Does it worry you that almost every non-billion-dollar website, including this one, will be shut down?
Age verification is expensive. Extremely so. It hands a monopoly on all speech and communication to the very same social media giants that everyone is angry at, by making all alternatives illegal.
I don't know about you, but to say this worries me would be a monumental understatement. I am terrified.

@gullok@mastodon.social And before you retort “what about zero-knowledge proof”, that hands a monopoly on all speech and communication to the big two smartphone manufacturers, by making all alternatives, including GrapheneOS, Linux phones, and desktop PCs, unusable.
