    Depressing seeing so many of the parents and children alike saying that they support it when all of them are basically acknowledging that it doesn’t even work.

    The majority of people truly don’t see these laws for what they are, and they just take the name at face value. I can forgive it coming from a 13 year old, lmao, but their parents? Embarrassing

      It was the strategy of calling it “age verification” as a trojan horse for surveillance. I should be called “identity verification.” If people were being told that you needed to verify your identity to watch porn I’m sure the vast majority of people would be against this in an instant.

      I’m not a parent, but I’m sceptical about anonymity on major social platforms, because enables things that I don’t like about these platforms. I favor anonymity*, with the * being the ability of the legal system to break it if necessary, for example using multi-key, asymmetric cryptography.

      I know this isn’t what’s happening here. These are my two cents on how I would totally like to somewhat kill the anonymity for some parts of the internet.
