| Good: some commenters here realize it's an attack on privacy Bad: some still entertain the idea that we should do age verification using some sort of crypto primitives There is no reason for age verification at all. I am from the goatse generation. Rotten.com. steakandcheese. Horrific stuff tbh, I mostly stayed away from it, and I didn't need a helicopter government to protect me from it. The moment you accept the narrative that kids need to be protected from the Internet you have already lost. You've already condemned those kids to a life of slavery. So much for protecting them. What we need is not online verification, but a competent government that does its existing job well. Who's been arrested over the Epstein files? Who is protecting those kids? No one. That same government wants to "protect" your kids by KYCing everyone. Give me a break. |
