My case? What's YOUR case. Assert a position and provide proof in triplicate please. Please tell me exactly what you think and I can nitpick it vaguely instead of putting forth mine. Heh. In any case, just look at the comments under my comment. You'll see them. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44705630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44705630 (this is good, we need this). - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44705597 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44705597 (are you a conservative?! Anonymity should be reduced.) Don't be disingenuous with your proof demands and tell us what you think and then we can discuss the merits of your argument.

Please tell me exactly what you think and I can nitpick it vaguely instead of putting forth mine. Heh. "you should give evidence" doesn't need its own proof. And nitpicking such a simple idea would be a waste of everyone's time.

    You're not the original poster of the question so why are you trolling? "So many" means "so many". You're creating a straw man in bad faith. What's your take on digital Age verification. Either provide useful commentary or stop trolling. Address the existence of the other comments I linked.

      Giving you a clear answer to your questions is trolling?

It's been a relatively common position to find, at least before the most recent hubbub around Steam, Itch.io, Britain, etc. For instance, while https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42071310 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42071310 faced criticism, it also had lots of broadly supportive sentiment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42075518 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42075518, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42077025 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42077025, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42077421 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42077421, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42074066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42074066, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42074776 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42074776, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42073002 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42073002, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42075043 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42075043, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42076302 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42076302, ... Or at the very least, many here support the goal of keeping children and/or teenagers off of social media entirely, while disliking the means of ID verification. But it's not like there's any other obvious means.

  > It's been a relatively common position to find, at least before the most recent hubbub around Steam, Itch.io, Britain, etc. If you stretch the definition of "recent" to ~ 60d then you can also search for the pornhub/France thing. Quick google nets this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44210557 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44210557. There are likely others, too... but I'm lazy :).
