    optional sounds reasonable now. its gets its foot in the door. it sounds like compromise. but then, other things start depending on it. and if you dont comply, they just dont work. its a dependancy. break that dependency become incompatible.

    this is not solving any problem. Sites already have the “are you 18” thing that says you aren’t allowed to know about naked people doing naked people things that we all ignored as teenagers and grew up just fine.
