So we have a proposal that is -
a) easily broken given it has no effective revocation process.
b) has no explanation of how it could possibly work on non-proprietary hardware and operating systems.
c) opens with praise from Jonathan Haidt, who might kindly be described as a scientifically illiterate fantasist.
d) does not understand that the problematic effects of age verification on queer teenagers is that their parents may be abusive, not that their parents could give them the occasional exemption.
e) creates single identifiers that destroy private access and creates a honeypot for abusive sextortionists to target vulnerable women and teenagers in much the same way as any age verification system.
f) gives a small group of big tech companies with arbitrary control over all content access.
g) falls apart due to extraterritoriality, as Australia has just found out.
