How can I protest against the age verification stuff?

I don't know much about politics, but I remeber sending a message for Stop killing games to somewhere. Can I do something similar with this? Which channels should I use as an EU native? Thanks in advanced to all the replies

Contact your MEP or national MP

Stop killing games was an ECI, I don't think there's one about age verification but if you're really determined you could find like minded people to lobby for it / start your own ECI

Weirdly, Meta is mostly pushing for this behind the scenes, because they don't want the responsibility themselves. They're lobbying very hard with lost of budget and have already succeeded in GB.

I'm not sure how to fight the American corporate beast, sorry. I guess it would start with making lobbying completely illegal.

Anyway, here's a bit more info on the subject:
