References to 'nanny state' are the strawman. Also - your analogy is wrong - we are not 'age verifying' the whole web, we're 'age verifying' things that ostens

References to 'nanny state' are the strawman.
Also - your analogy is wrong - we are not 'age verifying' the whole web, we're 'age verifying' things that ostensibly should be 'age verified'.
Let's just say - 'porn' - to keep it simple.
Porn is to be 'age verified' on the web literally like it is in the city shop.
You don't have to present your ID to read CNN.
They're not saying 'present your id to get into the city, but into the porn shop'
Youre screaming strawman's and presenting strawmans.
The issue is more nuanced then you've presented.
- cluckindan 7mo agoYou seem to have misunderstood the situation completely. The laws being passed in US states force OS level age and identity verification, shifting the responsibility away from individual websites.
