    Because its not about age verification, its about tracking and controlling you and making a privacy respecting solution isn’t compatible with that.

      So there should be a rebuttal demanding a privacy respecting age verification token, instead of just arguing against age verification, which technically does have a point. This way you disable their excuse to sneak in the other things.

        No, we still need to be against it. I said tracking and controlling, not just tracking.

        They are already blocking resources that shouldn’t be blocked from youth, and even a privacy centric method would still let them do that, and then expand it to anything at a whim in the future.

          Okay, it’s 2 topics then, the privacy, and basically add a mandatory authorization layer to the internet derived from your real id.

          To some extent the later already exists for movies or say to buy alcohol, getting a driving license etc. in the real world, where people often also have to verify their age. So here it could be asked on what exact basis the internet should work differently.
