Question. Does it even matter, because a LOT of people (majority of humans, even babies) have their name and picture all over the internet that the AI has scraped and knows everything about you. Why would an age verify even matter? If you buy anything with credit card they have you got already.
I’m all for privacy but let’s be honest, unless you lived under a rock for the last 25 years, they know who and where you are and everything you like and dont.
That being said, the hard one for me will be when fb pushes it because I love marketplace, and also every one of my friends and family only use fb. If I quit it I’ll basically have no one.
It’s the implementation (such as in UK) requiring government ID, making it sound more like blatant data collection.
I’m honestly not the best person to talk about this. But also not every user in a website/social media has to buy something, hence not everyone has ever given their payment info.
But from tiny bit reading on recent essay on the lobbyist of the OS-level age verification law, being Facebook behind it, they kind of want to offload this work to OS so that they themselvs (social media services) don’t be the one who does this, apparently because that may violate some regulation. I don’t remember the details sorry.
As for the motives, why’s everyone suddenly obssessed with verifying everyone’s age since 2025, who knows. But I do have concern that prosecuting critics on the internet will be easier if everyone is well profiled.
I will not use those services. I think im willing to give up any service except email. And if Im forced, I guess I will identify for email since its critical to have. But its all ridiculous and part of building dystopia.
until the age verification brick hits you in the head
