This bullshit age verification doesn’t solve anything. All it does is bring circumvention measures to users’ attention and they go around it. Then these idiots wonder why it didn’t work. It is a pointless, wasteful exercise.
It is 100% to collect data and correlate online activities with a real person. Its sole purpose is to track and control people. Billionaires will stop at nothing to suck more riches out of the working class and poor.
Oh, I assume it will also increase fraud. Lots of dodgy sites will ask for ids and/or credit card details to verify age. I wouldn’t trust them without a vpn, age verification or not.
Edit: typo
Its not supposed to solve anything, it’s just so they can pretend like they are, while spying on their consituents. Its a win/win for policiticians, really.

It is not meant to solve anything. It is just yet another step on the way to collect data and control people on the internet.

The converse of that is also true where legitimate websites mark your order as fraud just because you used a VPN when placing the order.
True, but a cancelled order costs you time and hassle. Leaked id and credit card info can cost much more.
