This is probably not the right place to write this but I’m not sure if it’s just me so I thought I could ask

I’m not going over details on what I did recently because I don’t feel confortable talking about it and it’s way too vulgar but yeah I keep getting meltdowns just because of age verification. Also I have a tendency of cherrypicking every word from other videos like the ones from SomeOrdinaryGamers videos about the subject

    So far, the only time I’m asked about age is a pop up on a porn site. If identify verification becomes a regular thing, I’ll find other sites to visit. If it’s at the OS level, I’ll change my OS.

      What are you going to do when it’s at the hardware and/or ISP level, and there are no workarounds for it?

          I see every reason to anticipate the possibility and look for actual solutions (not just workarounds) that would head it off, such as organizing to defeat “age verification” politically in the first place.

          Having a cavalier attitude like yours is a great way to fucking lose in the long run.

            1. Why are you assuming I’m not politically active? There is a good chance we live in different countries and are facing different threats. In my country, the courts have a history of enforcing our Constitution which states we have a right to privacy.
            2. Workarounds (your word btw) are solutions.
            3. If you feel so strongly about id verification at the hardware level you must have a plan. Care to share it with the class?
            4. Yes I have a cavalier attitude about hardware level and ISP level (something our Constitution wouldn’t allow) ID verification. I put my energy into protecting against actual threats.
