I agree that they’re not mutually exclusive. I wasn’t saying that they were.
I was pushing back against the idea that age verification is the best and only reasonable response to our internet problems (the “lesser of two evils” argument).
I personally exclude age verification when other, better options - like the ones mentioned above - exist and haven’t even been tried.
It’s like watching someone try to build a fire, fail, and then chuck a grenade in the firepit.
It’s easy, but it’s not going to get you the result you were hoping and it’s likely to make everything worse.
Okay, fair enough. It is interesting to hear other potential solutions to this problem. It is a tricky issue, I don’t really know what the best thing to do is
