Implying there's a simple solution that isn't being implemented because they weren't forced to by law. So what is that simple solution?
Children typically don't have any form of government issued ID. You can verify someone is a legal adult (you probably shouldn't, but the point is that you can) whereas you can't easily verify that someone online is a child.
- intrasight 8mo agoI didn't say there was a "simple solution". I said it would be an easy problem for the software services if they had a proper age verification service that was government sanctioned.
- fc417fc802 8mo agoIf it's an easy problem then there's a simple solution. You seem to have glossed over my second paragraph. How is this service supposed to work for children?
- intrasight 8mo agoSorry, didn't respond to that. All humans must be assigned digital identity by the government. You won't be able to use a connected digital device without assigning it identity.
- fc417fc802 8mo agoOkay. That would indeed make it an easy problem to solve from the perspective of a service operator. However I don't think I'd consider that to be a "sensible reform". Rather a dystopia that must be avoided at all costs.
