EU parliament accepted a last minute amendment, mandating age verification for pornographic (whatever that is) content online, punishable with up to one year prison sentence.

This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?

    This is misleading. It will keep your information private from the website you’re accessing (supposedly), but the EU authorities will know full well which websites you’re visiting and surveilling.

    And of course, they will apply the non-compliance claims to absolutely anything they want to censor.

      I know very well that it is known which pages I visit, when authorities pretend it.

      I’m normally not a friend of AI, but despite of this I use Andisearch as my main search engine since almost 3 years, because with it, I don’t have even the need to access most of the pages, I can read these in the own reader mode in the search results and summarize the content, sandboxed and with random proxie. The search concepts don’t even appears in the browser history only that I searched with Andi, but not what, I can watch YT videos also direct in the search results. It’s one of the most private search engine which I know, and I know almost all also thanks to an user. Free, no limits, no logs, no ads, no cookies, anonymous, own independent LLM.
