The European Commission's special panel on child safety has published a 150-page report recommending mandatory EU-wide age assurance systems — including biometric tools — for social media access, backed by stronger cross-agency enforcement of existing digital laws. This push represents a significant step toward centralised, biometric-based digital identity controls across Europe, a key building block for the kind of global surveillance and access-restriction infrastructure described in end-times prophecy. Revelation 13:16-17 warns of a system where buying, selling, and participation in society will be gatekept by a mark or identifier — today's 'child safety' frameworks are normalising the architecture that could fulfil exactly that.
