The thing is, it's not really children who lose access to this sort of content, it's the user who doesn't want to give Reddit or Twitter or whoever else a copy of their driving licence. Without age verification, they don't see the truth of something like Gaza, because it's ages restricted. They can however view the other, sanitised version of the story.
Precisely this. OP could have been more effective in their message by avoiding the sarcasm. The end game is censorship, not protecting children or whatever.
> I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos.
Not watching any genocide videos means not seeing anything related to the genocide either. And that provides the basis for propaganda to make the genocide disappear, or turn it around by inventing realities. That was how the Iraqi WMDs were made happen.
This is happening for no apparent reason, other than Netanyahu personally requesting it at the start of 2025.
