Just like the free market figured out cybersecurity? It ain't a magic wand that fixes all problems, buddy. Some problems just aren't possible to fix without making changes that sacrifice values core to the economy and of our culture.

I buy alcohol, I'm age verified. The govt didn't need to build a big fancy age verification system for businesses to use, they only needed to fine businesses who sell alcohol to minors. The businesses will figure out how to be in compliance.

  A website isn't comparable to a physical storefront. What an absolute boomer thing to suggest. What tech discipline are you in? Policy? Because I have serious doubts you have any technical experience. A website is mediated by computers. Computers make copies of information that is sent to them because that is how computers work. Tech companies also like to collect and sell personal information. What do you think will happen with records of people's fetishes in the hands of companies that like to sell personal information?

    Physical storefronts don't collect and sell your information? > What do you think will happen with records of people's fetishes in the hands of companies that like to sell personal information? Not my problem and tangential to age verification.

      > Physical storefronts don't collect and sell your information? I have no reason to believe a physical strip club would sell info of which ladies I look at to anyone with a couple of bucks. I can't say the same about websites. > Not my problem and tangential to age verification. You can't demand a solution while ignoring the cost and expect to be taken seriously.

        My solution is fine- privacy is not one of my requirements.

        You didn't give a solution. You just asserted "the free market will handle it."

        Yes, because the free market has handled this exact thing for porn, alcohol, etc. This idea that online is somehow special doesn't fly with me. We can agree to disagree.

        That isn't a solution. The free market isn't magic. The free market hasn't solved cybersecurity. The free market hasn't solved world hunger. The free market sure as hell hasn't solved Healthcare or even promote good health. You have magical thinking at best. This isn't an "agree to disagree" issue any more than it would be for me disagreeing with someone who believes the moon is made of cheese.
