Dunno, unless it's like, a bank or government service, no one is getting a copy of my ID or CC just so I can view their fkin website. I guess I'll just use the web even less than I already do.

Oh yeah and despite all this BS security theatre to "protect the children", teenagers will still find ways to connect with whoever they want to and find whatever content they want online. Source: I was a 12-year-old with dialup internet and my own computer, once.

Relevant nitpick: everywhere this article says "internet" they mean "web".

Same, companies underestimate how interested I am in using their websites. Last month I uninstalled instagram because it asked me to pay or get more ads, every other post was already either an ad or a promotional post, I left.

The vast majority of websites are already unusable or full of low value bot content, most search engines are useless, block behind paywalls, subscriptions, &c. Hopefully this will create a new ecosystem of tools for people who want to escape

so it's actually good for society? :) We can go outside and see a sun again

At least until they figure out how to put ads on it.
