@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialAfter the event, join us at the Stop Killing Games Gala Reception where you can meet, greet, discuss, and share ideas with the people behind #StopKillingGames and #StopKillingInternet !
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialPanel 2 | Papers, please: the internet after age verification
Paul Diegel, @jamesbaker.social.openrightsgroup.org.ap.brid.gy, and Professor Bart Preneel on age checks, ID checks and the lessons of the Discord breach.
Both panels moderated by Caroline De Cock (@informationlabs.org)
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialPanel 1 | Ownership 2.0: you bought it, who owns it? If a publisher can switch off a game you paid for, did you ever own it? What would a DFA amendment on ownership and preservation actually say? Moritz Katzner, Kasper Drążewski and Julien Masanès discuss what the Digital Fairness Act must fix.
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialThe @ec.europa.eu said no to #StopKillingGames legislation. We're taking the fight to the Digital Fairness Act
🎮 Fair Play in the Digital Fairness Act!
📅 Sat 17 Oct, 15:30 to 18:30 CEST

@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialThat is the link for public comment for the KIDS Act. This is the Stop Killing the Internet Initiative: eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/
@yazagames.comReposted by @stopkillinggames.bsky.socialas always - please support our great friends from @stopkillinggames.bsky.social in the fight against such practices
@gamersvoice.bsky.socialReposted by @stopkillinggames.bsky.socialWe have updated our briefing on how the EU Kids Act would impact gaming and specifically the Stop Killing Games campaign. You can download the updated version here gamersvoice.org/how-the-eu-k... #EUKidsact #Stopkilkinginternet #SKGaming
@stopkillinggames.bsky.social- Read up on the EU Kids Act: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...
- The leaked proposal of the Kids Act: drive.proton.me/urls/7FGQYQ0...
- Contact your Member of European Parliament about your opposition to the Kids Act, and why they should also be opposed to it: www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
@stopkillinggames.bsky.social- Leave a public comment about the EU Kids Act. Be polite and civil. This isn't Twitter or social media, but a direct public comment to the Commission. They're under no obligation to take people seriously if people misbehave or get out of hand: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...
@stopkillinggames.bsky.social- Sign and spread the #StopKillingInternet Initiative if you're an EU citizen of voting age (friends and family count too!): eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialRoss explains how the EU Kids Act is cover for making private servers without age verification illegal, and expanding surveillance under the guise of protecting kids. Here's how to fight back: - Spread the word and this video far and wide! Let the public know what's happening! ...
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialThe proposal mentions this applying to operating systems multiple times, but it's unclear if it's referring to all operating systems, or only operating systems with age verification. We've had lawyers look through this and there's no consensus Hence why it's in the MIGHT section and not DEFINETLY
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialHere's the finalized proposal: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...
If you want the leaked proposal (2 pages shorter, and not much of a difference in content) here it is: drive.proton.me/urls/7FGQYQ0...
@gilamasan.bsky.socialReposted by @stopkillinggames.bsky.socialThe bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...
With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialThat's not all you can do: Remember to sign the Stop Killing the Internet Initiative: eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/
Contact your Members of European Parliament @europarl.europa.eu about your opposition to the Kids Act
Turn up the public pressure on the @ec.europa.eu so the Kids Act gets scuttled!
@stopkillinggames.bsky.socialLike how we had a feedback campaign for the Digital Fairness Act, there's now a place to give feedback on the EU Kids Act: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...
- Be polite
- Write in your own words and experiences
- Emphasize video games shouldn't have age verification private servers shouldn't be illegal

@doesitplay.orgReposted by @stopkillinggames.bsky.socialGood morning, Europe!
Following the reveal of the potentially devastating EU Kids Act, we'd like to remind you that a 1st step to combat the excessive attack on privacy and freedom is signing the political instrument of an ECI: citizens-initiative....
