I never did. In my 25 years of using and working with computers, my only social media accounts where Twitter (deleted since 5 years), reddit (deleted) and now the fediverse.
And I never give people my private mobile number if I know that they use meta apps
The coalition wants to implement model regions, where commercial delivery chains, from farming to the counter, should be tested for 5 years.
This will require another law of course.
The goal is to show the EU that legalizing helps better to archive the goals of the prohibition then the prohibition.
This was a joke for 420. I know that this is also his birthday. Just don’t care in this context
The initial drafts proposed canabis shops and licenses. But the EU declined it. So we get the max that is currently possible. Yes that law has some strange parts, but nothing too concerning.

There are ways to do anonymous authentication methods. Just because companies want to it an claim otherwise it is not true. I was involved in building such tools.
Also, just because those sites host porn, should they be treated differently then other companies?
There is a good reason for THIS EU law. Others are utterly bullshit, but have a look on social media. Look at those boys, yes boys, 12 years and younger, that fall for this alpha male bullshit, or the racist, right-wing propaganda. It is reasonable to protect kids from such influences. And laws, forbidding kids younger then x to use suge sites, must be enforceable.
EDIT: For anonymous age verification: The German ID van be used for such things: it is nfc, your mobile phone can be the reader, or you buy an nfc reader for your pc. The client software is open source, and it sends only the requested data. For example “older then X”.
An such a system is to be rolled out (or maybe even done?) In the whole EU
To all those “bad EU” commentators: the European regulations in this area make sense. Parents or individuals have no chance against those huge companies.
And most eu regulations helped the US citizens too. I just throw in apple and usb c
Sry France, but we here in Germany need out policy to hunt cannabis consumers know that it is legal to consume!
