@pid_eins@mastodon.social @cas@social.treehouse.systems I don't think anyone is mad about the PII angle of things. If you introduce a birthdate field without the background of age verification laws no one would bat an eye. People are mad because this is complying with laws they believe should not be complied with. By introducing the field right now, in a PR specifically mentioning the age verification laws you are making a political statement. The privacy angle is not something people care about as far as I can see and I think it's disingenuous to act like that's the main concern.

    @pid_eins@mastodon.social @cas@social.treehouse.systems personally I don't feel strongly that complying with these laws is wrong, but I do think you are misrepresenting/misunderstanding the other side of the argument
