  Oh right, I remember seeing something about that now. Guess I was expecting something a bit worse, I don't see how online age requirements will help but it doesn't land as "hyper-totalitarian" to me either. Feels like a less enforcement version of age limits on buying alcohol or cigarettes - a hit on personal freedoms but can't say I've ever heard those labeled as totalitarian.

    You could very reasonably call it authoritarian, but it objectively isn't totalitarian. Words tend to lose meaning in conversations like this.
