🇪🇺 The EU wants to force mandatory ID checks on anyone using social media — and ban people under 18 from accessing it. To that end, the EU Commission spent over a year building an “age verification app”, which its president pompously unveiled yesterday. Today, this app got hacked in just 2 minutes. But don’t rush to laugh at EU bureaucrats. Their age verification app was hackable by design — it trusted the device (that’s instant game over). Unless the EU is run by clowns 🤡, this is their real plan: Step 1 — Present a “privacy-respecting” but hackable app. Step 2 — Get hacked (*YOU ARE HERE*). Step 3 — Remove privacy to “fix” the app. Result — a surveillance tool sold as “privacy-respecting”. The EU bureaucrats needed an excuse to silently start turning their “privacy-respecting” age verification app into a surveillance mechanism over all Europeans using social media. Today’s “surprising hack” just handed this excuse to them. 🦇 Stay vigilant!
