This is not the same. For instance, we can access the internet without needing that ID. But right now there are attempts to force a digital ID in order to access information on the www - this is the whole idea behind "age verification". The kids are just used as excuse here. It has never been about the kids.
- izacus 5mo agoI think you're jumping to conclusions that aren't supported by the digital ID proposal. Even with that: There's plenty of services dangerous to kids that we gate behind an ID check and I don't particularly see why internet is special in any way.
- fc417fc802 5mo agoYou think bad actors are going to plainly spell out their nefarious intentions? Or worse, the misinformed reactionaries that genuinely believe they're doing good. No one claimed the internet should receive special treatment. The two forms of ID check that you're attempting to equate aren't the same.
