So first it was 16 now 13 that's good

Whatever shape it lands in, the part that touches us is the same as the UK and the state laws in the US: the verification sits in front of the site, and traffic drops the moment it does. Worth watching which sponsors already have a flow that doesnt bounce EU users, bc thats going to decide where the traffic goes way before the law is final. Cam programs will prob be first to have something, they already do ID on the model side.

Is the EU more liberal or conservative in their freedoms compared to other parts of the world?

When you put a bunch of woke liberals in charge of 400 milion people across multiple countries what else can you expect.

Do EU laws trump local national ones?

Going after porn is the low hanging fruit anywhere for politicians to score points.

More bs from the EU

Brussels is full of good ideas and bad ones, this is an example of the latter.

What do parents think of this proposal are they for it?

Something to look forward to when you become a teenager being able to freely surf the net

Keeping kids safe is their parents responsibility not the state's job.

18 > 16 > 13 what's next everyone needs to be verified to surf the net?

Making it any age already means you have to verify your age so they have you in the database.
