This initiative is just a smokescreen; it actually pushes things down the slippery slope.
Define "necessary". Define "by law". The pushers for proof-of-age already say it's anonymous – but it can't be.
do we sign it this way? it would just agree to doing nothing but with fancy words, wouldn't it?
No, we don't; it's exactly as you say. My impression is that this is something organized by the pro-chat-control and pro-age-verification lobbies, to deceive with words people who are against. They get them to sign and then they can say "people signed for this!".
