Please make a protest by filling in this anonymous survey (doesn't matter what country you're in) with the text below. Deadline tonight (26th).

Paste the text (or even better, slight variations of it):

REGULATE THE TECH COMPANIES, NOT THE PUBLIC. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ISSUE, NOT A BAN

into every text field. N.B. many questions have a "Other (please specify)" field - that is where you enter the free text.

Reasons in the blog post.

Please share!

I went through. Took some time. Ensured to state that these tactics can affect vulnerable people of all age, and the problem does not lie with the individual more predatory behaviour and money in tech.

A good few I told them to keep their nose out and it’s a parents choice to go em, not a government directive

a very good way to get your opinion thrown out as automated spam.

Yeah this doesn’t feel super effective

Fair. Or just fill it in with full answers - even better!

Either way we need to let them know that there is opposition to a ban. The questions are worded to herd you towards saying yes to age verification for all 🤬
