#ageverification is not about protecting kids.
Its about identifying adults.
The "internet passport" statists and authoritarians were masturbating over for the last 30 years.

@n_dimension@infosec.exchange @MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online #AgeVerification is also about discouraging #FreeSoftware , which has never required a central authority, in favor of closed software, which pushes you to create an account on a commercial entities server ( Microsoft / Apple iCloud / Google ). To me, that is the real agenda behind this age verification bullshit. Closed software vendors, which are a dying breed, have the deep pockets to lobby politicians, and bamboozle the people through media, into passing a superficially reasonable, but very insidious law. Let us spread awareness about this issue, and educate people.
