Good!

- squigz 2y agoHow about we don't pretend there's only 1 single facet to this issue, no matter which you think it is?
- woodrowbarlow 2y agothere two false equivalencies in your argument, as presented in response to GP: 1. ID checks are not the same as age verification. 2. a social media website is not the same as a porn website. if you take the stance that social media sites should require ID verification, then i would furthermore point out that this is likely to impact any website that has a space for users to add public feedback, even forums and blogs.
