The real problem with this is that the ultimate objective isn't age verification, it's complete de-anonymization. I think different groups want this for different reasons, but the simple reality is that minimizing the identify information transferred around is antithetical to their goals.
- Seattle3503 8mo agoIf we create age verification tools with strong privacy protections that solve the problems they raise, we can can call their bluff. If we fight every and any solution, we may end up with their solution, becauase they build it. We end up in the position of saying "don't use the thing they built" without offering alternatives. I'd rather be saying "use whatbwe built, ita is better."

Ever had a single shipment confirmation to your address come to your mail? They know who you are. The hardware providers already have the information. You only need to make them reveal it to 3rd parties.
- EmbarrassedHelp 8mo agoWe should be banning groups from collecting age related information, and not requiring it. And we definitely should not be forcing companies to share that information with third parties.
