Digital Freedom Ends Here: Prepare for the ID-Only Internet

The EU and Turkey are moving to end anonymous internet access. France and Germany want mandatory digital ID (EUDI Wallet) for social media, with age-based restrictions including a full ban for under-14s. The EU targets 80% citizen adoption by 2030. Turkey will soon require ID and phone number verification for social media while banning users under 15. VPNs will be blocked. By late 2026, the free, open internet as we know it will likely be gone.
