Given the track record of both the country and other EU attempts (despite the existence of a zero trust verification framework) I am quite sure this will be used to de-anonymize users online, see UK.

There it rears its ugly head again, the preemptive cynicism that prevents anything good from ever getting done.

It’s simple really: zero trust age verification should be a strict requirement of any such law and anything else illegal for age verification.

That to me is what has to happen and it’s important to me. That’s my perspective on this – not that‘s never going to happen anyway, so no point in trying to.

Its not preemptive, more like reactive, track record is bad and current PM is enshrouded in corruption, so do the maths.

Please, enlighten us on the track record of Spain.

Because I really can't recall anything outrageous, and surely nothing on the level of surveilance existing in the UK.

Hacienda is the most extractive Tax Agency in the world. They have lobbied for ever more intrusion into private lifes of citizens in order to extract more money. Thus they have included a "lifestyle auditing" that has access to many cross-databases, utilities, insurance, etc....

If you set up a system of ID identification linked to your real ID and IP, Hacienda (and the police, and eventually private companies) will be able to backtrack.

The current PM's rother, wife and half of his cabinet are involved in corruption scandals linked to COVID funds given to companies that bribed people. This is the government that will implement such efforts. Would you be able to trust them ?
