisis, we are not.
It doesn’t mean there is a great conspiracy
So that is your starting point for the Plandemic? Just a coincidence? Event 201 ring a bell?
Obviously, there was a conspiracy at least at the highest level, what I term the controllers (unknown), in order to start the ball rolling and then further down the food chain those others who also knew the truth eg WHO, senior politicos, pharma execs.
Understand ‘rings within rings’ aka compartmentalization. It is the concept of information disseminated on a need to know basis, so look at the link I provided and read or listen to the research within it first.
“Obviously, there was a conspiracy at least at the highest level, what I term the controllers (unknown)”
I think we will have to leave it there.
When I wrote ‘”unknown” I was referring to the ABSOLUTE controllers, I assumed that was obvious.You coud spend your life going around in circles trying to uncover that.
I did write in a comment a year ago who I thought were candidates for the absolute controllers.
https://off-guardian.org/2025/03/25/the-global-gang-running-the-world-and-ruining-our-lives/#comment-714986
However, the system and the institutions that they control and how they do it, is not a mystery. If you are really interested to learn some of the organisations that were set-up by the ‘Network’ as Quigley called them, then Tragedy and Hope is an excellent starting point.
I don’t think the news media hype anything that they are not instructed to hype, on a slow day or otherwise.
Well who, **exactly** instructs them?
The simple truth is they are a damn lazy bunch these days and would much rather embellish a facebook post and promote it as fact than do real work.
There was a time when the BBC was a trusted news source (believe it or not). But in those days, they **reported** events rather than present their personal opinion based on third hand, often made up stories.
We know there are state agents on this site, paid to pretend they really are that clueless so as not to see coordination between world governments, public bodies and private oligarch-owned institutions to direct the world for their benefit only.
This is not opportunism as you try to make out but long-term planning.
Wars are planned. Read Sutton and Hamer.
The entire health industry is built on a fundamental lie as to how our bodies work.
Party politics and the whole ‘democratic government’ charade is a scam. You have no choice, you have owners.
But keep trying to get people to unsee what they have seen and unlearn what they have come to know.
You are having a giraffe Noddy. If 2 or more people cooperate to take advantage, that is a conspiracy.
Zionists, masons, fabians, – it’s as old as politics:
https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/brits-spied-on-me-according-to-memo
Not sure what ‘having a giraffe’ is but, I think you are being a little obtuse.
A conspiracy in this context is a world wide group that is hidden from us and controls events for their own benefit/amusement.
There isn’t such a group. Never has been.
Don’t believe the stories about Davos and Bohemian Grove.
..or “stories” about the Rothschilde’s and the BIS..?
look, the giraffes are having a bath.
Yes, NGOs (non-profits) are instrumental in manipulating public opinion and shaping public (government) policy.
An obvious example being The Gates Foundation. Tax-exempt and hiding behind the front of philanthrophy, these organisations are stuffed full of change agents enacting the controllers agendas.
I would say GreenPeace is one of the biggest manipulators of the truth, their executive board are paid a fortune whilst they sacrifice the young and naive.
But I guess you have excuses for them.
Gates is an opportunist. No one, even he, could believe that money wasted in Africa on Africans would do anything but enrich corrupt African politicians. And that is where he sees the money – African government contracts.
Gates gets richer.
No conspiracy, no deep state, just greed.
Wasn’t Epstein talking about the digital matrix, programmable money, cbdc, etc. in the files?
I am not with you here Kit. I find it equal to the previous ban on adult films to >18 years old, etc.
Young people and children MUST have adults to protect them, because they read and see SO much shit and bs on the net they cant absorb and whcih can hurt their development.
Instead of gameplay and adult and negatives about the world, they should be outside and acquaint themselves and their senses with mother nature.
Regulated as per Brazil¨’s proposal yes!
I can’t believe you seriously think the social media ban is intended to protect children. It’s not possible for you to say the other things you have said on here and yet be that naive on this subject. Therefore I can inly conclude you are attitudinizing for some motive of your own.
You misunderstand it. There are two purposes build into this requirement. One is the bit by bit invasion of our privacy and control issue, and the other is the factual situation our children is in.
So I am with you on the first one, but on the other hand I see this age requirement as an opportunity to limit children and adults use of the flat screen tool.
For me its a dear coming opportunity to take more walks in the parque. https://youtu.be/0deM8pMQun4
Yes, young people must have adults to protect them. It’s called parents, and definitely not “government”.
It’s why this has taken twenty or so years since social media came in for this to be introduced, waiting until there’s a generation of parents who are themselves hopeless social media addicts. Stop me before I tweet again….
These same parents have been told since WW2 that any attempt to control or discipline their children makes them fascists. See ‘The Authoritarian Personality’. This was the contribution of the Frankfurt School, those Marxists who could walk into the USA and get top university jobs despite the USA supposedly hating Marxism.
The final icing on the cake was obviously the role of social media in exploding the convid scam. That couldn’t be allowed to happen again
Funny how every government is tackling this by attacking user anonymity and not the designed, built-in addictiveness deliberately created by Big Tech which is why so many of them admit they won’t allow their own children to use social media….
The indoctrination started with the Prussian school system.
Parents can take care about their children at home. When their children is in the hands of the public, parents are forced to rely on the system.
We used to ‘acquaint ourselves with Mother Nature’ when young, ’til the
bloody adults realized what we were doing. They thought it was great ’til
they realised we were actually playing ‘Doctors and Nurses’ / ‘Mums
and Dads (aka – Happy Families). both forbidden games, under a different
name… Bloody adults !!!
‘Alas, Poor Andy…… I knew him well !!’ … KfC3 ?

Real names of plebs on the internet, but we are still not allowed to know who is running western “democracies”. Sounds like westerners now have a stick with shit on both ends; dictatorship plus anonymous dictators, just putrid peasants in smart clothes called politicians.
We know. We are just not allowed to say. The name “Epstein” should give you a clue.

Mr. Hinze had the misfortune of being born half-German; the rest of his genetics were Anglo-Saxon. Here we see him shaking hands with the North Germanic Bjelke-Petersen, a double-barreled name invented in the feminist era.

‘Brazil to ban Youth* access to gambling, pornography, and similar content…
betting, pornography, escort services, alcohol, dating apps, and weapons.’
This read like the list of reasons the Australian government gave for
imposing Income Management (control over spending) on Australia’s
‘Remote Communities’ (not quite the same as the US’s ‘Indian ‘Reservation’,
but getting there)…
I expect when the Australian government decides it’s time to impose Income
Management on Australia’s aged pensioners much the same listed
justifications will be used ?
* Once upon a time the category ‘youth’ covered everyone to age 30 years old.
Are They gonna resume using that earlier meaning ? And i still cant figure when
being a ‘young child’ ends and an ‘older child starts.’
I have seen young boys hereof one of my own using too much time on game playing, shooting the head off the ‘enemies’ so the blood splashed from the screen.
Their main activity for a longer period. Becoming stupider and stupider.
Conclusion: TV in whatever form is not an healthy issue, but a forced tool imposed on us from Pentagon and MIC.
Yes, the arrest of the royal is trivial. But not the conspiraccy behind it. Why? Because all of these horrible laws you hate are enacted because all of our leaders are blackmailed by the “Zionists.” Who control our countries. Who make our laws. Who tell us what to do and how high to jump. These new internet “identify yourself” laws? Zionist.
Cmon, not fair,
The kings brother arrested and the globe still not proven for discerners
Yet ships still disappear over the horizon. Go figure
Go figure,
Ok, I’ll try.
Maybe all ships just fall off the end of a flat earth and never actually reach their destination.
Does that work as a theory?
How do we Know ?
They fall off the edge, seems fine.
We can track.
What we would like, a live track of the ‘globe’
No problem. We all get close to the ‘edge’ in our own ways, I suppose. ‘The Giver (2014)’ worth watching anyway, if you’ve not seen it:
My memory, the giver, lets see
Tryed to access but no go and visual complete gay
No worries. It’s a film anyway. Other sources, I’m sure. Nothing ‘gay’ about it. Romance at best. Maybe check your local video store.

Now, if I was a “conspiracy theorist”, I would almost think all this synchronisation of certain actions by all these world leaders at the same time was because they’re following orders from a higher authority. Marching in lockstep towards a preconceived plan to enslave humanity. Because this is most definitely a global plan, instigated by those who remain in the shadows, who have their front organisations like the Club Of Rome, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foreign Relations implement these plans. And I would think that if anyone out there still thinks these social media bans are actually about protecting minors, then they would have to be either pretty gullible, or else still very firmly attached to the system in a pyschological sense. Australia is still clinging to the “protect kids online” narrative as well. And yes, I also see a parallel with the convid operation. Here in Australia we also have draconian anti semitism and hate speech laws where merely causing someone to feel in fear can get you arrested. Meanwhile, the Zionist lobby here is busy trying to get speakers and artists banned from writers and music festivals and other cultural events, because they speak out against genocide and crimes against humanity inflicted on the Palestinian people. We live in surreal times when the perpetrators of these crimes still claim to be victims and want all criticism of a certain country silenced.
But your not a ‘conspiracy theaorist’ cos thats gay
2048 is what anti non conspracy types say
This ‘elite’ secretive plan to enslave all of humanity seems to be taking an inordinate amount of time considering all of those secretive organizations ostensibly devoted to the same purpose. Operating with absolute power over centuries.
So what went wrong?
big words
“The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small.”
Likewise the mills of Satan.
Step by step by step Vagabard. A bit here, a bit there, but yes, I do agree with you that their plans have been in the pipeline for a very long time. Everything I’ve seen and read, all the evidence I’ve looked at, including listening to speeches from foot soldiers like Klaus Schwab, Mark Carney and Christine Legarde, amongst others, I’m convinced there is a plan to install a digital panopticonic gulag, alongside the transhumanist agenda also. They have made it clear they want absolute control over everything and everyone.
I can answer that question. Jesus went wrong.
Isnt it a bit strange that one simple man’s light still burn through in 2000 years and still cause quarrels and anger but happiness for those who feel attracted to his words and life? How can this be?
Doesn’t seem strange at all. Why can’t a candle burn beyond its anticipated lifetime?
Get the basic point (I think). Some being attracted to a flame and others not.
Yet, Jesus himself addressed such concepts. So what gives?
“I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” (Mt. 10:34)
The truth is this sword. And you will know that the powers of this world are notorious liars yes? And there you have it.
There are so many big and obvious clues. The first one being, the perpetrators of all this evil rejected, killed and continue to hate Christ!
Yup. These anti-anonymity laws are Zionist. Zionists are at the root of all the laws that matter. Just like you said.
Sure.Yet what does ‘zionist’ mean anyway 80 years after the event.
If you don’t know, I’m not gonna tell ya.
Really? It means total annihilation of Palestine, the birth place of Christ!
“To know who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.” – Kevin Alfred Strom.
Hmm. Which group has enshrined in law, worldwide, any objection to their supremacy?
The NPCs are getting restless.
Satan’s chosen people, successfully inverted so the world thinks they are “God’s chosen people”.
You see this from your own and/or an political angle.
Try to see it from a child’s angle: Do a child need to sit in front of a computer or do a child need to own an Iphone?
Do a child need to play wargames with machine guns in a computer? Or do a child need to play lonely games on a digital phone?
Children need to train and acquaint all heir senses to the physical world in order to grow up as full human beings. Not to a digital robot.
You are right for all of these but they don’t care about our children , as they didn’t care about our health during Covid.
You really are a gullible sap but more likely a paid troll for 1srael.
I dont follow you.
Could you explain how your artificial Intelligence research and analysis came to this schizophrenia conclusion?
DOMINANT RUMOR: USRAEL TO ATTACK IRAN SATURDAY
The dominant rumor is that USrael will attack Iran Saturday, give or take a little. The aircraft carrier task force Bush is steaming over to meet the Lincoln and Ford task forces in the region. US bases have been stocked up with air defense missiles. US military have been given prepare-to-deploy orders.
All analysis is that if there is a strike on Iran that it will be completely serious, intended to change the regime by force, which will be an extended destructive process.
Iran, backed by Russia and China to an uncertain degree, but certainly with targeting help, will strike back against USrael with drones, missiles and hypersonic missiles.

Yes, not totally implausible. What better way to bury the ‘bad news’ of an attack on Iran than with a worldwide focus on the Epstein files/Prince Andrew’s arrest?
Trump tends to do some bombing, stop, and make a deal. If this is more than that, it will be because his owners demand it. You know who his owners are.
I have just started reading the Epstein files which are more horrible than Iran.
Will get back to the world news when I have finished the 6000 pages ultimate march.

nothing like telling the enemy 😂 what your up to.
Exactly, hexcate. I spose that’s half the purpose of the internet; it’s a direct pipeline to our status– of exactly how mad, confused or skeptical we are– and of our plans & intentions.
Andrew arrested and then released without charge? What was the point of all that?!
Re: loss of anonymity on the internet, I don’t mind posting under my own name. I’ve always done it. It’s my biometric data that I refuse to give up (any more than I already have: passport, drivers’ license, etc.).
I’m not interested in facilitating the interoperability needed for technocracy to completely take us over.
And I gave up on the two antisocial media platforms I was using for work — Instagram and LinkedIn — when their algorithms changed in a way that reduced my view count to low-single-digits. I wasn’t going to waste any more of my time and talent on those platforms. Nothing to do with privacy — although IG was never private and LI had begun pushing the entirely voluntary “verify your account” (using facial geometry and other personal and private information) months earlier. Well, it was entirely voluntary, but if you didn’t do it, then you missed out on all the benefits verified account-holders enjoyed, including reach (boosting of posts, etc.).
I suppose I should have seen the writing on the wall back then, but I didn’t. For anyone in the countries named in this article who are still on Substack, you might want to read this:

Anonymity is the greatest glory of the latter day. It ought to be enshrined in the Constitutions of all countries.
It depends. If you are stalking someone or if you are from Mossad I dont see the point of glory.

Funny that
It’s Blatant Discrimination, that’s what it is ! Denying kids their right to
read about and share gossip about the sexual peccadillos of the rich
and powerful… Keeping them in The Dark about Real World Events
aint in Their Best Interests !!
Mollycoddling The Young undermines their readiness to fight The
Russians – who are definitely worse fiends than Epstein…
But the kiddies can still access many porn sites, TV (much violence there), any naughty amazon books (with dad’s credit card), and some digital games. The age verification clearly has nothing to do with kids.
I am now 81, living in Australia, and I cannot access substack without consenting to its age verification. I would like them to verify to me what all this is really about.
Just turn your age around.

In Brazil, Rumble has been banned/censored/offline for years by order of a Supreme Court justice, Alexandre de Moraes, as punishment for the platform’s refusal to ban a podcast that criticised him over censorship in the country. X (formerly Twitter) was banned for almost a month because it refused to take down a tweet criticising the same judge. Even before the pandemic, this same judge was ordering censorship and bans on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook (and more) — including worldwide bans/censor, not just within Brazil — and, despite some initial resistance, the platforms complied, censoring users outside Brazilian territory who did not even live in Brazil, all at his request.
Brazil has been serving as a kind of “laboratory” for the New Normal for so looong time, but because Off-Guardian and the mainstream-alternative media tend only to see what happens in the United Kingdom and the United States, much goes unnoticed. Meanwhile, outlets such as Vox, The New York Times and The Economist observe what is happening and signal that it could serve as a model for similar measures elsewhere, with appropriate adjustments. They have been struck by how a single Supreme Court justice, positioning himself simultaneously as victim, prosecutor and judge, has exploited the Court’s status as the final instance to impose virtually anything, with broad compliance.
You may know Alexandre de Moraes from his clash with Elon Musk, or from the fact that he fined Musk and, after effectively sweeping X’s Brazilian bank accounts, went after the remainder via Starlink, without any clear legal basis. I suspect some of you may even have approved of that, given your dislike of Musk — whom I regard as controlled opposition.
For those who dislike Trump: he sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes under the Magnitsky Act for human rights violations (yes, there are allegations of torture in prison, coercion and more, as well as the freezing of bank accounts belonging even to relatives of his opponents). Yet it appears that a businessman — Joesley Batista, owner of JBS — the same man who went to Venezuela to act as an intermediary between Trump and Maduro, persuaded him to lift the sanction against the robed dictator, against whom there is effectively no avenue of appeal.
I greatly appreciate the work Kit and Cate do, but you need to stop looking only at your own backyard. You seem to think that what happens outside London and the United States does not truly happen at all.
Meanwhile Brazil is also still fining parents for not getting those Covid shots into their children.

But these countries are only third world shithole countries.
They do not have any money why we cant count on them, as they are not leading the world like we are doing it!
At least, the judge did not invade any country and kill a lot of its people. Because he can’t do that yet.

VPN bans.
psychologist for the online idiots Jordan peterstiens and all the others whores has been calling for anonymity online to be banned..
as did Tommy Robinson recently.
so did comedy for the simpletons Owen benjamin For those that don’t remember the whole “bear name” thing was meant to combat this exact viewpoint. The bear name was meant to be a digital avatar to keep you from having to identify at all on social media with your actual doxx. For anyone watching Owen for a number of years hearing this outright ban online anonymity bullshit tumble out of his mouth is crazy.
Goes to show yet again that Owen believes in nothing but money and attention.
Jordan Peterson has been a vocal critic of online anonymity, particularly on platforms like Twitter (now X) and YouTube, describing anonymous users who target him as “cowardly,” “scoundrels,” and “fiends”.
“Refuge of Scoundrels”: Peterson has argued that online anonymity allows users to engage in harassment and toxic behavior without facing consequences.
Demands to Elon Musk: Upon returning to Twitter in 2022, Peterson demanded that the platform separate or ban anonymous accounts from interacting with verified users.
“Separation” Proposal: Rather than an outright ban, he has proposed that platforms separate “anonymous troll-demons” from “real people”.
Hypocrisy Allegations: Critics have noted the irony of a vocal “free speech” advocate calling for the restriction of anonymity, arguing that many of his own supporters are anonymous, and that he acts with similar intensity to those he critiques
The woke right media that scream free speech have been a huge push for online id and to ban online anonymity.
What’s wrong with harassment and “toxic” behavior? It used to be called “flaming.”
What glorious days those days were, the days of the Flame Wars, before commenting sites figured out how to operate the old 86 machine. They used to go on for days, creative, dramatic, exciting, funny as hell. Nevermore, quoth the Raven.
The usual concept: Innocents are being punished and harassed for a clear false flag.
As I have mentioned many times, I don’t have ANY social media for more than 10 years and I feel fine, I don’t think I missed much. I was using various VPNs just for testing but they are all compromised by the agencies so there is no real anonymity. On the other hand, making laws about this seems wrong because that creates a frame for legal cases, which is actually the intention of all these governments.
I never signed up for ANY social media; I figured it was a way for CIA, etc to give us a false idea of what others think. The main task of Intell isn’t to find out secrets; it’s to plant misconception.
Eg: When TV began, the UK made it the law that everybody had to get one. Why? Obviously so they’d be subject to propaganda. Also so they’d stop going to the park on Sundays to talk to others and to demonstrate.
Presumably you went to the park on Sundays to talk to others – after you went to Church ?
les, I’m not in the UK; I read about this decades ago. TV had Intell origins in the US too– for the same purposes I wd guess.
Fortunately I was already in 2d grade when we got TV. It was small screen & black n white. The odd thing is it was almost too late to propagandize me: I didn’t like the way they were showing life to be– I imagined my future to be FAR more exciting. I knew SOMEBODY had made those shows, and I rejected them, wouldn’t watch.
Take for example “The Honeymooners” w Ralph Cramdon. As far as I cd tell they LIVED in the kitchen & that fat bus driver was always having to apologize for things he didn’t mean. It was all so depressing, especially in black n white.
I wd only watch things like The Lone Ranger & Tonto. I guess I was always judging things, always the little skeptic.
ok. gotcha, Ke-mo Sah- bee…
signed: Tonto…
My favorite Lone Ranger joke:
Hundreds of hostile Indians appear over the tops of the hills surrounding the Lone Ranger & Tonto. The Lone Ranger says, “What do we do now?”
“What’s this ‘we’ business White Man?”
Just curious. How does “Gilligan’s Island” figure in the general US psyche? Seems to had some deep themes to it. After all, some disparate group with disparate philosophical outlooks on some remote island seems ripe for analysis. Speaking from a UK perspective at least…
I threw the TV away so many decades ago (figured I didn’t need to be lied to any more) that I’ve never seen the show. Maybe somebody else can answer your question.
No worries. My mistake in assuming it was common US knowledge. Perhaps some do actually live outside-of-the-box after all
I guess we’re drifting off topic, but what the heck.
Like our friend Penelope, I haven’t had a television for years. But I watched a lot in my youth. Yes, Gilligan’s Island features a disparate group of people together on an island. The actress often talks about her acting life. The millionaire is obsessed with money. The professor has an incredible education and seems to have the answer for everything. Still, to me the show was just a silly comedy.
Bob Denver (Gilligan) was physically slender, while Alan Hale (Skipper) was large. I’ve read that it’s no secret they were modeled somewhat after Laurel and Hardy.
Bob Denver and Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) put together simple websites years ago, where they shared memories. I can’t find them now, but maybe you’ll have better luck.
Dawn liked the dream episodes, where she could get some acting variety and play different characters. Bob recalled that Alan Hale (Skipper) and Jim Backus (Mr. Howell) were both very funny in real life and always whooping it up. He said he had a close call once, as they had a lion in an episode. It was trained, but you know animals. Sometimes their instincts kick in, and the lion went after poor Gilligan! But they had a trainer on hand who quickly jumped in and saved the day.
Thanks. I’ve seen all the episodes but didn’t know any of that background
Yes, long time ago I thought that facebook was intended for families or friends to reunite (virtually) and that linkedin was purely a professional network. I admit that I didn’t know much and didn’t pay attention because the world looked ok (maybe it was my age or just an impression). It took me some time and I am still learning
What is wrong is that everything one wants to read is on SubStack now. And now, within a few years of its founding as the refuge of the cancelled and the banned, Substack is all IDwalled, bad as any of the others. Goodbye Sasha Latypova, et al.
Hre is a good one about vaccines. https://expose-news.com/2024/10/26/sasha-latypova-vaccines-cause-anaphylaxis/
At least in the U.S., the VPNs all have backdoors programmed into them by law for the alphabet agencies in the event of investigating naughty people like “SUSPECTED” “terrorists” or at least folks they claim to be, etc. or whatever the flavor of the moment excuse would be.
So, international borders and VPNs are a moot point, anyway. They’re ALL compromised. Anything you do digitally anymore you can assume is compromised.
Snowden should have taught everyone that, no matter HOW “Controlled Opposition” he was.
Even encryption servers have/had backdoors. Until a few years ago, the sole democracy in West Asia sold them.
Have forgotten Snowden. Good to bring him up again, because his is the whole shit again again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden – Revelation of a global surveillance network.
Back to the nightmare . Colosseum – https://youtu.be/eUMe6USY6ls
Yes, that is the bigger issue. There may come a point where VPNs (at least for anonymity’s sake) become useless. If every country and major social platform adopts the same measures in the same style as Covid conformity.
And yet there are powers for whom anonymity would still seem to be a good thing and would still wish it widely distributed Internet-wide. Journalists in hostile lands, investigative reporters, undercover workers etc.
If only spies or Police use a particular method of communication then it makes it easy to identify them. Which was the reason why Tor was dished out to the general population in the first place after being a spies-only tool.
The principle of ‘hiding in plain sight’ (from the point of view of those in power) may still save anonymity for the general populace
Isn’t it wonderful to see these so-called sovereign, independent nations all walking in lockstep on this issue? …Covid-1984 vibes, anyone?
Even Brazil from BRICS has got in on the act. Won’t be long before the R, I and S join the party. The C may not bother since it probably knows who everyone online within its borders is already.
Oh well, there is always some geopolitical dispute to keep the ‘Whites hats are coming’ faithful living in hope of a saviour figure or their preferred regime riding to the rescue.
Rolling Rock, maybe they’re all walking in lockstep cuz the WEF & and their Young Leaders infiltrated them.
Yes, same as the covidiocy.
